Older and Historic Schools – Restoration vs. Replacement and the Role of a Feasibility Study

National Trust for Historic Preservation (2010).

A feasibility study of issues involved with renovation is the only tested way to evaluate the fit of an old building for contemporary educational uses. The checklist can help identify factors involved in making decisions and assure that a feasibility study is fair, objective and reasonable. It will assist in identifying "warning signs," questions to ask, and knowing what to look for when challenging the results and projected cost estimates of a feasibility study.
