Adaptive Reuse in the Old Dominion (and Beyond)

This webinar has already occurred. See below to watch the recording.

What happens when a building or space outlives its purpose? Adaptive reuse refers to the process of converting a part of the built environment into something different than what it was originally designed. In this webinar, panelists will explore the many benefits, as well as challenges, of adaptive reuse in the Commonwealth of Virginia and elsewhere.
