Dancing Goat Distillery Addition
Cambridge
Partner: Sketchworks Architecture LLC
Size:19,400
This project expands Dancing Goat by 17,000 square feet. Just under half of the expansion is H-3 Div 1 explosion-proof space, increasing the capacity for the distillery’s processes of distillation to barreling. Ideal also renovated existing space and added a 2,400 square foot mezzanine constructed around cookers, fermenters, and other equipment tanks. This required coordination with MEPs to re-route the process piping and electrical efficiently to the various tanks with minimal interruption to operations. At completion, this increased current production by 15x equates to upwards of 130 barrels of whiskey per week. A five-story wood-framed rickhouse was built concurrently nearby for storage and aging of the barrels.
