Overview:
Historic preservation is about meeting the challenges of our community today: decarbonization, equitable design, resiliency, biodiversity, placemaking; while honoring the historic fabric at building or District Scale, and enhancing the community with new construction or deep green retrofits. Presentation will include deep green retrofits of Corcoran Hall at the George Washington University Campus (Historic building), 1101 16th Street NW (Class A, LEED Platinum repositioning of 1970s brutalist office buildings in a Historic District), 1771 N Street NW (Class A, LEED Gold repositioning of 1960s office building in a Historic District) and new construction of a LEED Healthcare Silver full-service hospital in St. Elizabeth's East Campus (Historic District) that focuses on equitable design, resiliency and decarbonization while bringing urgently needed emergency healthcare services to Anacostia.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how to get high performance results in a historic building retrofit
- Understand how to reposition properties in a historic district to achieve community goals for resiliency, equitable design, decarbonization, biodiversity while enhancing the historic fabric of the community
- Understand how to design new construction in a historic district, balancing historic dialogue with community goals for health, resiliency, equitable design, decarbonization, and biodiversity
- Understand that historic urban fabric and preservation is interdependent with design for sustainability, resiliency, decarbonization and equity
