Adaptive reuse is the concept of taking the existing structure of a building and using it for a new or modern function. This allows for the continued use a of viable community asset and space to serve new needs. Estimated construction cost savings of 26.5% versus estimated construction cost for a new preschool.

Good to see that this scheme has now secured planning permission. Anderson Acoustics were commissioned by Oundle School in 2022 to undertake an environmental noise survey and then in 2024 a noise impact assessment including advice on noise mitigation measures required to comply with the local planning requirements. We assessed the impact from existing environmental noise levels on the building itself, and set out recommended limits to externally mounted plant items so that a detailed noise assessment of external plant can be undertaken once the selections are made. The results of the noise levels measured on site, were used to calibrate an environmental 3D model of the site to predict façade noise levels at the proposed building elevations. Looking forward to seeing the scheme take shape. #planningapplication #planningapproval #educationestates #schools #noiseimpactassessment #acousticconsultancy

Pittsburgh: The City of Bridges Affectionately known as the “City of Bridges,” Pittsburgh boasts 446 bridges. Long before the majestic bridges soared above the Three Rivers, Pittsburgh was a rugged terrain of deep valleys, creeks, and rivers, isolating many of the city’s residents. When the first European settlers arrived in the 1700s, they had to cross streams and climb steep hillsides just to travel around the region. To overcome these challenges, the settlers built wooden bridges to connect newly constructed roadways and span the rivers and valleys.

During the November 12 City Council meeting, the Council approved Phase 1 of improvements to Coyote Ridge Park. Based on feedback received during the 2023-2024 park improvements public outreach process, these improvements focus on three areas: the playground, accessibility and mobility improvements, and fencing at the basketball court. Next, City staff will work with a consultant to finalize design and construction drawings. Construction of the Phase 1 improvements is expected to begin in mid-2025 and be completed by early 2026. The timing of future phased improvements to Coyote Ridge Park will be determined by recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and approval by City Council. Visit the Coyote Ridge Park Improvements webpage for more information on the project. https://lnkd.in/gGqJqaAp Visit the Future Park Planning webpage to learn more about the park planning public outreach process and the updated 2024 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. https://lnkd.in/gY3pYtBx

Thorseby Vale, Edwinstowe Takes Shape.......... Great to see the exciting time-lapse from the latest forest school in Nottinghamshire. The new primary school designed by award-winning firm Lungfish Architects will provide ample opportunity for its pupils to learn both inside and outside the classroom, in specially designed teaching pavilions and outdoor classrooms. The Lungfish Architects designed project is being delivered by Stepnell for the client Harworth Group plc and will soon benefit more local residents and their families. Rather than traditional methods the offsite/fabric first and 2-D timber panelised approach balances low carbon, sustainable timber based superstructures with full and comprehensive fire compliance. The structures are complimented by Innovaré Offsite's market leading fire resistance testing which sets the standard for LowCarbon+FireSafe timber-based solutions. The rigorous testing process and substantial investment in fire safety tests undertaken in Dubai by Innovaré Offsite over the past year provides assurance to building specifiers, owners and end users alike. The approach has earned acclaim from Loren Hughes - MIFSM, ACABE, aFA of L H Fire Ltd, leading fire consultancy, for the scheme, for its groundbreaking fire resistance testing. The cutting-edge testing of the i-FAST timber-based structural insulated panel system in Dubai, has been hailed as a game-changer for fire safety engineering, positioning the company at the forefront of the industry. #offsiteconstruction #mmc #sustainablearchitecture #forestschooldesign #schooldesign #collaborativeworking #offsiteconstruction #timberconstruction #firecompliance

Edgar Development's Portwood project in Port Moody will be built in five phases over the next 15 years

Thanks Kronen Limited for your valuable highways assistance on this.

Next week is our CAN-opener where we will kick-off CANstruction 2024 and this a reminder to RSVP for the event. This is an opportunity to meet potential teams, sponsors, and volunteers. This year will be our 28th Canstruction Portland event which will be at Pioneer Place in mid-September. Our goal is to raise enough food and funding to provide over 60,000 meals to those who are food insecure in Oregon and SW Washington during our in-person event and ultimately, help make an impact on the issues that perpetuate hunger in our community. This year’s CAN-opener is on Wednesday, April 24th at 5:30pm at Mahlum Architects, Inc. We will have an online option for those who cannot attend in-person. We are trying something a little different this year by sending out the presentation out late next week to use the CAN-opener as a questions and answers forum. So come ready with questions and conversation! Last year, Oregon Food Bank saw a 14% increase in visits to meal assistance sites- and they are on track to see another 1.2 million this year alone. It is estimated that 1 in 10 Oregonians are facing hunger. Despite the climb out of the pandemic, rising costs of goods, housing, healthcare, and inflation generally has meant that we aren’t seeing a decrease in hunger. Your participation in and support of Canstruction is a vital way we can bridge the hunger gap for our community. Together, we can help create a resilient community with every can and dollar we raise at this event. And we need you to make the difference. We are asking for your continued support to help us grow Canstruction Portland and make a positive impact in our community as we return to an in-person event. We would love for you to spread the word about the event to your clients, coworkers, and friends. Please email us at info@canstructionpdx.org if you are interested in joining us. #Portland #Canstruction #canstructionpdx #oregonfoodbank #OneCanMakeaDifference #CanstructaWorldWithoutHunger #endhunger #nawicpdx #aiaoregon #aiaportland #ASCEOregonSection #agcoregoncolumbiachapter #OBOA #design #architecture #engineering #construction #art #designbuildfeed
