2RW provided mechanical and plumbing engineering for the Craddock Terry Hotel and Event Center, a project that transformed a historic industrial building listed on the US National Register of Historic Places into a boutique hotel and event venue with guest rooms, suites, dining spaces, and brewery operations. The mechanical design delivers efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation across varied program areas while preserving the building’s architectural character.

Project Goals

The Craddock Terry Hotel and Event Center at Virginia Tech revitalizes a historic structure by transforming it into a mixed use facility that blends hospitality, event spaces, and community functions. Key goals included preserving the architectural character of the original building while integrating modern systems that provide comfortable and reliable conditions for guests, events, and daily operations.

Services

2RW provided mechanical and plumbing engineering services for the renovation and expansion of the hotel and event center. Our work included designing efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation systems suited to a mix of guestrooms, suites, dining venues, and large gathering spaces. Mechanical solutions were coordinated carefully with historic preservation requirements, architectural planning, and kitchen and brewery program needs to ensure reliable environmental control across varied occupancy types. The design supports year-round comfort, meets code and ventilation requirements, and provides modern performance within a constrained historic structure.
