Case Studies
The following four case studies
describe ways in which institutional
properties were reused, redeveloped,
and reutilized for a new purpose. The
projects include two churches, a school,
and a firehouse, each of a different
style and size and located within
different neighborhoods. Each case
study describes the existing institutional
property attributes, unique planning and
design challenges, and benefits of the
adaptive reuse project.
To restore a building is not to repair it, nor
to do maintenance or to rebuild, it is to
reestablish it in an ultimate state that never
existed before.
– Eugène Viollet-le-Duc
