	Project Name: Location: Owner: Project Cost: Year Completed:				Case Western Reserve University Adelbert Hall restoration Cleveland, Ohio Case Western Reserve University $12,000,000 1993
	SUMMARY: It is the oldest building on the Case Western Reserve campus. It was restored to modern day codes, yet maintaining its Historic appearance.
	After a devastating fire in June of 1991, at the oldest building on campus at Case Western Reserve University, all that remained were sandstone load-bearing exterior walls, some interior masonry walls and a portion of the wrought-iron beam and brick-arch floor system. The University wanted to preserve this 1882 building and not lose its identity with the past.  Besides the immediate stabilization of the remaining structure, there were many issues, which had to be resolved quickly to enclose the building prior to the arrival of inclement weather. The decision was made to first design and construct a new steel roof structure, seal the building from the weather, complete the design of the building, and then construct the remainder of the interior structure within the building shell.  The new floor structure was needled and fed through the newly completed roof structure.  The existing floor system was reinforced using composite design between the new and existing structure. The use of new steel frame within the exterior bearing wall enclosure gave the building greater flexibility and created more usable space.  The design and construction work was completed in a timely manner, within budget, and with the cooperation of all parties concerned.
