Howard CDM completed the adaptive re-use of the 37,000 SF old Pasadena Star newspaper building in the Playhouse District. New upgraded electrical service had to be routed through the neighboring LA Fitness to create a fully operational kitchen with grease trap and restaurant for students to operate.
The scope of work also included the build-out of the remaining four floors of the building to a marketplace restaurant, a retail “Cookstore,” a chocolate confectionery lab on the first floor and new classrooms and administrative offices in the upper floors.
