With interior demolition nearly complete across the 600 Block, the project’s lead architect walked through each building, marking a critical step in the design phase. The purpose of this comprehensive site review was to ensure that structural conditions revealed during demolition are accurately reflected in the construction documents.

From steel framing to exposed joists, this walkthrough allowed the team at Halflants + Pichette to align their designs with actual field conditions. With the layers of previous renovations removed, the buildings revealed vital structural details, from original window openings to hidden building systems that directly influence future architectural and engineering strategies. 

This integrated approach ensures that no structural nuance is overlooked and that each building is restored with precision and historical integrity.
