Funded mostly by the tobacco settlement, Bread for the City more than doubles their space with an 11,000 sf clinic addition to help them help 2,500 low-income District of Columbia residents per month.  A glassy atrium lightly touches, separates and preserves Bread’s existing previously renovated building - an old lumber warehouse.  Amenities of their new modern building also include a garden roof, efficient systems, natural daylight, oversized door transoms, large waiting rooms, doctor’s quarters, and a sunscreen that blocks the harsh west sun and also recalls the marquee of the Broadway Theater that once occupied the lots.  Among other awards, the project received a 2012 District of Columbia Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation.
