UC Law SF 100 McAllister Street

Project Details

The University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (UC Law SF), is undertaking a significant renovation of its historic 28-story tower at 100 McAllister Street. Originally designed by Timothy Pflueger and completed in 1930, this Gothic Revival and Art Deco landmark has served various purposes over the decades, including as a church, hotel, and government office, before being acquired by UC Law SF in 1980 for student housing.

The current project involves a comprehensive remodel and seismic upgrade to enhance safety and functionality. The renovation will restore residential units, upgrade elevator systems, repair the building's exterior, and reprogram several floors for academic and administrative use. This initiative is part of UC Law SF's long-range plan to develop an academic village in downtown San Francisco, aiming to create a modern and integrated campus environment.

As a photographer, I have the unique opportunity to document this transformation, capturing the blend of historic architecture and modern enhancements. Through my lens, I aim to showcase the careful preservation of the building's original character alongside the innovative updates that will serve future generations of law students. This project not only revitalizes a significant architectural landmark but also reflects UC Law SF's commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities for its community.
