“One of the things I’m most proud of, is that not only are the new windows a perfect historical match, but they are code-upgraded to meet wind resistance for structural impact.” — Jason Gregorie, structural engineer, Applied Building Sciences

Overview
Window fabrication could not begin without the Board’s approval, a back-and-forth process between engineer Jason Gregorie and the city architect, which ran over an entire year. However, a conflict between the window design team and the city’s review board further held up the project’s timeline. Whereas the Architectural Review Board looked primarily for historical preservation, the design team prioritized the structural integrity of the windows.
