AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OAK GROVE SENIOR HOUSING
OAKLAND, CA

OSA designed the renovation of Oak Groves North and South senior housing complex (two sister properties) owned by the Oakland Housing Authority.  The two buildings are both 4-stories with Oak Grove North having 77 units and Oak Grove South having 75 units.  Renovation included replacement of exterior cladding, windows, roofing, and deck systems. Interior common areas were remodeled for ADA compliance and functionality.  All building systems were upgraded and new photovoltaic arrays were added.  Environmental soils analysis found that the sites were not fully remediated at the time of original construction.  Remediation of potential soil vapors included under slab vapor extraction, better interior ventilations systems, and capping of 75% of the site with hardscape paving.
