| The design team wanted to depart significantly from the original building design while incorporating it into the flow of the new building. This was accomplished by creating a new main entrance that faced the street (the original faced perpendicularly to the street). From the reception area, visitors and employees can elect to enter the new rooms or the existing administration building. The new structure literally engages the old to create a new massing arrangement without leaving the original structure looking obsolete. To acknowledge the history of the Forest Service, natural materials were used wherever possible --all the while keeping lines clean and unadulterated: exposed gluelam beams, river rock walls, indigenous plant materials and green building materials wherever possible. |
