2016 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards – Repair First Place: The Strand

November 7, 2016 James Allene

Repair & Restoration – First Place

The Strand, American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.)
San Francisco, CA

Nominated by: Northern California and Western Nevada Chapter – ACI

The transformation of an abandoned, century-old movie theater into a highly visible, alternative, experimental performance space for San Francisco’s preeminent theater company is a major milestone in the regeneration of the midsection of Market Street. The new structural system consists of a metal deck roof diaphragm over the original auditorium trusses, ductile reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry shear walls integrated with the spatial expression of the interior spaces, and a mix of reinforced concrete slabs and beams and steel and composite metal deck floor framing all supported on new, shallow reinforced concrete foundations and grade beams. Useable area was created for actors’ changing rooms and other support functions by excavating to create a reinforced concrete basement structure below the stage between existing foundations. The project team worked closely with historic preservation architects to retain and reuse as many of the original materials and features as possible, including the masonry façade and internal finishes. To restore the façade, decorative glass fiber reinforced concrete panels were cast from molds made from the existing relief and installed below the building’s canopy to extend the ornamentation to the ground.
