Columbus, OH
Project Role: Drafter/Designer (bldg exterior envelope)
Projected $8-10 million renovation study to convert a 1920s downtown theatre into a state-of-the-art facility that can serve a variety of performance groups. Project involved complete documentation of the existing facility, conceptual design for lobby, house and stage renovations, backstage renovations, and an addition to house additional backstage spaces and patron amenities. My role was to assist in the documentation, research and designing the exterior building envelopes and the overall building roof system. This task required many hours of researching, interviews, and many visits to the building since there are no existing documents for the building, it was vacant for several years.
During the study we learn that many problems occur around the roof area and exterior brick structures. Choosing the right roof, exterior bulding system for both the existing structures, and the addition building can be challenging at the time. Especially the goal is to keep the historic integrity for the whole project. This project is still on going.
