We’ll be holding the first of a series of focus groups to collect community input on some important renovations to the outdoor terraces on the site.

During the last major renovation in 2009, outdoor terraces were created that outlined the structural footprint of the former Administration Building that burned down in 1940. While the original master plan called for the terraces to be paved over, these areas were covered instead with decomposed granite due to budget considerations. These small rocks, however, are damaging the Detention Barrack Museum’s stairwell and floors.

AIISF is partnering with Angel Island State Park on this new Pathways to Immigration project which will pave over these 3 terraces. This will also provide new opportunities for exhibit panels and for families to have their names recognized on the site.
