The Bevier Memorial Building | Fall 2013
Adaptive Reuse
The Bevier Memorial Building, built in 1908 by architect Claude Bradon, became the location for Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Applied Art in 1911. The project will help to encourage sustainability amongst the community as they reap the environmental, social and economic benefits of adaptive reuse.
Concept
This boutique hotel and café will eat and breathe the heritage of Rochester while embracing the future of the city. Invested in promoting interaction and embodying the spirit of the surrounding community, visitors as well as locals will use the space to congregate, socialize, work or wind down. The historic building envelope will open to reveal a modern interior, integrating contrasting elements together to enhance the user’s creative and physical experience.
