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.

DESIGN OPTIONS

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.
