La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto significativo en la economía mundial y la vida de las personas. Muchos países implementaron medidas de confinamiento que cerraron negocios no esenciales y ordenaron a las personas quedarse en casa para frenar la propagación del virus. A medida que los países comienzan a reabrir gradualmente, los gobiernos y las empresas deben encontrar formas de reanudar las actividades económicas de manera segura mientras se minimiza el riesgo para la salud pública.

The reuse plan for the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center will be developed in stages. The first area to begin renovation will be re-establishing the main entrance and renovating the first three floors of the east wing to feature a Military Rehabilitation Center. A bed and breakfast will then be implemented to generate income. The third phase will stimulate growth through commercial and education opportunities, including a rental shop, museum, retail, bakery and pharmacy.
Howe Elementary School was built in 1927 and incorporated architectural features of the time. It is proposed to reuse the building as Julia Ward Howe Commons, a mixed-use development providing housing, commercial space, and community amenities. The first floor would include a restaurant, store, daycare and rentable classrooms. The second floor would be converted to apartments. Exterior updates and a parking structure are also proposed. The development aims to incorporate neighborhood values while meeting community needs.
The Mayowood estate was once over 3,000 acres containing farms, gardens, and Mayowood Mansion - a 38-room country home designed by Dr. Charles Mayo. Three generations of the Mayo family lived at Mayowood, which was donated to the historical society in 1965. Currently, the mansion operates as a museum, but proposals suggest adapting it as a bed and breakfast or converting the entire estate into a country club with recreational activities, restored buildings, and community spaces.

Passive house standards and net-zero energy schools that generate as much energy as they consume are presented as advanced options. Case studies of schools that have implemented these strategies in Europe are provided. The document emphasizes the educational benefits of making schools' energy usage visible to students.
Mitchell Yards was built in 1906 in Hibbing, Minnesota as an engine house and train yard for the DM&N Railroad to repair locomotives and rearrange rail cars. It served as a major transportation hub for iron ore moving across the country until 1960. Current owner Dave Aho, a metalworking artist, wants to restore the building to teach students and create a sculpture garden, stage, bar and brewery while preserving the original 1906 elements like the boiler, brickwork, and doors. He is asking for community support to realize his vision.
The Mayowood Historic District is located in Mayowood, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and includes over 200 homes built between 1890-1930. The district represents a cohesive collection of late 19th and early 20th century architectural styles.
St. Peter's Church in Duluth, Minnesota is being considered for reuse as an Italian restaurant and community center. The church was constructed in the early 1900s and features a historic grotto dedicated to Italian soldiers from WWII. Interior characteristics like stained glass windows and paintings would be preserved under the new design. The prime hilltop location offers views of Lake Superior and would continue to enhance events at the site. Maintaining characteristics that reflect the building's history as a church is an important part of the proposed redevelopment plan.
The Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center was established in 1906 based on the architectural style of Doctor Thomas Story Kirkbride. It was modeled after his approach and built by architect Warren Dunnel. The RTC has an overall Kirkbride shape with a brick exterior and administration building at the center. Plans are underway to convert it into a bed and breakfast, restaurant, and outdoor recreation hub connected by trails throughout the city, preserving an important piece of history.
Prosser & Benz - St. Peter's Church (Board)okeefew
St. Peter's Church was constructed in 1925-1927 under the leadership of architect Peter Summers, the son of an Italian immigrant. Italian immigrant stone masons harvested local bluestone and used techniques from Italy to hand-cut each stone into the Gothic Romanesque style church. The Catholic Diocese later closed the church due to declining attendance and high repair costs, despite parishioners' contributions, opting to focus resources on other parishes instead of repairs. The document argues the historic structure should still be preserved.
The document provides information on 9 structures constructed between 1916-1949 in various locations across the United States. It notes the year of construction and dismantling for some structures, while others only provide the construction year or location. Locations include Fulton, MI; Round Rock, TX; Valdosta, GA; Grand Ledge, MI; Rich Hill, MO; and an unknown location.
The document summarizes a reuse plan for the historic Pillsbury A. Mill complex in Minneapolis. The mill, completed in 1881, was once the largest and most advanced flour mill in the world but has been vacant since the 1960s. The proposed reuse plan would transform the mill into a mixed-use development featuring an exploration environment museum modeled after the City Museum of St. Louis, housing and lodging accommodations, a brewery and restaurant utilizing the industrial aspects of the site, and open green space, while preserving the mill's defining architectural elements and significance in industrial history.
The document proposes redeveloping the historic Pillsbury A Mill complex in Minneapolis to preserve its character defining elements. The 7.9 acre site includes the 1881 Pillsbury A Mill, 1910 red tile grain elevators, and 1914 white concrete grain elevators. It is located along St. Anthony Main Street in a mixed-use area connecting several neighborhoods. Redeveloping the entire complex comprehensively could help maintain its open, light feeling and industrial character while allowing for contemporary design and reuse.
The Pillsbury "A" Mill complex is located in Minneapolis on the Mississippi River at St. Anthony Falls. It was constructed in 1881 and was the largest and most advanced flour mill in the world for nearly 40 years, helping establish Minneapolis as the milling capital of the US. It is now the only standing giant mill from that era. The proposal is to redevelop the complex to preserve the historic buildings and landscape, which are currently at risk due to piecemeal development plans. New development would maintain the open, light feel while introducing contemporary design and taking advantage of the site's location.

Built in 1927 and designed by the Bureau of Buildings, a division of architecture and Architectural Engineering. It was created to bring “attractive lines and useful simplicity” to the design of Minneapolis schools. During this period there was also a great increase in students, thus increasing the demand in schools. Since these schools had to be added at such a quick pace the Bureau of Buildings developed standardized plans, the second of which was “Plan #3”. Howe was modeled after this plan which specified a U shape and a variety of classrooms and the ability to allows seamless additions to accommodate a constantly growing student population. Although Howe was one of the few schools built to completion enrollment still exceeded the rated capacity of 470 students for many years of operation.
Located in the Longfellow community of Minneapolis, Howe has always been an important community asset. It was designed to incorporate rooms that could also be used for community rooms for events such as boy scout meetings and after school classes for the growing immigrant population. This community connection has been vitally important to building and has carried through time. When Howe Elementary was closed in 2005, it was this strong connection that led the Longfellow Community Council to immediately begin holding meetings to explore potential reuses. A request for proposals was sent out in 2006, expecting to fill the building within a 5 month time frame. After this first process, the Longfellow Community Council created the Howe Reuse Task Force to explore options for reuse that the community would favor. This includes the reuse study in which 3 potential options are explored. Another RFP is then released explicitly excluding charter school proposals. United Properties proposal for a senior living reuse is accepted and then later terminated after the market fall in 2010. Another RFP was sent out in 2010, and then a fourth in 2011.
Building off the community involvement with this property, a mixed use facility incorporating local businesses and community oriented amenities. The green space, although unimportant to the historic character of the building, holds a great community value that should be kept. In this plan, the green space is kept and made available for community use as well as rental for sporting teams. The area in purple would be turned into a small community garden, giving priority to building residents and then community residents. The yellow area is the current playground which will be retained but a safety wall will be added to enclose it. The purple area will be one of the only areas that is changed, a structure for enclosed parking will be added on for residents. The orange portion will be used for public parking for the building, as it is currently paved.
Some of the important exterior characteristics of the building that must be retained are the patterning of the doors and windows, collegiate gothic arches above the extruded doorways, and original windows. Each of these elements were common to schools built during this time period and contribute significantly to the historic fabric of the building.
Some of the interior characteristics that are important to retain are the built in wooden cabinets in each classroom, the art deco drinking fountain niches and the arched hallways. It is also important to keep the vast amount of natural light in the interior rooms, as a component of the building’s design was to assure that every room in the building would at one point of the day have natural sunlight.
The first floor will be turned into a combination of retail and neighborhood amenities. The green area will be turned into a neighborhood store, the light purple will be a local restaurant with the front area turned into an outdoor patio, the yellow will be a management office, the gym will be combined with one of the back classrooms and turned into a dance studio with a performance space that could also be rented out for community use. The pink space would be a daycare, also giving preference to the residents and community members, the orange would be converted into restrooms, and the brown and grey would be saved for retail, such as a local gift shop or wine shop.
The second floor would be converted into eight one bedroom apartments in the front, with two larger two bedroom units towards the back. The red area would be the entrance to the units as well as the elevator and entrance to the enclosed parking reserved for building residents.
There will be very few required changes made to the existing building so the building will be preserved but brought back to life through the new uses. Having multiple, varied uses will also help contribute to the long term success of this reuse plan.
