Jeff Venezia Guests as Panel Expert on Adaptive Reuse

Jeffrey Venezia, CEO of DIGroup Architecture, was invited to participate in a panel discussion on ‘adaptive reuse as a path to sustainability’ for the Real Estate Business Alliance with the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber.  This forum featured market experts from different segments of the industry to discuss how adaptive reuse is gaining favor due to its potential for higher returns, cheaper materials costs and being more economical compared to demolitions and having a reduced environmental impact on the area by much less hauling to landfills. 

Jeff showcased several adaptive reuse projects, including the award-winning Dina’s Dwellings and Unity Square Community Center & Firefighters Museum in New Brunswick and his involvement in the master planning for the Budd Bioworks life sciences campus in North Philadelphia.

According to Jeff, “Adaptive reuse invites us to think creatively and sustainably in addressing contemporary needs while maintaining a connection with our rich architectural past.”
