vaged and incorporated into the design. New roofing, plumbing, electrical, acoustical ceiling, air conditioning and ventilation brought the building to current energy-rated standards. Natural light flows into the space with the addition of windows, solar tubes and skylights in each room. The removal of dividing walls created openness and harmony between the new commercial kitchen and the new expanded learning center. A new common area created a covered open space to allow larger gatherings and events. This remodeling project represents the Easter Seals’ philosophy to work with existing conditions and improve upon them.
