Summary

When Patty Solis first joined Public Works more than a decade ago, it was baptism by fire for the architect and urban planner. As the job captain on the seismic upgrade to the historic War Memorial Veterans Building, Solis had to study the various historical drawings to inform the renovation design, bring order to the project and coordinate with consultants. Even 13 years later, the project still holds a cherished place in her heart. As a senior architect and section manager with the Bureau of Architecture, Solis is part of a bureau that helps shape the built environment in San Francisco’s public realm. Public Works architects design libraries, performing arts centers, recreation and parks facilities, police and fire stations, hospitals and neighborhood clinics and a wide range of other projects.
