Renovation

As part of this master planning, renovation, and addition project, Schooley Caldwell repurposed existing service spaces on the ground floor of the Mansion to serve the community as multipurpose program areas. These spaces are designed to be flexible enough to accommodate recreation department classes, summer camp activities, public gatherings, event rentals, lectures, and similar community-focused uses. Other ground-floor programs include storage, restrooms, mechanical space, a servery, and related functions.

The renovation covers approximately 5,800 SF of the existing ground floor and adds another 3,860 SF of expansion. Large multipurpose spaces occupy the former maintenance garage and the adjacent service court. Work on floors beyond the ground floor is limited to creating a new stairway connection between the first and ground floors, establishing a new elevator connection serving all floors, and adding an additional office on the third floor.

New finishes and lighting are featured throughout the ground floor to complement the character of Jeffrey Mansion while maintaining the flexibility needed for a wide range of community functions. Existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are modified and integrated sensitively to support the updated layout. The project also incorporates audio and video capabilities in the large multipurpose spaces.
