The new facility was constructed in an historical downtown area and bound by an accepted land plan which ran contrary to the Owner’s needs. The architectural solution proposed not only met the owner’s needs for operations, expansion, and the need to remain in business, but also provided an alternate, improved layout as it related to the plan for the historic downtown by providing a multi-function plaza and open space adjacent to City Hall. The context based aesthetics compliments adjacent structures. The building design included such ‘sustainable’ building concepts such as a geo-thermal heating system.
