  • 1.  Office to Housing Adaptive Reuse Survey

    Posted 22 days ago

    There is a growing interest in converting underused commercial buildings to residential use nationwide. The International Existing Building Code (IEBC) is designed for adaptive reuse projects, but the challenges are complex and diverse. In June 2024, the International Code Council formed an Adaptive Reuse Working Group to consider how the IEBC might better support office-to-residential conversions. The survey linked below has been designed to provide input to these efforts from design professionals and other subject matter experts. 

    We hope you can take about 15 minutes to give your input, and then share this survey link with colleagues and cohorts active in this emerging project area. You can also opt-in to see the anonymized results and/or get updates and other opportunities to participate.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration.

    As a professor at the Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Miami I have a seminar this semester on this subject. I am looking for examples that have worked as so many of the projects around the states stop because of financing, complications with local authorities on zoning and other code problems, and the deep floor plates of most major city office buildings. 
    Any one who can give me examples I would really appreciate it.
