"San Francisco Opera in the mix of War Memorial Veterans Building retrofit

The War Memorial Veterans Building will welcome a new tenant after its long-awaited seismic retrofit — the San Francisco Opera.
The opera will invest $15-$20 million in a plan in partnership with the city to seismically retrofit the building and construct 9,500 square feet of rehearsal and event space.
Headquartered in the War Memorial Opera House next to the Veterans Building, the opera currently lacks sufficient space for its rehearsals, storage and costume preparation, and rents seven facilities across the city. It was looking to consolidate its operations.
The opera toyed with the idea of putting an annex in the back end of the Veterans building for rehearsal and office space but jumped at the opportunity to occupy use the fourth floor of the building instead, said Jon Finck, the opera’s communications director."
