The transformation of the historic 19th century Ramona Hotel, designed by California’s first state architect into a modern conference facility, was no small feat. The Nova staff took painstaking efforts in the preservation of the stucco façade, ornamental terra cotta tiles, and iron accents that showcases its signature revival style architecture. A new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system were installed along with modern flooring, walls, and high-end finishes throughout the facility. The new 57,000-square-foot conference center features an extensive millwork package, a modern film room, and full service health spa. The project received a LEED gold certification.
