The Summer of 2015 is bringing about\u00a0the most major renovation to the House\u00a0since\u00a0Theta\u00a0moved in almost 40 years ago.\u00a0 The past ten years have\u00a0seen work every summer:\u00a0 air conditioning in\u00a0the\u00a0entire house (before 2005, there was no AC in the house including the bedrooms!), repairing and upgrading the bathrooms, painting the entire house inside and out, refinishing all hardwood floors,\u00a0moving the laundry room\u00a0to the basement,\u00a0basement renovation,\u00a0new tvs, furniture, internet access, security system and many\u00a0expensive repairs that are not seen (new roof, new plumbing\u00a0and pipe excavation, needed porch supports) along with the fencing and major landscaping.\u00a0 However, the project we have been saving money\u00a0for is a complete kitchen and first floor bathroom renovation.<\/p>\n

The Facility Corporation\u00a0Board worked with the Gaines Group Architects\u00a0beginning last summer and after a bid process selected Artisan Construction Inc. for the job.\u00a0 They began demolition on Monday, May 18 and the project is well underway.\u00a0 The entire\u00a0area was gutted and has been totally redesigned.\u00a0\u00a0A new feature is\u00a0creating a Chapter resident’s pantry kitchen which will be open 24-7 and\u00a0bring\u00a0the coffee makers, refrigerators, ice makers, etc.\u00a0out of the back hall.\u00a0 The\u00a0back hall will be less cluttered, more attractive, and easier to maneuver.<\/p>\n

The new kitchen will have a permanent\u00a0chilled salad bar and a separate hot food station,\u00a0both open to the resident’s pantry from the kitchen.\u00a0 In the back hall, a pass through will be used for dishes to the dishwashing area of the kitchen.\u00a0 We are keeping our commercial gas stove\u00a0and the new refrigerator\/freezer, but will\u00a0be replacing\u00a0everything else from soup to\u00a0nuts …. or from cabinets and countertops to floors and stainless\u00a0prep stations.\u00a0 Not only will all this be an improvement for the Chapter for meals but should be much more efficient and usable for Campus Cooks and the chefs.<\/p>\n

The renovation also\u00a0moves the first floor bathroom and makes it compliant with all handicapped accessible standards.\u00a0 All this had to be accomplished within our existing footprint and square footage within the building because of lot and space constraints in a historic district.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait for you all to return\u00a0in August\u00a0with a new and improved\u00a0first floor.<\/p>\n
