Join SAME and Plant Construction for an exclusive tour of 100 McAllister, a 1930s high-rise by renowned architect Timothy Pflueger, currently undergoing a major seismic retrofit.
Date: Thursday November 19, 2026
Time: The tour will begin at 3:00 PM, Tour completes at 4:30 PM with happy hour to follow.
Location: UC Law’s 100 MacAllister Building, 198 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102
Over the last 100 years, this building has functioned as a church, hotel, makeshift space for wartime use, and government office building before it was acquired by UC Law San Francisco in 1980 as student housing. This project demonstrates how historic buildings can be adapted to meet contemporary safety, sustainability, and housing needs. Because the building is still under construction, this tour offers a rare glimpse into the complexity of seismic upgrading that is typically hidden once work is complete.
