Understanding the Restoration
To achieve the goal of restoring this building to it's original appearenace at the turn of the 20th century:
-
the Restoration Project will direct its objectives, as well as govern the objectives of the Repairs and
Modernization projects. While staying true as possible to the original architecture, repairs need to be addressed first and upgrades to
the property to modern standards are in order for the building to safely manage larger volumes of people.
-
the main objectives of the Repairs Project are to fix all issues that are contributing to the decay of the building, such as replacing
the roofs, skylights, and broken windows.
-
some of the objectives of the Modernization Project are to address issues that need to be updated/upgraded and not just 'fixed'.
One example would be the upgrade of stairways, electrical, and water/sewage. The Modernization Project is also tasked with the addition of
updated handicap access and restrooms on the property.
