San Francisco, California, July 28, 2017 – Moffatt & Nichol continues to shape the future of the Bay Area and beyond by designing resilient coastal communities in San Francisco, increasing the region’s resiliency against flooding and seismic damage, and restoring former tidelands to nature. Some of the firm’s recent projects include flood protection and new ferry infrastructure at Treasure Island that is under construction, wetlands restoration and flood protection at Bel Marin Keys, seismic retrofit of the BART Transbay Tube, and resiliency of SFO Airport to sea level rise.
As established communities in the region are outliving the infrastructure built around them, and there is a fundamental shift from the concept of sustainability to sustainable + resilient design, the Bay Area is seeing a resurgence of its waterfront. The firm has been instrumental in key redevelopment projects including Hunters Point, Mission Rock, and Pier 70, and the rehabilitation of Port of San Francisco’s piers.
