We are excited to offer a construction site visit. The project is affordable housing designed by Saida+Sullivan. Mimi Sullivan, principal of the firm, also founded the School of Architecture at our university. Mimi has graciously offered this rare opportunity to students.
The project is about 60 miles away in the Historic District of Santa Rosa. This field trip is open to all students in ARH, IAD, LAN.

From Saida+Sullivan:
THE STEWART CANNERY
SANTA ROSA
Adaptive Re-use, Affordable, Historic Preservation, Multi-family Housing, Transit Oriented Development
Old and new share a place rich in context between the Santa Rosa Historic District and SMART train station and the Santa Rosa Creek. The Cannery was integral to the food industry that dominated the landscape and immigrant family economy of Santa Rosa for half a century. Behind the fine-grained brick facades rise 129 affordable family homes with onsite amenities and landscaped courtyards purposefully expressed in a contemporary language and industrial details accentuating past and present. The development preserves two historic brick walls, loading docks, metal canopies and a water tower and provides a public pedestrian promenade to the Santa Rosa Creek trail. This building is currently under construction.
