Studio 15 is a (S.R.O.) Single Room Occupancy infill downtown
development comprised of 275 efficiency studios in a five story building over

consisting of a groundwater and vapor barrier and ground water extraction system
were installed to ensure safe operation of the building. Partnering with DTSC
assured timely performance of the remediation activities.

size community kitchen for large gatherings, a movie/theater room and a landscaped
outdoor courtyard. Each studio includes a complete efficiency kitchen, bed,
