Fedora Social House to add new sidewalk cafe

Location - 300 Park Central East, Springfield, MO 65806

JBAPC’s cooperative efforts with the City of Springfield have resulted in the removal of the pesky light-post that was inhibiting the development of Fedora’s new sidewalk café. Approximately 275 sq. ft. of sidewalk cafe space is being added to the facade of Fedora Social House. The new sidewalk cafe will comfortably accommodate 20 diners beginning early next month. Drop by and check it out!

Ryan Faust

27, Project coordinator, Jack Ball Associates Architects

His item: His bicycle. He’s an avid rider and… hey, it’s green not to drive.

Ryan Faust is a member of a new generation of architects that doesn’t see green building as a new thing— they see it as the thing. The LEED AP-accredited professional has worked on a number of big local projects, most notably the new Springfield R-12 Hickory Hills school, as well as green schools in Rogersville, Clinton and Republic.

Ryan is the go-to sustainability guy at Jack Ball’s Springfield offices, providing input at every step, from drawing board to ribbon-cutting. “I think the best thing is we’re a small firm, so I’m allowed to be exposed to everything… where others get pigeonholed into doing a certain thing.”

Outside work, Ryan is an avid cyclist, helping lead a local bike club, the Pedal Group. He’s also the director of the local Young Architects Forum and rides on Jack Ball’s annual MS 150 team, “Hell’s Angles”.

The last movie he saw: Role Models

Embarrassing song he loves: “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That),” Meat Loaf

Go-to restaurant: MudHouse

Beverage of choice: Gatorade Rain or Crown and Coke

TV show he won’t miss: Man vs. Food

Pet peeve: People who talk on Bluetooth when they don’t need to

Celebrity crush: Kate Beckinsale

First car: ’92 Honda Accord, burgundy

Thing he misses most from childhood: Traveling

Magazine he can be found reading: Men’s Health or National Geographic Adventure

Best advice received: A guy once said to me, ‘Don’t wish your life away.” Try to enjoy what you’re doing.
