Participate in the first of two design charrettes to explore the opportunities to redevelop 414 N. Main Street. The property is the former Cook’s Cleaner property located on North Main Street at the intersection of the Alumni Mall on Virginia Tech’s campus.
The town was successful in being selected as one of three projects by the Mayor’s Innovation Project in partnership with AIA.
The charrette will include an orientation to the approximately 4,000 square foot vacant building, history of the property, and environmental remediation efforts. Most importantly we will discuss the opportunities of the building to include the concept of hosting a Small Business Retail Incubator, exhibit and conference space as well as possibilities to host office pace for nonprofits focused on supporting downtown and the cultural and arts efforts.

Presentation and Social
A simple traditional house contains a whole world of details. This unique project provides open-source CAD files and digital models, which you can adapt and customize for your own projects. With a set of architectural drawings placed next to detailed renderings, this work is made to educate and inspire anybody interested in the art of building. Please join us in hearing a presentation by the author and artist behind this bold project.
