The applicant is removing the existing (non-original) partition walls under a Minor Works COA.  The original wood flooring will be left exposed in some common areas.  Carpet will be installed in the remainder of the space.   The proposed Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness shows that all office walls will be partial-height (9 ‘) with a ceiling.  Walls in the conference, work, server and break rooms will extend to the roof deck.  The front wall of the large conference room will slope away from the clerestory and will not obstruct the clerestory windows.

Suite 201

Changes to this space are minimal and involve three new office and work room spaces, and new door locations on three existing (non original) partition walls.

      Mr. Gray and Dr. Morrill showed and explained proposed plans to the Committee.  Mr. Lineberry, the architect for the proposed plans, answered questions.  On portions of the floors, a leveling compound will be used over the old wood floor, and padding and carpeting will be placed on top of this.  Mr. Lineberry said the leveling compound can be removed, along with the carpet pad and carpet, if so desired, at any point in the future.  HLC Staff supports the project as presented.

 

MR. PURSLEY PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. HOBBS TO RECOMMEND TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BE ISSUED FOR THE PLANS AS PRESENTED FOR THE PARKS-CRAMER COMPANY BUILDING, 2000 SOUTH BOULEVARD, CHARLOTTE, N.
