Contra Costa College, Library Remodel
Degenkolb designed the renovation and retrofit of this one story concrete masonry library building. The renovation included adding an elevator, moving two stairwells, and designing a new roof light monitor to allow for more natural light in the building. Retrofit measures included anchorage of the masonry walls to the roof diaphragm. The retrofit scope was added during the construction phase of modernization. Degenkolb’s strong relationship with DSA was pivotal in getting the change order approved for the retrofit during construction.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
I originally wanted to be an architect. My dad was a structural engineer and he used to teach classes at UC Berkeley’s School of Architecture. I would occasionally go with him. I really liked seeing how things were put together. Dad insisted that I go into structural engineering. It’s been a great career. I still get to work around wonderful architects and I really understand how to put things together.
Little Known Fact
One of my bucket list items is to do a triathlon. I’m an avid swimmer, so I just need to get the other two.
Question of the Day
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I’d either be a quilter on Etsy or write crossword puzzles.
