Webinar: Revitalizing Structures: Adaptive Reuse at Canal Station
Wednesday, November 20, 2024 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (CST)
Description
This webinar is focused on the adaptive reuse of Canal Station in Chicago, a standout project that showcases the resilience and versatility of precast concrete. Originally installed in 1989, the precast components have remained in excellent condition, mirroring their initial state even decades later. This presentation will discuss the recent renovations that refreshed the building's appearance and functionality, including techniques for enlarging openings and altering the facade’s color to inject new life into the structure. This session offers a practical look at how precast concrete can be effectively utilized and modified in renovation projects, providing valuable insights for architects, engineers, and the broader AEC community.
The presenters will be Jeff Sanner (SCB) and Peter Tarara (WJE).
