Greening of a Vital Community Asset

We are part of the project team restoring, strengthening and retrofitting the long dormant historic Municipal Boathouse. Located on one of the largest urban lakes in the country, this important community resource was built in 1909 and expanded in 1913. The design calls for a restaurant, café and meeting room on the upper levels. On the lower levels, boating facilities will be upgraded to meet current use requirements. Our seismic retrofit scheme is in keeping with the architectural intent of this historic building. Extensive site work will take place in the area around the Boathouse to make this an attractive and important community gathering area. This project is slated to achieve LEED Silver certification. The LEED features of the building include energy efficient light fixtures and equipment, low VOC content finish materials, the installation of Forrest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified mahogany for the exterior windows and doors, a recycled content of 5% on materials put into the project, and the recycling of 75% on all waste material taken from the site.
