THE BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Dan Schmidt, principal at JDS Companies in Columbus, Ohio, has been doing adaptive reuse for a quarter century.
He appreciates the ability to give new life to an old building, but
understands the financial challenges.
The Jeffrey Manufacturing Co. was founded in the 19th century and became one of the world’s first and largest makers of mining machinery.
At one time, the firm employed about 5,000 people in Columbus.
But by the later
20th century, the assets had been sold by the Jeffrey family and the buildings
were ripe for redevelopment.
