Alhambra Community Center (formerly the Alhambra Health Center and the Shorb Clinic)

Shannon led the historic resource analysis for the Alhambra Health Center EIR, prepared by ESA for the City of Alhambra. The project would redevelop a 23,000-sf medical facility constructed in 1930 and found eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. ESA’s environmental analysis found the project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact. In addition to the initial assessment of the building, Shannon was responsible for developing a range of feasible alternatives to avoid or reduce impacts, authoring architectural studies on the adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of the structure, and assisting in the public review process, including conducting several public outreach meetings with community stakeholders and preservation advocates.
