The Hotel Woodland, which is included in the National Historic Preservation Registry, was rehabilitated to showcase retail shops and offices on the first floor while providing affordable housing to tenants on its upper floors. This rehabilitation project was the first in the world to implement NASA-designed earthquake shock absorbers into the design, and, in turn, The Hotel Woodland was the first building to use them. This state-of-the-art technology and design eliminate any concern of major structural deficiencies. In addition to the shock absorbers, the structure is further supported by viscous dampers.
