The Brafferton.College of William and Mary

Williamsburg, Virginia

GWWO first worked with the College of William and Mary to provide a feasibility study, and then completed design for the restoration and renovations of the Brafferton, the second oldest existing collegiate building in the country, and neighboring Brafferton Kitchen. Both structures are located in the historic core of the college campus. The Brafferton, originally constructed in 1723, underwent its last major renovation in 1932 and currently serves as the offices of the President and Provost of the College. The design includes the preservation/rehabilitation of exterior materials and finishes on both the Brafferton and Brafferton Kitchen. On the interior of the Brafferton, spatial reconfigurations on the basement level and third level will help the building meet current program requirements. The first and second levels will remain as restored in 1932, historically representing what (substantially) existed in 1723.

The Brafferton Kitchen will be made fully accessible, including accessible toilet facilities, so the building can be used as an alternative office and meeting location. The project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2013.
