OVERVIEW: The Spiegel Community Center is housed in a historic building in the village of Pittsford. The community center had outgrown the existing building and after several years of research and planning, it was decided that the existing historic building would be preserved and added onto.
CHALLENGE: The large addition required the excavation for the new foundation to go deeper than the existing foundations which border the addition on two sides. This required that a system be put in place to not only stabilize the existing building but ensure to ensure the existing foundations were not undermined by the excavation. In addition, any excessive vibrations would cause damage to the historic building.
