The renovation of the Pavilion X interior was a systems upgrade, which included
the replacement of all of the existing electrical and plumbing and the replacement
of radiators and window air conditioners with a new HVAC system.
A new fire suppression system was also installed, along with a fire detection
system.
An unusual feature of this project was the use of sub grade air ducts
below the basement floor, which preserved the roominess of the basement
by eliminating the need for large bulky soffits.
Architectural improvements included a completely upgraded kitchen
and new fixtures in all of the bathrooms. The original balcony and rear
doors were restored by a graining process to their Jeffersonian
faux mahogany appearance. A full staircase to the attic replaced
the existing ladder to facilitate access for storage and
maintenance.
