What:  Join us at the new Rice Fergus Miller office in Bremerton for an adventure in cutting-edge building design and efficiency! Technology advances on many fronts – and the construction industry is no exception. Rice Fergus Miller completely renovated the former Sears Automotive Center, a 1948 building that was vacant for 23 years, for its new office and studio. The space is a laboratory for innovative design and experimentation, combining sustainable energy and water use features with the recycling of an abandoned and forgotten downtown building shell. Its Leed® (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Platinum building will be the first of its kind on the Olympic Peninsula and the most energy efficient office building in the Puget Sound region by a factor of two. Panelists ————- Monica Blackwood – Principal in Rice Fergus Miller adn Director of Administration Steve Rice, Senior Principal with Rice Fergus Miller (also the building owner) Jeremy Southerland, Senior Associate and project designer Greg Belding, Principal and Ed McManamna, Senior Associate, were also instrumental in the project Dan Ryan – President of Tim Ryan Construction – performed the construction/remodel.
