BUILDER $75 MILLION AND UNDER


Museum of Science and Curiosity” Originally built in 1911 on the banks of the Sacramento River, the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. Power Station B features a Beaux Arts Classic Revival style. It generated power for 42 years before being decommissioned and sitting vacant for 50 years. Several years ago, Otto Construction began working as part of a collabo-


rative design-build effort that included Dreyfuss and Blackford Architects, Buehler Structural Engineers, and the city of Sacramento to devise a reuse for the facility. In 2018, Otto signed a contract that would transform the 110-year- old historic structure into the new SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity. Otto navigated myriad environmental issues and repaired structural deficiencies that had put the historic building at risk of collapse. Te project added structural supports and a second floor inside the powerhouse and included a 22,800-square-foot addition. Ultimately, the design-build team overcame multiple hurdles to breathe new life into a historic landmark that will impact the local community for years to come. Also selected as finalists in this category were: Clark Construction for “San


Francisco Animal Care and Control” project and Pinner Construction for “Fireboat Station No. 15 at Pier F.”


Otto Construction received a Constructor award for SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity.
