All building operators are faced with a growing list of program and space demands which must be accommodated within existing and aging facilities. As a result, many facilities are choosing to renovate under-utilized spaces into higher quality, multi-purpose spaces. Racquetball courts and rock climbing walls, which serve a very dedicated population, are losing favor to more flexible, inclusive spaces that can be programmed in creative ways. Astute operators are wary of the pitfalls of designing spaces that try to serve too many populations. They are also hungry for ways to update their facilities and realize operational benefits of improved energy performance, enhanced indoor air quality, and safer environments for their patrons. In this session participants will learn about the growing trends in renovation design and creative ideas for repurposing space. They will also learn various operational strategies for analyzing the cost-benefit of renovations and understanding how to get the most bang for their buck when undertaking a renovation.
