Richmond Ford Motor Co. Plant Evaluation & Analysis City of Richmond Richmond, CA

Designed by noted architect Albert Kahn in 1930, this 500,000-square-foot plant building was being considered for rehabilitation and adaptive reuse. Interactive Resources provided a comprehensive analysis of the condition of the structure and its potential for adaptive reuse. The firm provided a Survey and Report on the Architectural and Structural Condition of the Ford Plant (1982), a Rehabilitation Feasibility Study (1983), and a Structural Engineering Review of Masonry Problems at the South Wall (1987). Interactive Resources also prepared an Historic Structure Report and Nomination form for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (1988).

Following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, Interactive Resources was called upon to investigate the seismic safety of the building. The firm prepared a post-earthquake evaluation of the structure which determined that the building was unsafe for occupancy, and prepared a report for the City of Richmond Redevelopment Agency that included estimated repair costs to accompany a FEMA grant application.
