As the General Contractor, Avant is proud to have played a pivotal role in the renovation of the Delores Barr Weaver Campus of Hope for ReThreaded Inc. This $2 million, 36,000 SF campus serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for survivors of human trafficking. The renovation transformed an abandoned warehouse into a multi-functional facility that houses job training in retail, logistics, business, sewing, warehouse management, and toffee production. Working closely with Group 4 Design Inc., our team incorporated a mix of homey and industrial finishes, restoring the building’s steel framing, integrating recycled wood shiplap, and utilizing new drywall and wood finishes. The second phase of the project was to renovate an industrial kitchen for a Candy Factory, which officially opened its doors in August of 2024.
