Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 1501984, member: 5058"] Historic buildings can be altered. You can't force a building to sit vacant if it no longer serves a useful purpose. Repurposing a building helps justify keeping it. That said, it's not as easy, there are a lot more regulatory hoops to jump through, and often the register is very specific about what qualifies the building for that status (it ain't just cause it's old, it has to prove some sort of architectural or engineering importance or uniqueness. It could even be just that it is an excellent example of a type, or that it is part of the original quad, which may be registered [its not]). The Women's building still hosts volleyball I believe. Not sure how you do major work there, and I don't think it's big enough even with the field for a campus health and fitness center the way they are done these days (we do a lot). That said, we need a new one of those too. Not sure where the money will come from. [/QUOTE]
