Q: Why are you doing another study? Didn’t you already do a study for the project that was voted down?
A: We are doing another study because this is a new project. The design team has a good understanding of the 1908 building, but the previous project did not include a study of the 1980 addition since it was planned to be demolished. Now that it will remain in place, the designers and engineers need to document the existing conditions and assess the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems along with the ways the space is used, to be able to create plans.
