The Don Pedro Recreation Agency is creating a new building complex to replace its original Headquarters and Visitor Center, lost to fire in 2016. Located on the Tuolumne River in the Sierra Nevada foothills, the Don Pedro site supports irrigation, domestic water, renewable energy, recreation, and wildlife. The project includes a new Visitor Center and administrative office building alongside the rehabilitation of the existing Trading Post. The Trading Post will retain its original layout with updates to siding, flooring, glazing, and utilities while preserving its full-service kitchen, dining area, and general store. A new deck will seamlessly connect the buildings, offering views of the reservoir and outdoor gathering spaces. Designed with a utilitarian aesthetic, the new Visitor Center complements the Trading Post, creating a cohesive complex that supports staff and enhances the visitor experience.
