Ballinger Principals Present at Tradeline College & University Facilities Conference

Colleges and universities face mounting pressure to decarbonize campuses, optimize capital budgets, and address aging infrastructure—all while maintaining competitive academic programs.

Ballinger’s Rob Voss, AIA, LEED AP and Rich Dengler, AIA, WELL AP will present adaptive reuse as a strategic solution to these converging challenges at the Tradeline College & University Facilities Conference in Scottsdale, AZ on March 30 and 31. They will share science-focused renewal projects demonstrating integrated design approaches that extend facility lifecycles, reduce embodied and operational carbon, and align with institutional master plans. Their talk, “Adaptive Reuse: Strategic Pathways to High-Performance Science Facilities,” will explore assessment frameworks that balance programmatic requirements with structural suitability, capital investment strategies that maximize efficiency while preserving asset value, and the specific timing and tools for life cycle assessment and energy modeling that transform outdated buildings into innovative, high-performance environments for scientific discovery and learning.
