Renovation of the showroom and facade, enlargement of the body shop and creation of a customer service area to improve drop off and pick up of the customers vehicle. The structures were constructed with metal deck roofing over bar joists and structural steel. The new construction was erected to maintain a separate lateral system from the existing construction.
