Code and systems upgrades for a 1927 hall at Caltech.

Built in 1927, Caltech’s Dabney Hall of Humanities is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The renovation restored its classical Spanish details, modernized the building systems, and met current seismic, Title 24, and fire-life-safety codes inside the historic fabric.

The hall holds a lecture room, offices, the original library, and a treasure room.
