You may have read about the revamped Wonder Building in downtown Spokane, Washington.
According to a recent article, “,,,nearing completion of a $15-million restoration and expansion of the historic Wonder Bread Bakery at 821 West Mallon in Spokane, WA. Formally known as the Spokane-Continental Bakery, the early 1900s-era building is in the final stage of a transformation into Wonder Spokane, a roughly 112,000-square-foot creative office building.”
Here is a video of RainBank’s inside look at the water detention tanks we’re installing in this historic building, expected to open to the public this summer as a 12,000-square-foot retail market, offering food and artisanal products, onsite parking and a dramatic rooftop deck overlooking downtown and Riverfront Park.
The four 6,500 gallon, dome roofed tanks will capture stormwater coming off of the roof and will be infiltrated onsite.
