Historic buildings are vacated for many different reasons and often remain so for years before another occupant or owner comes along. During that time, these buildings may suffer from lack of maintenance, exposure to weather, and sometimes obsolescence. Reusing existing historic buildings is almost always a viable option, and a successful renovation can result in an appropriate and sustainable reoccupation of the building. During the discussion, we will explore two case studies – the 1867 Sanctuary and Rutgers University Newark Alumni Center – that demonstrate the value of reusing existing buildings and to discuss how they were transitioned from vacant to thriving in a relatively brief amount of time.
