The Atomic Garage building, built in 1949 in the Kerns neighborhood, is a one-story CMU structure, formally Atomic Auto, one of many former service stations commonly built along Sandy Blvd.  This adaptive reuse project demolished the north portion of the existing L-shaped building to make way for a multi-family affordable housing development. The south building infilled a portion of the NW wall to make a rectilinear form. The interior was subdivided into 11 maker-space office tenants of various sizes ranging from 400 to 1900 SF with mezzanines, and each tenant space has at least one existing timber truss visible. Quisa also helped convert the SE corner tenant into a micro-brewery by adding an outdoor deck that takes advantage of the southern exposure, which helps activate the corner with more public activity.
