Stronger Together: How Structural Engineers and Owners Unlock Adaptive Reuse Potential
As office buildings age and demand grows for housing and mixed-use spaces, adaptive reuse is emerging as a smart alternative to demolition and new construction. For Jennifer Greenawalt, P.E., S.E., LEED Green Associate, an associate with Thornton Tomasetti's Washington, DC office, this transformation represents something deeply meaningful: “It's exciting to see a building take new life, instead of just trashing it.”
SEE Us as Partners
Structural engineers are not just part of the team—they’re essential to ensuring a building’s safety, longevity, and performance. At the heart of every successful project is collaboration. Structural engineers work closely with architects, owners, and the construction team from day one to create buildings that stand the test of time.
SEE How We Collaborate
Structural engineers work hand in hand with architects, building owners, and developers to bring ambitious visions to life. Every building project requires a blend of expertise, and structural engineers play a key role in making sure that design ideas become safe, durable, and cost-effective structures. From the earliest planning stages to project completion, we ensure that all elements work together seamlessly to create buildings that not only meet design goals but also exceed performance expectations.
