Raymond was commissioned to conduct a comprehensive Property Condition Assessment of the Julius I. Foust Building, UNC Greensboro’s oldest campus structure (built 1892). The University aimed to modernize the building for office use while preserving its National Register of Historic Places status. Our assessment provided a detailed restoration plan.

Raymond’s assessment, compliant with ASTM E1557 and ASTM E2018, identified the top five repair priorities and other necessary measures for restoration. We also explored the feasibility of installing an elevator and creating banquet space in the attic. Site visits revealed urgent needs for mechanical, plumbing, and accessibility improvements, while exterior restoration, including brickwork and windows, was deemed essential.
