$2.2 MILLION QUADRANGLE RENOVATION COMPLETED
The Carmel Mission Foundation announced on August 10, 2016, that the renovation of the Carmel Mission's Quadrangle Courtyard had been completed. This was made possible by a $2.2 million grant from the Carmel Mission Foundation.
The large Quadrangle Courtyard is the venue for many important parish and community events. The old concrete surface was removed and new subterranean utility infrastructure was installed to support future Mission restoration work. The Courtyard was then resurfaced with new hardscape designed to last 75-100 years.
The Quadrangle renovation marks the beginning of the Mission's Phase II restoration, a comprehensive, multi-year project to seismically strengthen and restore the Mission's 11 remaining historic structures and courtyards, including five museums, California's first library, and the Orchard House, California's oldest adobe residence.
