Most research universities carry an inventory of aging, mission-critical science and engineering buildings that no longer serve evolving programs and that hide large, deferred maintenance liabilities. At an upcoming Tradeline conference, Flad leaders will share useful insights from recent space utilization studies.

Drawing on precinct plans and renewal strategies developed for leading institutions, presenters synthesize the patterns that consistently drive successful outcomes. They deliver a streamlined, repeatable framework for assessing building viability; comparing reinvestment versus replacement; creating defensible cases for a full rebuild; and aligning scope, cost, and phasing with long-term research goals. They will provide a proven toolkit for creating condition assessments, decision matrices, and constrained-environment funding strategies.

About Tradeline Facility Renovations and Repurposing Conference >

This conference highlights strategies for capital projects that maximize the use of existing buildings through renovations, upgrades, and repurposing. It focuses on practical successes in complex facilities, meeting occupant needs, and using new planning and implementation tools for cost-effective results.
