| New facilities for a growing culinary school, accomplished by a top-to-bottom renovation of an existing 1922 orphanage. In-depth conversations and facility programming with owners determined spatial relationships to accommodate banquet space for 100 patrons, an elaborate training kitchen for 7 students & 2 instructors, administrative office space for 12 staff members, and dormitory rooms for 45 students.
This project provided the first mixed use facility and permanent headquarters for this young organization. Through continuous communication between the two owners, key staff people and architect, we were able to produce a very functional building at $33/sf. |
New space added to both the existing second and third floors with new hipped roofs. Conversion of fIrst floor space into column free banquet room through use of steel beams. Comprehensive interior refurbishing including all mechanical systems, finishes, insulation, and lighting.
Natural lighting for instructional and administrative spaces received high priority, with state-of-the-art full spectrum shielded fluorescent lighting as back-up system. Heat recovery of exhausted kitchen hood air is to be implemented in the first year. of operation. |
