Introduction:
Adaptive reuse is a sustainable practice that involves the repurposing of existing buildings for new uses, rather than demolishing and rebuilding. This practice not only helps in preserving the cultural and historical significance of buildings but also contributes to environmental conservation by reducing construction waste and energy consumption. In the context of campus buildings, adaptive reuse can play a significant role in promoting sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of educational institutions.
As universities and colleges continue to grow and expand, the demand for new facilities and infrastructure also increases. However, the construction of new buildings comes with a high environmental cost, including the depletion of natural resources, increased energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. By repurposing existing buildings on campus through adaptive reuse, educational institutions can reduce their environmental impact while also saving costs on new construction projects.
This project research aims to explore the concept of adaptive reuse for campus building sustainability, focusing on the benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with this practice. By examining case studies and conducting a thorough literature review, this research seeks to provide insights and recommendations for educational institutions looking to implement adaptive reuse strategies on their campuses.

Project Research Overview:
Adaptive reuse for campus building sustainability is a critical topic in the field of sustainable architecture and construction. This project research aims to explore the concept of adaptive reuse and its potential benefits for educational institutions seeking to improve their sustainability practices. By repurposing existing buildings on campus rather than constructing new ones, universities and colleges can reduce their environmental impact, conserve resources, and preserve the cultural heritage of their built environment.
Through a comprehensive literature review, case studies, and stakeholder interviews, this research will examine the challenges, best practices, and success factors associated with adaptive reuse projects in campus buildings. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights and recommendations for educational institutions looking to implement adaptive reuse strategies on their campuses, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future for higher education facilities.
