Built in 1884, the Central School building in
Kalispell, MT has served the community faithfully
for 118+ years. After many years of hard use,
and nearly
10 years of vacancy, the building was in need
of significant restoration, both architecturally
and structurally. Beaudette Consulting Engineers
teamed together with James R. McDonald Architects
(now A&E Architects) et. al. to renovate
and restore the original building and to produce
"A Museum for the 21st Century". The
original brick building with wood floors was upgraded
to support increased floor loading from public
gatherings in the museum. In addition, the unreinforced
masonry walls were reinforced with seismic steel
frames to ensure the safety of visitors and staff
in the case of a seismic event. |
