University Of Washington — Mitigated Determination Of Non-Significance
Project Name: Demolition of Brooklyn Building and five adjacent buildings in two phases.
Description of Proposal: Demolition of one office building and five adjacent structures (houses) including one maintenance garage and abutting decks, stairs, driveways, etc. The Brooklyn Building is the largest structure.

In 2007, the structure was vacated due to seismic problems. The site also contains five other structures originally built as single family residences between 1913 and 1918. Each was converted to office space. Phase 1 demolition includes the Brooklyn Building and the structure at 1209 N.E. 41st. Phase II will occur with the University’s Student Housing initiative at a later date: 4034 12th Ave NE, 4038 12th Ave NE, 4042 12th Ave NE, 4046 12th Ave NE.
