History
Built in 1916 Designed by local architect Richard K.
A. Kletting Budget set at $2.5 million The capitol was to be built of stone, with
a concrete and steel superstructure Built before knowledge of earthquake
dangers. Therefore did not meet seismic building codes

2004-2008 renovation and seismic upgrade 2 options: either rebuild the capitol from
scratch (a cost of $1 billion) or rebuild the foundation so that it meets seismic building codes (cost of $260 million)
Installed 265 base isolators Added new concrete walls to stiffen the
building causing concentration of movement within the isolators
