The project consists of a comprehensive rehabilitation and seismic upgrade to Building 300 on the Fullerton College campus. Built in 1936 with funding from the Public Works Administration (PWA) and the Works Projects Administration (WPA), the original Commerce Building (Building 300) is the oldest community college building in the State of California. The building has been identified as a significant contributor to the Fullerton College Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and the California Register of Historical Resources on March 10, 2023.
Dunbar Architecture was hired in 2024 to serve as the Historic Preservation Consultant under the Architect of Record for the project, Westberg White Architecture. Our role on the project is to provide assistance and guidance during construction to maintain the Secretary of the Interior Standards compliance.
