New Plans for Old Santa Barbara Armory

For decades, the old armory on Canon Perdido Street has gathered dust.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District bought it eight years ago, but planning for the site stalled — until now.

Last week, district officials discussed plans to turn the 27,000-square-foot landmark — situated between Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School — into a career and technical education (CTE) center.
