- Understand how seismic, mechanical, electrical, and technology systems seamlessly integrates into a 100 year old facility while maintaining the original character of the building.
- Learn how the design of a renovated historic facility achieves a near 70% energy reduction (pEUI of 24.5 kBTU/sf/yr).
- Explore how site master planning allows for future construction phases and greater overall density on a 2.45 acre urban site.
