PHASE 2: BEGINNING
ANNEX DEMOLITION

(click on the image to view a larger version)


The Annex is currently closed and condemned due to its unlivable condition. The St Anthony Association is now moving forward with plans to demolish the Annex property in back of the Main house. As of Spring, 2008, the alumni association has hired a project manager to handle asbestos assessment and abatemet (necessary prior to demolition of the structure) and will be meeting with the Chapel Hill Historic District Committee to discuss fundraising plans to build a new Annex.

The previous flat-roofed design has led to the building's untimely deterioration through extensive and ongoing water damage.



Our plan is to demolish the structure and build new construction to ensure current code compliance, a more workable floor plan and a longer life, including the reconfiguration of the entire roof structure. For this purpose a local architect, JP Reuer, was hired in February 2004 and is currently working with the Building Committee in the design development phase.

Building entries and floor plans are being reconsidered, especially bathroom facilities, with a goal to maximize rentable space while affording storage and more privacy.
We are planning to demolish and, in all likelihood, maintain its footprint while building to current building and fire codes required by both the town of Chapel Hill and the University.

COMPLETE REPLACEMENT of:

plumbing systems
electrical systems
entire roof structure
flooring and walls
all interior finishes and fixtures
heating, venting and air conditioning
everything!
