Since our last post, we’ve looked through over 200,000 building permits and put together a handful of our favorite picks for cool construction projects happening across the nation. This week we focus on two categories: old buildings turned breweries and sports-related facilities.
BREWERIES
A Historic Granary is Reborn as a Brew Pub
The historic stone mill in Oshkosh, Wisconsin was first constructed in 1883 and since then has seen many reincarnations. It once housed the Granary restaurant, then for a short while was occupied by a night club called Club Element before laying dormant for over 10 years. Thanks in part to city tax incentives, the building will be reborn again into a new brew pub and an office space.

From Milk to Beer: The Transformation of a Dairy Barn
After 50 years of being vacant, the historic Thomasson dairy barn by Innovation Park, VA is being converted into a joint brewery, restaurant, and music venue called Farm Brew Live. The aptly named 2 Silos Brewing Co. (the dairy building has 2 silos), will produce craft beer in small batches. Other amenities include a tasting room, an outdoor music venue called the YARD, and a retail store. The latest building permits detail the installation of a sound stage, and the venue is scheduled to open in the summer of 2017.

SPORTS FACILITIES
The Boston Celtics’ New Practice Facility Moving Forward
After 17 years practicing in Waltham, the Boston Celtics will be moving to a new practice facility at the Boston Landing in Brighton. The latest building permit filed last month has a value of $19.7 million and describes the build-out of levels 5 and 6, including the construction of new practice courts, locker rooms, a hydrotherapy room, cardio and weight rooms, as well as hospitality and office spaces. According to the press release, commuters can expect to see the practice courts- which will be enclosed by 40-foot glass walls- from the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Adidas Village Gets a Mini Makeover
Adidas’s US headquarters, also known as the Adidas Village, is an 11-acre complex in Portland that combines office space with retail stores and athletic facilities. In the spirit of the Olympics, buildings are accented with blue, yellow, black, green, and red colors. The Village has had many small renovations since 2016, but most recently the black building will be undergoing a $4 million remodel to its stadium seating and lower level.
