The design of the Bordino’s Building is a two-story in-fill project filling the entire site from edge to edge.  As you drive down Dickson Street from College Avenue, the round canted glass entry expresses the dynamic nature of the patrons and fare.  The first level is Bordinos, a 6,500 sq. ft. restaurant and bar.  The bar fronting Dickson Street has French doors at one end opening to a small balcony, further connecting the bar to the street allowing live jazz music to escape the space.  Centralized, to control natural light, the dining rooms are primarily lit from the ambient light spilling from light boxes which contain artifacts expressing the past, present and future of the locale to create the dark and romantic atmosphere desired.  An 890 sq. ft. basement level of the original building on the site was preserved for additional storage and wine cellar space, boasting one of the largest wine selections in the state.  The 6,000 sq. ft. second level has private dining/conference areas, suites, and office/lease space  which open to covered balconies that overlook Dickson Street and Campbell Avenue further interjecting life to these streets and downtown area.
