Athens Building Corporation is excited to return to the Charlottesville area! Athens is set to replace the worn or damaged exterior elements of the Transit Station situated in the Downtown Mall. This Downtown Transit Station acts as a vital “transfer point and gateway to the city.” Since the station was built, the revitalization of the east end of the downtown has flourished. It is situated directly across from City Hall and at the terminus of the downtown mall. Keeping the Jeffersonian historical context in mind, Athens is excited to restore the station to its original splendor.

Our team is making progress! We have commenced the removal of the trellis rafters and successfully cleaned one test cooper panel. Following the removal of all the rafters, we have also begun notching the new ones. The cooper panel was approved and deemed satisfactory.

This month, we have successfully installed all trellis rafters. Our next steps include removing the caulking from the stair tread and initiating the power washing of the building. It is imperative that we implement environmental measures throughout this process.
