Breathing new life into old buildings is one of the most sustainable available campus strategies and offers benefits beyond carbon reduction. Renovation and adaptive reuse support a triple bottom line of environmental, financial, and social wellbeing. This session will explore renovation at Trinity University from campus, design, and building perspectives, outlining strategies for enhancing the character and performance of buildings, districts, and the campus. Join us to gain a multi-dimensional understanding of the risks and rewards of renovation and adaptive reuse to help strategically guide comprehensive environmental, financial, and campus planning efforts for colleges and universities.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify the ways in which renovations and adaptive reuse support a triple bottom line of environmental, financial, and campus stewardship.
  2. Explain how renovations and adaptive reuse can help reduce carbon emissions for a healthier environment by extending the life of buildings while preserving collegiate identity and minimizing disruption.
  3. Measure the return on investment of renovations by assessing its risks and rewards from campus, design, and building perspectives.
  4. Recommend campus planning strategies that maximize the benefits of renovations to enhance the character and performance of buildings as well as impact on student wellbeing.
