Plans For The Presidio’s Post: Four Alternatives And Visualizations

Presidio Main Post: Existing Condition

From the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Presidio’s Main Post (released this morning), a series of “Existing Conditions” (above) with visualizations of what could come to be (the four alternatives below).

Presidio Main Post: Four Alternative Visualizations

Alternative 1 - Would increase built space on the Main Post by 64,000 square feet. New construction would include a 57,000-square-foot office building at the Graham Street infill site and an 18,000-square-foot addition to the Presidio Theatre.

Alternative 2 (The "Proposed Action") - Would increase built space on the Main Post by 141,000 square feet. New construction would include the 100,000-square-foot contemporary art museum south of the Main Parade (between Sheridan Avenue and Moraga Street), the 95,000-square-foot lodge at the Graham Street infill site, and the Presidio Theatre addition.

Alternative 2A - Similar to Alternative 2 but would locate the contemporary art museum farther from the Main Parade, south of Moraga Street and north of Infantry Terrace.

Alternative 3 - Would increase built space on the Main Post for the 48,000-square-foot, one-story history center south of the Main Parade.

Another perspective on the Presidio Trust’s proposed alternative (and readers' comments):
