well-being and educational resources.

1868 Built in 1868, the Horse Barn is the oldest wooden structure on the University of WisconsinMadison campus.

1899 Originally named the "Farm Barn", the name was changed when the barn's purpose went from housing livestock to field-working draft horses during the 1899 renovation.

Refocus, and a variety of spaces for Retreat.

1935 At some point before WW II, the picturesque towers and dormers were removed and power ventilation was installed.

1995 The original slate roof was replaced with asphalt shingles in 1995.

2022 A new student wellness center will occupy the Horse Barn in the near future, providing for the campus's need to Repurpose, Refocus, and Retreat.

CASE STUDIES SEPTEMBER CAFÉ Designer: Ben Decor Location: Vietnam About the Project: Ben Decor took two homes in Vietnam and turned the space into a café. This multi-level café plays with curvilinear shapes and the negative space of the structure while adaptively reusing the building in the process.

Design Goals: To change the occupancy of the structure from homes to a café To utilize the bird nest and circular motifs within the existing structure and add new ones to enhance the concept Enhance the indoor-outdoor feel throughout Results: September Café is a unique, organic, multi-level coffee shop placed in the midst of housing units.

It emphasizes prospect and refuge, biophilia, and vertical connections to create a welcoming, versitile, comfortable, and natural space. https://www.archdaily.com/962869/september-cafe-red5studio-plus-ben-decor

RISD Student Success Center Designer: WORKac Location: Providence, Rhode Island About the Project: Based in a historic, three-story, U-shaped brick structure, this building hosts the campus's mailroom, an auditorium, lounge area, private offices for university employees, flexible privateto-open student spaces, and an all-gender restroom.

Design Goals: To create a playful spirit through the dynamic use of extrusions, subtractions, lines, and curves throughout the interior.

To utilize unique ways to subdivide spaces, including acoustic curtains, circular curves, To create shared areas between offices to provide students with an adequate respite from the bustling campus and a comfortable place to discuss often difficult topics and to connect the historic exterior with the new interior.

Results: The RISD Student Center has become a welcoming place for the campus community to visit during stressful and hectic moments. https://www.archdaily.com/938338/risd-student-success-center-workac

SHREIBER FAMILY PET THERAPY PROGRAM Designers: Blackney Hayes Architects Location: Rowan University - Stratford, New Jersey About the Project: Taking into consideration the surge of stressors that affect student health and well-being, Rowan University officially brought to life a pet therapy program available to students and surrounding communities in 2019.

Design Goals: To establish a program that provides a variety of Animal- Assisted Activities, open to the campus and surrounding community to support student health and well-being To create partnerships with and represent those who are otherwise underrepresented on campus Results: Six certified therapy dogs are stationed at the center five days a week to support students in need and assist in mental-health efforts. Studies have also shown that spending time with animals can lower blood pressure, lessen depression and anxiety, decrease feelings of isolation, and encourage communication, as well as produce feelings of relaxation. https://www.blackneyhayes.com/index.php/news/shreiber-pet-therapy-center-rowan-university https://sites.rowan.edu/wellness/pettherapy/about-us.html

Mill City Museum Designer: Meyer, Scherer, and Rockcastle (MSR) Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota About the Project: This was an adaptive reuse project that aimed to turn an old flour mill into a museum. The original flour mill was built in 1874 and was partially destroyed by a flour dust explosion that claimed 18 lives. The building was left abandoned for years, and has now been turned into a museum documenting the history of the building.

Design Goals: Gain more natural light through the addition of skylights and large panels of glass Preserve the history of the building by incorporating the original ruins into the new structure Showcase the history of Minneapolis and how the city was affected by the milling industry Results: The Mill City Museum has become a popular museum showcasing a part of Minneapolis's history and a beautiful place to host events. https://www.wwglass.com/blog/post/mill-city-museum-restores-history-ashes/
