Physical Plant Building Partial Demolition
Olympic College, Bremerton, Washington
The Olympic College Physical Plant Building consists of an 11,500 sf building located at the intersection of 16th Street and Chester Avenue, in the Olympic College campus, Bremerton, WA. This facility houses Physical Plant Administration Offices, Maintenance Shops and Offices, the Olympic College Newspaper, the Multi-Cultural Center, and Shipping/Receiving.
This building was determined to be a hazard due to non-reinforced masonry construction and was prone to catastrophic collapse during a sufficient earthquake event. This building also showed indications of foundation related movement. The portion of the building which posed the greatest risk to occupants and students was demolished, including a forty-foot tall abandoned chimney.
