Renovation and Seismic Upgrade of a 1930’s Ford Assembly Plant

In the 1920's the Ford Motor Company commissioned architect Albert Kahn to design regional automobile assembly plants. The largest on the West Coast was built in Richmond CA. With over 500,000 square feet of floor space under one roof it is still today the largest single building on San Francisco Bay. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake this National Historic Building was severely damaged to the point that it could not be occupied. This paper tells the tale of how due to incredible time restraints an Olympian effort was needed to retrofit and restore this national treasure to a usable commercial building.
