5 Rabbit Brewery Renovation

dmadel — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:12:51 +0000

Working on a tight budget, 5 Rabbit needed to find a building that had as much of the existing required infrastructure already in place in which to begin brewing. Clear span heights tall enough for the planned tanks was important. So was finding a building with an adequate existing electrical service. An existing shipping and receiving area would facilitate movement of product in and out. DMA assisted in that evaluation process and then provide architectural and engineering services for the space build out which was completed in under 3 months.

DMA Architects worked initially with Living Word Christian Center to design the exterior and main lobby of their new 3000 person auditorium building. The 1940’s structure was originally a torpedo factory, later converted to an enclosed mall and multiplex. Living Word added new life as a church/ conference/ educational center.

Other projects in the 280,000 square foot building included new classroom, meeting, and office spaces; an off site school renovation; a new office suite and garage for the lead pastor; an educational and training center; and a future campus plan for a proposed 60 acre site.
