Architectural Review Commission

DIG LLC wants to renovate the former church at 72700 Fred Waring Drive into a modern medical office, adding imaging equipment and expanding square footage by enclosing outdoor patios. Commissioners love the creative reuse of the Richard Harrison-designed building but want the applicant to refine the exterior details and entryway to better match the original architecture.
