| summary |
The design problem called for a mixed-use facility housing a bookstore, a secure telecommunications relay facility with training and conference areas, and a private employee fitness center. The site is at the end of the main street in Norton just off the main highway, and is where a four-story hotel project was abandoned twenty years prior. The structural steel frame for the hotel was erected and construction halted at this stage, leaving the skeletal frame and an empty lot at the end of the axis of the main street in Norton. Norton began as a coalmining town but has recently gained attention as a telecommunications hub after a national telecommunications firm located their TDD headquarters in Norton, making use of the fiber optic lines available in the area. |
