Background

Building was originally constructed in 1970. Building conformed to codes at the time, but a lot has changed in terms of seismic requirements. Previous and current seismic evaluations have shown that the library does not meet current standards for Life Safety. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL OR UNEXPECTED FOR THIS VINTAGE OF BUILDING.

Structure

Seismic Objectives

Seismic retrofjt will conform to the Basic Performance Objective for Existing buildings (BPOE) for an Assembly occupancy. Protect the life safety of the building

• ccupants and allow exiting during a

seimic event. Continued functioning of the building after may not be possible.

• Protect existing concrete columns
• Bracing of pre-cast concrete panels, mechanical

equipment, etc.
