From St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The Engineering Center of St. Louis is getting close to beginning the $3.5 million renovation of its Mid-Century Modern headquarters in the Central West End.
Nicole Young, the center’s president, said Monday work will be underway in about a month. On Friday, the center filed an application for a $1.5 million alteration permit for the center’s building at 4359 Lindell Boulevard.
United Construction is the contractor and Remiger Design is the architect.
Young, owner of Lion CSG, said the center’s members are excited to get the renovation underway. The St. Louis firm of Russell, Mullgardt, Schwarz and Van Hoefen designed the engineers’ one-story building in 1958 although it wasn’t completed until about 1963.
A patio facing Lindell will eventually be enlarged and the building’s entrance will move to the side of the structure from the back, where the existing doorway faces the center’s parking lot. The building’s distinctive roofline will be preserved.
