Fullerton Auditorium Seismic and Access Upgrade Project

Fullerton Auditorium Seismic and Access Upgrade Project

The Fullerton Auditorium located at the corner of E. Chapman Avenue and Lemon Street on the Fullerton High School campus (201 E. Chapman Avenue) is a historic resource (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The approach to design, alterations, and additions, has been completed with the objective of retaining historic character and maintaining the character-defining spaces and features of the existing building and its setting. Therefore, the significance of the building has been recognized and acknowledged. The Fullerton Auditorium is a single-story concrete shear-wall building with a Mezzanine, full basement, and clock tower. The proposed project would rehabilitate the existing building under the provisions of Title 24 Part 1 Section 4-306 and Secretary of the Interior’s Rehabilitation Standards, which includes the following notable items: • Strengthen the concrete columns and pilasters with steel plate and/or fiber reinforced polymer wrap. • Strengthen the clock tower exterior walls with fiber reinforced polymer wrap. • Construct new exterior buttresses to the west of the colonnade walkway. This includes new concrete caisson foundations. • Infill the east stage opening with concrete shear wall. • Reinforce the main roof concrete diaphragm perimeter with bolted steel plate. • Construct a new concrete shear wall entry lobby to the east of the existing structure. • Provide Accessibility to toilet rooms at basement. • Provide Accessible toilet facilities at first level. • Provide Accessible seating at auditorium level.
