Abstract

The Jazzy building is located at 619-621 Market Street in Chattanooga, TN in the City Center downtown area. Both the interior and exterior of the building show signs of being vacant for a long period. The Jazzy building has significant historical value, especially the east and west facades that feature various ornamentations and details that testify to its significance. Although the building's interior has been severely damaged, it is still possible to salvage and reuse some of the materials. To determine the appropriate use of the Jazzy building, a market analysis of downtown Chattanooga research was referenced, along with a survey by the UTC (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) interior design students from the class of 2024. The building's interior space and design must comply with the current building codes. Finally, the renovation materials and finishes must meet some of the LEED and Well Credits standards, which focus on sustainable designs that enhance human health and experience.
