Deep Energy All-Electric Retrofit

Farr Associates worked with the District to master plan the redevelopment of a former private golf course into a new forest preserve site to include new, publicly-accessible outdoor programming (disc golf, archery, sledding, nature trails, etc). The former golf course clubhouse and restaurant were converted into a welcoming & wayfinding center.

Due to existing structural conditions, the existing clubhouse was partially demolished and partially renovated. The remaining portion houses new public restrooms, a multi-use space, and new high-performance MEP equipment for the building. A new addition houses additional multi-use programming for educational and social events. Finally, grant funding was used to install geothermal and PV systems on-site to serve as a demonstration for future District projects.
