Alcoa’s Badin Conference Center has a fresh new look, thanks to a renovation project nearing completion.
The center, owned by Alcoa, is benefiting from $45,000 in improvements, including restoration of the building’s single-pane windows, fresh paint on the interior, and an exterior pressure wash.
The work was performed by Stokes Construction Co. of Albemarle.
“The Badin Conference Center provides an important service to the community, in addition to supporting Alcoa’s need for meeting space,” said Mark Stiffler, Director of Asset Management for Alcoa. “This project protects this historic building and ensures it will be available for years to come.”
The conference center was built by Alcoa in 1916 and operated as the Badin Hospital. After the Hospital stopped operating, Alcoa utilized the facility for various office and administrative purposes. In 1988, Alcoa spent $288,000 to complete a historically correct renovation to the facility and converted it into a conference center and training facility.
Since that time, various Alcoa, Town of Badin and retiree group meetings have been held there. During the Town of Badin’s Strategic Planning project in 2009, funded by an Alcoa Foundation grant, monthly planning meetings were held in the Badin Conference Center.
Remaining work on the restoration project, expected to be completed in the coming weeks, includes repointing and sealing bricks on the exterior of the building.
