In 1999 the State of California passed Assembly Bill 300 which required a survey of the State’s files on all school buildings. Buildings shown to be of certain construction types were deemed a possible risk in a seismic event and were recommended for evaluation by a Structural Engineer. Voluntary seismic upgrades at Neil Armstrong Elementary School involved the addition of concrete grade beams at every column and the wrapping of every column with carbon fiber reinforced fabric. The structural upgrades triggered ADA upgrades at the site, necessitating some walkway replacement and doorway renovations. The project was originally scheduled for two summers, but was re-evaluated with contractor input and was completed in the summer of 2014. The project was under budget.
