Carrillo Street Gym Exterior Renovations Underway
The City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department has begun exterior renovations to the Carrillo Street Gymnasium (102 East Carrillo Street). The City Landmark was designed by architect Julia Morgan, who famously designed Hearst Castle among more than 700 buildings in California throughout her prolific career.
The Carrillo Street Gym Exterior Renovation Project will repair and restore the building’s exterior to honor the original design of Julia Morgan while addressing water intrusion that impacts gym use during wetter months.
The exterior renovation includes waterproofing, repairing the stucco and decorative columns, replacing damaged windows, painting, and finalizing the seismic evaluation report. Upon completion, the Carrillo Street Gym will return to being a reliable gymnasium for year-round indoor recreational use.
During the project, access to the building, its parking lot, and the breezeway between the gym and the Carrillo Recreation Center will be closed. Programming at the Carrillo Recreation Center will not be impacted.
The project is funded by Measure C.
