Renew / Reuse Virtual Summit

ABOUT RENEW REUSE

Over the last two decades, cities across North America have undergone something of a renaissance, reversing years of demographic and commercial decline in the process. There is an unlikely, but potent source behind this renewal: underutilized and abandoned historic structures. Because these extant buildings require upgrades to mitigate thermal bridging, outdated mechanical systems, and repair decayed facades, their revitalization presents an opportunity for the AEC industry writ large. Moreover, environmental concerns will only continue to push preservation and re-use at the forefront of practice. Renew Reuse: Virtual Summit will foreground exemplary projects; identify best-case practices for their completion; and spotlight emerging technologies within this exciting field.
