Morrill Bank Historic Adaptive Re-Use
Kent, WA
VIA Architecture led the ‘Re-imagine the Morrill Bank Building’ design charrette to engage local stakeholder as the ‘brain trust’ of the community to discuss how to bring ideas to fruition for the adaptive reuse of the 1906 Morrill Bank Building. On behalf of the City of Kent, WA, the Kent Downtown Partnership and tenants of the building, our team designed a full-day charrette to focus efforts on new uses and synergies, work together to prioritize ideas, and discuss how to bring ideas to fruition. The project included these relevant components: Urban design; Planning for public, public-private and community uses; Development feasibility and financing analysis/approaches; and Historic preservation and reuse.
