Eagles Auditorium
Seattle, Washington

Seismic renovation and conversion of an historic landmark into performance theaters and affordable housing. The project involved considerable modification to the concrete encased steel framing to accommodate two acoustically isolated performance theaters, and a penthouse addition housing administrative offices, rehearsal room and scene shows. The seismic resistance of the structure was improved to FEMA 178 standards through the addition of reinforced concrete shearwalls and strongbacking of existing unreinforced masonry partition walls.
