All historic photographs and architectural drawings of the Armory were discovered and shared with the architects in order that they'd better understand the building's development. That goal was achieved. We made reference again and again to the drawings, in particular, as the structural repair to the attic floor was required.
We will soon be sharing the Condition Assessment report with the relevant staff and board members including our facility committee who has been reviewing drafts along the way. The goal will be achieved and hopefully exceeded as the committee and staff make careful use of knowledge gained and recommendations made in the report.
Other goals and measurable outcomes are yet to be realized. Our hope is that the HVAC planning will continue with funding for a design phase funded by the large Legacy grant round in 2022. And, when that is completed, we hope to have those plans implemented and new systems constructed to achieve our long term goals which the preservation of the Armory and the historic collections which is houses.
