This is a cool project that reclaims an old 19th century building that once was a manufacturing facility and later (1950s) served as Wesleyan’s physical plant. The site had fallen into disrepair and was a local eyesore until this significant adaptive reuse. I can’t wait to get back to campus someday and see it.

Very cool. I am a total sucker for reused industrial buildings. Like this interior picture is awesome to me:

As am I. For some odd reason, I find comfort in the solitude one can experience wandering around industrial sites of various kinds, especially the really old ones. I always imagine as I’m walking around the many people who worked there, what they made and all the activity that once took place. It’s a first cousin to walking around a cemetery I suppose.
This is what it looked like not that long ago:
