This project includes a seismic upgrade and modernization of a historic 3 story unreinforced masonry building. Construction for this project began in September, 2003 and includes full seismic and ADA upgrades. In addition to the seismic reinforcement, work included space programming, space layouts, workstation design, custom casework design, lighting and color coordination, and tenant improvements for the entire building (approximately 9,000 SF). 

Mock/Wallace architects worked with City Staff and their consultants to provide building programming support, create city-wide systems furniture standards, and design a test floor at the current City Hall Annex. Mock/Wallace completed the furniture plan for the entire new Civic Center Tower  a 530,000 square foot facility. This project included design of systems furniture, freestanding desks, and re-use of existing free-standing furniture.

Building design architect is Richard Meier and Partners and The Steinberg Group are the tenant improvement architects. 

Tenant improvements and new worktations were provided at this small office at the Palo Alto Corporation Yard.  We worked with Pivot Interiors to develop the final workstation design. 

Here is an illustration we provided to the City to help them visualize alternative  proposals on panel heights.

6655 Mission Street, Daly City:  This new 35,000 SF building houses a community center, two gymnasiums, meeting spaces and the John Daly Branch Library at the “top-of-the-hill” area.   

885 Folsom Street:  A professional office included interior design, space planning, custom designed workstations, and tenant improvements in a striking concrete building in San Francisco's South of Market Area.

 

Civic Center, Palo Alto:  A major seismic upgrade to the 7 story tower provided the City with an opportunity to completely rethink the use of the building.  Mock/Wallace was retained to provide space planning service for the entire tower building and to develop the vacant 7th floor space into executive offices.  Mock/Wallace went on to provide interior design and  workstation design services for all seven floors of the building.
