Work included new flooring systems, restored and repurposed materials, new stair and guardrail elements, restroom upgrades, interior finish improvements, exposed brick treatment, and coordinated building systems upgrades.

The project reflects Solid Structures’ ability to manage complex renovation work within a historically significant facility while coordinating structural, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical scopes.
