Mercy Magnuson Place
No one will ever know how far Mercy Magnuson Place has come... except those of us lucky enough to have suited up in hazmat suits, respirators, and flashlights before the design ever began.
Over the past 30 years, we have worked closely with many design teams at the top of their fields in historic preservation to successfully upgrade buildings of all types. With every renovation, our goal is to improve not only the life safety but also the functionality of an existing building so that it can continue to serve the owners and tenants.
The IL Gross team's thoughtful collaboration and strategic structural engineering work were essential to our success preserving and adapting the very large, dilapidated, former military barracks into new housing together with a childcare center and medical clinic."
