The school was originally built in 1917 and was rebuilt in 1963.  The building was originally made of concrete with unreinforced masonry infill, and a concrete frame that wasn’t ductile.  This project saw several concrete shear walls built on the exterior and grabbed onto the second floor and the roof with those walls. Structural steel was used inside to connect the beams and the walls to the shear walls, and the roof diaphragm was updated, and we saw the concrete block walls and the interior cut and reinforced.
