The conversion of Fort Baker to a lodging and recreation facility involved the renovation and seismic upgrading of 18 historic buildings and 15 new wood-framed buildings. Two architectural firms, Leddy Maytum Stacy (New Housing) and Architectural Resources Group (Historic Buildings) joined creative forces on this $65M conversion project. Murphy Burry Curry, Inc. served as the structural engineer for both architectural firms.

The historic buildings involved in this seismic upgrade range from three-story wood-framed officers' quarters to two-story unreinforced brick masonry buildings. The new structures include a 7,400-square-foot wood-framed Healing Arts Center and numerous two-story wood-framed lodging buildings. Upgrades to the existing buildings comply with the Life Safety Standards per the FEMA 356 guidelines. All new structures comply with the International Building Code (IBC), 2003 Edition.
