The Laundry at Bullstreet

Columbia, South Carolina

Studio 2LR is working with Avant Holdings to renovate the historic 15,7000 SF two-story brick building located in the heart of The Bullstreet District. The two-story structure was originally completed circa 1883 and served as the central laundry facility for the former South Carolina State Hospital. Some of the original window and door openings had been filled-in over the years and will be re-opened and replaced with new windows informed by old photographs of the original windows. Renovations to the existing roof structure include a new standing-seam galvanized metal skin over a repaired roof deck. The original roof also features three large skylights, four clerestory vents, and a central cupola. The skylights will be re-constructed while new clerestory windows are designed to replace the original vent locations for additional natural light. Repairs to the central cupola will also feature new window openings to showcase the existing vent fan and will serve as a beacon along central axis of the building. Interior improvements include several structural repairs, cleaning, removal of old equipment, and demolition of several infill walls to make way for future tenants.

 

The initial phase of the mixed-use development will feature an event venue, green space, and opportunities for future restaurants, retail and/or creative offices. Find out more details here:
