As part of Stanford University’s on-going commitment to seismically strengthen its landmark buildings and following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the University hired us to develop guidelines for repairing and renovating its Historic Quad. We then went on to renovate several of the Main Quad buildings, three of which are on the National Register of Historic Buildings, while the others are eligible for the same distinction. The center piece of the historic quad is the Stanford Memorial Church. Its renovation included the repair of historic stone work both inside and out, as well as the preservation and re-creation of all artwork and artifacts.
