Pre-Design Services: Condition Assessment and Treatment Plan for Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center

STRATA Architecture + Preservation. 2022. Pre-Design Services: Condition Assessment and Treatment Plan for Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center. Historic Structure Report. National Park Service

This Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center Pre-Design Condition Assessment and Treatment Plan Report was assembled to update the conditions assessments and treatment recommendations from the previous 2009 Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center Historic Structure Report (HSR). This report documents the Pre-Design efforts of the Design Team to inform the upcoming Schematic Design scope of services and the anticipated scope and costs for the future rehabilitation of the Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center (Libbey Memorial PMC) and site. The primary focus of this report is to define facility improvements required to prepare the Libbey Memorial PMC for future use. During the pre-design study, the future adaptive use was determined for Libbey to be a Multi-Park Museum Storage Facility. This overall adaptive use project would include the rehabilitation of the site and shell of the building, restoration of primary historic interior spaces and features, installation of new electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, address accessibility, and include the rehabilitation of the remaining spaces to prepare the building for occupation as a Multi-Park Museum Storage Facility. The period of significance for the Libbey Memorial PMC is from 1922 to 1958, with the recommended period of interpretation being from 1922 to 1943, as outlined in the 2009 HSR. This period of interpretation begins with construction and represents the period of operation as the Government Free Bathhouse and Clinic, before public use began to sharply decline.
