Reinventing the Past: Adaptive Reuse Challenges and Successes
June 19, 2018 |
Successful adaptive reuse projects rely on factors not typically found in other historic preservation projects including flexibility, creativity, patience, and cooperation. Such projects are also significantly more challenging than new construction. As an architect, planner, engineer, or developer you must have a full understanding of the requirements triggered by a change in use, including the upgrades that may be exempt under the California Historical Building Code. For consultants and architectural historians, adaptive reuse may also impact the approval of rehabilitation tax credits or Mills Act contracts. Despite these challenges, a properly executed adaptive reuse project can result in a win-win for all stakeholders and become a critical economic development catalyst for cities. This workshop will look at leading case examples in adaptive reuse to illustrate the various challenges that architects, engineers, planners, and consultants face prior to embarking on a project.
