The Emerging Structural Engineers (ESE) hosted an insightful site visit
ICA had the opportunity to go to a site visit yesterday. The Emerging Structural Engineers (ESE) hosted an insightful site visit to the Old Choral Hall, showcasing its ongoing redevelopment. Students had the opportunity to tour the site and witness firsthand how design and construction teams are conserving and restoring the building's heritage features while implementing modern strengthening techniques. The visit highlighted innovative methods used to preserve the hall’s historic character, including careful integration of seismic upgrades and contemporary functionality. This experience provided valuable insights into the challenges and solutions involved in balancing heritage conservation with modern engineering requirements.
