Constructed in 1941, Building 12, significant for its association with steel ship building in the US, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to the Union Iron Works Historic District. Today, threatened by sea level rise due to its proximity to the SF Bay, Building 12 has undergone extensive modifications to be re-purposed for its new uses. Work on this project included raising the entire Building 12 and the adjacent Building 15 frame 10-feet to accommodate projected sea level rise and inserting two new levels and a mezzanine into the existing envelope.
