Construction is Underway at the Boiler Building

Work has started on the Luther Burbank Boiler Building renovation project.

The last week of February, the City’s contractor, Ferguson Construction, took control of the site, clearing brush around the building, standing up safety fencing, disconnecting electrical service, and installing project signs. They’ve made progress on the inside of the building – preparing the inside structure for new flooring, updated restrooms, and importantly, a new roof and seismic retrofits to stabilize the brick building and chimney.

The first phase of this work requires a wide safety area around the building, including through the waterfront plaza area. During this period of work, pedestrian routes have been detoured. These detours will be in place throughout spring. The City’s contractor will reopen access through the waterfront as soon as it is safe to do so.
