Project Description:   This project consisted of a remodel and addition.  To secure funding in 2005, RGU assisted the Employment Security Department in completing a State Project Budget Analysis and Facility Needs Assessment.  RGU worked directly with Walla Walla Worksource staff in completing the study and supporting documentation.   In 2007 the project was funded and preparation of the construction documents were completed.  One of the main project objectives was to create a flexible conference room that could be utilized during off hours without access to the main facility.  Additional offices, computer labs, and ADA restrooms were also incorporated into the design.  Special care was taken to preserve the original character of the facility and utilize the existing green trombe wall that increases the energy efficiency of the building.   Construction occurred in phases to minimize disruption of building occupants.
