Universal Preservation Hall

The building was built in 1871 and in 1976 the building was sold to Universal Baptist Church, but it slowly fell apart and had to be condemned. The community members could not bear to see the building be demolished, so they dedicated their time to repairing this historical building. Finally in 2015 the Universal Preservation Hall became a part of Proctors Collaborative. The mission of this historical building was to give back to the community through arts, education, sustainable economic development, and rich civic engagement.

RAN Fire Protection Engineering performed fire protection engineering services for the proposed 31,500 square foot building renovation of Universal Preservation Hall at 25 Washington St, Saratoga Springs, NY. The scope of services included both sprinkler and fire alarm design for the proposed building, as well as construction administration. These services provided by RAN helped preserve the building that the community fought so hard to safe.
