DRAW Collective worked with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to design a new office building and Union Hall for Local Union 712.
The one-story structure is designed to highlight the building infrastructure and allow users to see how a building is constructed. The electrical room is located in the main lobby with windows on all sides to display the electrical system, adding another educational element for users to engage with. Sustainable building systems were also a key component and incorporated in the building through a geothermal well system, Photovoltaic (PV) solar array elevated above parking, and multiple Electrical Vehicle charging stations.
The (IBEW) Local 712 has more than 450 professionally-trained electricians serving over 40 contractors in Beaver, Lawrence, Mercer, and Crawford Counties.
