DRAW Collective worked with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to design a new office building and Union Hall for Local Union 712. The union has more than 450 professionally-trained electricians serving over 40 contractors in Beaver, Lawrence, Mercer, and Crawford Counties.
The new office building and union hall for Local Union 712 is located within a residential area of downtown Beaver and replaced the prior, dated union hall. The structure was designed to highlight the building infrastructure and allow users to see how a building is constructed. The electrical room is located in the main lobby with windows on all sides to display the electrical system, adding an educational element for building users to engage with.
