County of Mendocino Health and Human Services – Yokayo Building Front Canopy Investigation and Repair Design

The County of Mendocino selected Interactive Resources for a long-term contract for architectural services, with nearly 30 capital improvement projects performed by our firm between 2014 and 2020.

This project started as a water intrusion related failure investigation of a wood framed and stucco-clad canopy that covered the entire front façade of the building.

Because of extensive damage to the existing canopy and changing functional needs, the project transitioned into replacement of most of the entire canopy with metal awnings. Only the entrance canopies were retained, extensively repaired and reroofed.

As part of the project, the entire walkway and portions of the parking lot were replaced to correct accessibility deficiencies. We worked with landscape design firm PGA Design on this project, and new functional landscaping makes the building more inviting and provides shade from the western afternoon sun.
