21c Museum Hotel
Lexington, KY
Haire was hired by Wehr Construction to add support to the Historic building in downtown Lexington as they converted it to an 88-room boutique hotel, contemporary art museum, cultural center and home to Lockbox restaurant, led by executive chef Jonathan Searle. Haire was hired to add additional support to the old stone foundation as they added additional levels and weight above. Haire produced and engineered solution by “slotting” underneath the building. All work was done below ground underneath the building. Haire had to pump 150 yards of concrete in 30 separate pours to create a new foundation for the building. The project took 3 months and was completed on time.
