Palo Alto Art Center Renovation

The Palo Alto Art Center project was for the renovation of a long-standing civic building that is used as a community art and exhibition space. The Center is a single-story, modern ranch style building that required numerous updates. The renovation included construction of architectural layout improvements to upgrade the main gallery space and entrance lobby to better display traveling and local art exhibits, a whole roof replacement, repair and replacement of deteriorated wood members throughout the facility, interior finishes such as glazing, doors, windows, and hardware, exterior and interior ADA upgrades, structural improvements, and replacement of mechanical, electrical, lighting, plumbing, fire protection systems. The west wing of the building was renovated into a dedicated Children’s Wing which includes a secure entry, courtyard space, deck, and a new reclaimed wood privacy fence. The project scope included meticulously landscaped grounds and extensive measures were taken to preserve and move many of the existing trees located on the property.
