What we need and expect from our buildings has changed and our communities are constantly evolving. As we strive to create a more sustainable built environment, adapting our buildings for different uses or repurposing our materials can be incredibly effective strategies to reduce embodied carbon and minimize waste. This event explores how shifts in policy, design, and engineering are accelerating the reuse of buildings and materials, reshaping the planning, development and construction landscape. Join leaders across architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and policy to discover innovative approaches that prioritize circularity and less environmental impact.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand how adaptive reuse contributes to reducing embodied carbon in the built environment.
• Explore policy drivers and incentives that support building and material reuse.
• Identify design and engineering strategies that enable successful adaptive reuse projects.
• Examine real-world projects and impacts of reuse on construction timelines, costs, and sustainability outcomes.
• Learn how to integrate reuse principles into project planning, permitting, and stakeholder engagement processes.
