MASONIC TEMPLE

This project required an analysis to determine the cost and feasibility of housing a variety of assembly and exhibit spaces, and is an excellent example of a large community facility analysis and retrofit. As part of the package, community meetings were held.

Alternate uses that were considered feasible, while maintaining the historic fabric of the building, included theater space for the local private School of the Arts, a dance club, retail space, corporate offices with “clean computer dedicated circuitry”, a foreign film theater, and a billiard assembly space that included a community, wedding, and dining/dancing area.

The discovery of hazardous materials temporarily delayed this project.
