3. RECONSTRUCTION
At last! The Studio and Gallery Begin to Emerge! (October-November 2018)
The studio expansion to the former Repair Shop begins to define the future Design Shop for LWSI. A series of large ‘garage door’ openings will provide a light-filled work environment. The former Showroom and miscellaneous office spaces have been opened up to create a flowing open space incorporating a conference room, gallery/pop up social space, restrooms, and secondary lounge areas. The new, leveling concrete floors provide 100% accessibility throughout the building. Of course, all of the mechanical, electrical, communications, fire and plumbing systems are being completely modernized.
