Originally constructed in 1892, the building served as the transit ticketing office and waiting area at the Livermore Transit Center before it was shuttered in the early 1960s. The City purchased the structure in 2007 and in July 2017, DCI Engineers was part of a team that included architect Page & Turnbull which helped restore the depot for a half-mile move to its new location.

The award is the only official preservation award presented by the State of California and will be presented to the project team at a presentation ceremony, hosted at the historic Stanley Mosk Library and Courts building in Sacramento on January 22.
