Build If You Must, But Consider... 4. Found Space. Planning for Higher Education; Vol. 3; No. 3; June 1974.
Kliment, Stephen A.; Lord, Jane
This is the fourth of seven articles to address the problem of what higher education can do to meet the space needs of new programs and a wider constituency, without resorting to new building. One way to meet space needs is to prospect for available space off campus and by means of rehabilitation or major conversion, to adapt this space to educational needs. This kind of space is know as "found space." Residential, commercial and industrial shifts in urban and suburban areas have left many large, solidly built structures vacant. Such structures are often convertible to educational uses at a cost far below that of constructing an equivalent facility new. How administrators can find and adapt such found space is reviewed in this article, along with some useful examples. (Author)
