Story

The City of Royal Oak hired JTAI to replace their aging and undersized concession stand and add new public restrooms at Memorial Park. This popular park is home to a variety of youth and adult outdoor sport activities. The solution for the project was to place the two buildings along the main pedestrian access route in such a manner so as to create an open-air food court between the structures. Masonry bearing walls supporting low-sloped metal roof panels were selected for their durability and maintenance-free characteristics. Glass block and vinyl fence rails were used to add texture and interest to the simple masonry forms. Due to budgetary considerations only the public restrooms were constructed.
