1 Keystone Library Renovation


Introduction
When a business or industrial facility closes, even if the location is desirable, the building is sometimes left boarded up and abandoned, sometimes for years. Often these abandoned properties are not redeveloped because of the potential presence (whether contamination is actually present or not) of some type of contamination left behind by the previous property owners. These abandoned properties are referred to as brownfields. Federal and state programs now encourage developers to clean up and redevelop these unused properties in an effort to revitalize unsightly areas. These incentives have provided funding sources for the assessment and remediation of brownfield sites that has allowed redevelopment and reuse of properties that were previously undesirable. n this pro!ect you will plan the redevelopment of a (fictitious) e"isting industrial brownfield site in #oblesville, #. The unit activities will guide you as you create a redevelopment plan to reuse the facility as a public library.

The $ity of #oblesville received a grant from the %tate of ndiana to assess the site for hazardous materials. The results of the investigation indicate that the property has insignificant levels of contamination and can be redeveloped without restriction on use. Of course, all applicable building codes and local regulations still apply to the development.

The e"isting building is appro"imately 56ft " )'7ft and '(ft tall and is gutted. #o interior walls or fi"tures remain. 8ou will utilize the e"isting structure to its fullest e"tent and add a partial second floor to the structure. The part of the e"isting roof that is not enclosed for the new second floor will be converted to a green roof that will be accessible to the public. 8ou will redesign the e"isting building to create a plan for renovating the structure to serve as a public library. -s necessary, you will replace e"isting building components or add new components to provide a safe and efficient building with ade9uate utilities and services. 8ou will also create a site design that will provide sufficient par2ing, desirable traffic flow, and appropriate grading and storm water management. Constraints The design should follow all applicable building codes and local regulations.
