will work,� he said. “The focus of this space and the vision of Hasso Plattner is to keep it a public place.� Plattner, a 70-year-old German billionaire who co-founded SAP in 1972, has endowed, among other things, the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University (known as the “d.school�) and is the majority shareholder of the San Jose Sharks. Shirole characterized HanaHaus as an early effort in SAP’s plans to “build a global street presence� for the company. “This is the first,� he told members of the Historic Resources Board. “We will connect with innovators, with Stanford to create new technology solutions. ... Given what SAP does, it’s important for us to stay in close touch, and we strongly believe that cafes are the hub of such activity.� He noted that the insurance marketplace Lloyd’s of London grew out of Lloyd’s Coffee House, established in London in 1688. Shirole said remodeling of the old theater, which opened in 1927, will be minimal and take a “light touch.� The front courtyard will con-
tain moveable tables and chairs, with string lighting above. Inside the lobby, where new ceramic tile flooring will replace the existing stamped concrete, will be more tables and chairs and a “technology desk� where patrons can learn about available work-related services. New lighting fixtures and a raised stage — to facilitate public forums and other events to be held at least monthly — will be added in the main auditorium, along with frameless, glass-wall partitions to create three enclosed spaces. The marquee, while not the original, will remain intact, with only the tenant signage replaced. The SAP lease does not extend to the second floor of the building, which has been converted to office space and occupied by Samsung since June 2013. The building is owned by developer Chop Keenan. It is listed on Palo Alto’s Historic Inventory under Category 1, meaning an “exceptional building.� It is not included in the National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Office lists it as a “Category 3� resource, meaning that it appears eligible for the National Register, according to city documents.
