Higley served as Construction Manager for the Phase II restaurant (Pura Vida) renovation, adjacent to Cuyahoga Community College’s Hospitality Management School. This $1.5 Million, 4,000 SF renovation included recycled wood for the bar’s ceiling and wall, a viewing area of the kitchen, connected to the Tri-C Culinary Arts School, and a hoist where students view meat utilized in the restaurant food production. The restaurant’s design transitions from breakfast to dinner to reflect the different audiences it will serve. Pura Vida specializes in incorporating locally produced ingredients in the cuisine.
Phase I (Hospitality Management Center) included a $5.5 Million, 25,000 SF renovation on the first floor of the former May Company department store.
