Goodman Building Renovation and Expansion

In 2018, Collaboration 3, LLC was selected by the City of Bethlehem to redevelop the deteriorating and mold infested Goodman Building. At that time, four of the 13 major wood roof trusses had collapsed onto the third floor and water from the leaking roof and walls had been freely saturating the building interior for some time. The water was also penetrating the adjacent buildings through the common walls. As a result, the majority of the remaining trusses and multiple floor structure areas were badly decayed and in danger of collapse. Exterior masonry walls were bowed out of plane and cracked raising concerns regarding their stability and the safety of adjacent sidewalks and buildings. The building was full of contents including papers, boxes, clothing, equipment, furniture, books and other items. Due to the long-term exposure to moisture and high humidities, essentially all contents including the building walls, floors, and ceilings were covered with mold. BACKGROUND
