ST.
HELENA HIGH SCHOOL, VINTAGE HALL
St. Helena, CA
A 21,330 square foot historic,
three-story concrete and stone building, with wood roof
and floors. This Napa Valley landmark was constructed
in 1913 as a high school but closed to students in 1967
when it was deemed inadequate for possible seismic loads.
Working closely with DSA, a retrofit scheme was developed
to strengthen the building for public school use. Steel
braced frames, concrete foundations, wall anchorage and
diaphragms were added to the interior, leaving the exterior
of the building unchanged. Winner of the 2004 Coalition for Adequate School Housing (C.A.S.H.) Modernization/Reconstruction
Award of Excellence and the 2004 California Preservation
Foundation California Preservation Design Award.

NAPA EDUCATION CENTER & PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE
Napa, CA
Originally damaged by an earthquake in 2000, this historic, 60,000 square foot building was renovated and seismically upgraded. The building includes a 680 seat theatre including fly-loft, administration spaces, technology upgrades, and history room. To avoid impacting the historic facade while seismically upgrading the building, steel braced frames were hidden. Photo: Quattrocchi Kwok Architects.

SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE, FRANK P. DOYLE LIBRARY
Santa Rosa, CA
This new 145,000 square foot, four-story library features classroom and office space, a 3,854 square foot art gallery, a 2,959 square foot tutorial center with seating for 175 students and two large technology enhanced classroom spaces equipped for distance learning. ZFA used unique moment frames to enable the library to resist seismic forces without the use of diagonal steel braces. Patented "slotted web connections" were used to attach the beams to the columns. These special welded connections have been used for hospitals but this was the first use in an educational facility in California. Photo: TLCD Architecture. |

HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL
Brentwood, CA
Totaling 251,843 square feet, this high school is the largest school campus in ZFA's educational portfolio. Home to over 2,000 students, this campus includes an extensive grouping of clustered buildings for administration, multi-use, classrooms, a multi-story library/media center, as well as a 300 seat theatre, gymnasium, and pool. The campus is organized around an oval Campus Green and sits in the rolling foothills of Mt. Diablo.
ZFA's responsive engineering utilized wood stud and shear wall construction as well as steel studs and braced frames to solve a wide variety of design challenges for the nine distinct buildings, including curved roofs and walls, a multi-level gym, auditorium with full theatrical rigging and even a rammed earth wall for the environmental sciences building.

SANTA ROSA HIGH SCHOOL, DESOTO HALL
Santa Rosa, CA
Originally designed in the 1920's, Santa Rosa High School is one of the oldest high schools in California. DeSoto Hall, a new two-story classroom building, features a full brick veneer chosen to blend with the other buildings on campus.
