This course will explore technically sound, sustainable rehabilitation, and adaptive use approaches that support the cost-effective reuse of historic buildings through three case studies:

• Stabilization, adaptive use, and seismic retrofit strategies for National Historic Landmarks in lower risk zones. 
  Speakers: Nathan Hicks and Chris Ruiz
  
  

• Adaptive use, expansion, and integration of the Dallas Records complex. 
  Speakers: Jeffrey Kobes and Felicia Santiago
  
  

• Here comes the sun: successful daylighting strategies for deep floorplates and additions.
  Speaker:Jean Carroon

Learning Objectives

• Describe seismic retrofitting alternatives for protecting highly significant historic buildings while minimizing damage to sensitive interior spaces. 

• Identify approaches for improving daylighting in large buildings with deep floor plates. 

• Demonstrate new and old technologies for improving buildings during renovations, with suggestions for achieving an optimal quality of light and even using light as an organizing feature.

• Explore various challenges and opportunities when adaptively reusing a complex of existing buildings for improved efficiency, security, and accessibility.
