Studio Gang: "The greenest buildings are those that already exist." Why is it that we don't talk more about reuse? For a long time, design culture has been about making new things and your creativity is based on what you can come up with out of the blue sky. Architects need to be advocates for reuse, especially the most carbon-intensive elements of an old building.

Looking to enhance the student experience and help revitalize the local riverfront, Beloit College partnered with Studio Gang to reinvent a former coal-burning power plant as a student union centered on recreation and wellness.
