The Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 damaged the building badly enough that it stood vacant for about ten years. A retrofit completed in early 2001 combined steel braced frames with concrete shear walls and took the Structural Engineers Association of California's Excellence in Structural Engineering Award. Gordon Huether's Urban Grit — twelve panels of sandblasted kiln-fused glass, each three feet by four, hung in a 50-foot steel railing across the entrance — was unveiled that July, worked up from his own photographs of cracked pavement and peeling paint.
