CITATION AWARD / ADAPTIVE REUSE

Central Energy

Built in 1981 to provide heating and cooling to the entire South Carolina Department of Mental Health campus, Central Energy is a historic 181-acre property.

Central Energy
DESCRIPTION

Located on a remote corner of the site, the existing 12,731 sf Central Energy building was constructed of brick and concrete block exterior walls with a heavy interior steel structure. The overgrown vegetation underscored the building’s historic position: it was a purely functional, utilitarian structure strategically positioned to be out of sight and out of mind. Design for the building’s adaptive reuse includes a large open worship/venue space, with a mezzanine added to house the second level of additional program.
