The decision to renovate or build new can have long-term consequences for institutions. Renovation might be less expensive, faster, or involve historic or sentimental buildings. However, existing space may also be inefficient, outdated and unable to serve current teaching methods without compromises. This session, presented at EDspaces 2017 in Kansas City, explores factors to be considered when making the decision to keep, extensively modify, or demolish and build new, using examples from both the K-12 public school and university levels.
Presenters Sanjay Kadu, AIA and Dan Kemme, AIA, LEED AP - architects and principals at Dekker/Perich/Sabatini - share best practices that can be generally applied to renovation and adaptive reuse projects.
2. Understand the factors relating to renovation of existing structures through
lessons learned from actual projects.
Learn strategies for determining when to renovate and when to build new
based on budgetary goals and desired learning outcomes.
Understand planning and design strategies for maintaining budgets and
schedules during complex makeover projects based on strategies used on the
presented case studies.
Learn potential pitfalls to be aware of when executing building and site
renovations through an analysis of completed campus revitalization projects.
