Miyamoto provided structural engineering design services for the University of California, Riverside Lothian Residence Hall. This seismic strengthening package consisted of bringing three buildings and over 200,000 SF of existing structure into compliance with the University of California’s Seismic Safety Policy. Miyamoto proposed and implemented structural solutions that could be quickly constructed during the summer break and phased the execution of the projects over four summers to minimize interruption and maximize the University’s business continuity. There were several seismically deficient building types: a four-story concrete lift-slab residence hall with architectural precast skin, a four-story, light-framed shear wall dormitory and a one-story restaurant with pre-cast concrete double-tee roof framing and concrete shear walls.
