Earthquake Retrofitting for Vibiana Cathedral

Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, 
California, USA

After the Diocese of Los Angeles gave up possession of this early house of worship in Southern California, it was converted into a performing arts and events center. Quake damage had done a bit of damage to the limestone and brick veneer. Intervention for this earthquake retrofit project involved the removal, restoration, and reinstallation of numerous limestone units, as well as the placement of over 2,000 stainless steel veneer anchors.
