As remote work continues to dominate the workforce, the office market is facing unprecedented challenges. The office vacancy rate in the US has reached record highs, leaving landlords with empty spaces and financial woes. While the commonly suggested approach is to convert offices into residential apartments, this is not always feasible due to financing and physical constraints. Real estate experts are suggesting alternative uses for these empty spaces. From hotels to film studios, landlords are exploring creative options to repurpose their properties. Check out the article on Business Insider to learn more about the hurdles and potential solutions for revamping office spaces: businessinsider.com/office-o… #remotework #officespace #realestate #creativerepurposing

Spending some time at our family home in Hungary, I'm reminded of the many little ways science creeps into your life when you have #biologist parents... #NotHowMyFriendsGrewUp #CreativeRepurposing #ScienceMom 🧪🧪🧪🧪🧪

A highlight of my summer was meeting residents and creatives in Coventry as a #creativerepurposing intern & co-authoring this policy paper with brilliant colleagues. You can give it a read below 👇🏻

I was delighted to be able to make a contribution to this project, with research on #CreativeRepurposing in Sunderland. See thread for links to case studies and a policy paper.

Our #CreativeRepurposing #policy paper is now available on the @HistoryPolicy website, with Executive Summary and Recommendations for policy makers. Thank you to @SASNews for funding this research, and to all the authors, partners & contributors. 3/3 historyandpolicy.org/policy-…

Our #CreativeRepurposing case-study reports on #BarkingAndDagenham, #Coventry & #Sunderland are by @rachel_delman, @markliebenrood & @DrJonWinder, drawing on field work plus insights from our partners @HistoricEngland. 2/3 history.ac.uk/research/centr…

Today we're pleased to publish the outcomes of our research on '#CreativeRepurposing' and #LevellingUp: History, #Heritage & #Urban #Renewal. Case studies online, plus a #policy paper with @HistoryPolicy identifying good practice, opportunities & risks for policy makers. 1/3

Our event recording for #CreativeRepurposing, #heritage & #urban #renewal is online! With @CatherineCroft (Director, @C20Society) & @OwLJ1 (Head of Places Strategy @HistoricEngland) @CathAMClarke @eric_180uk @rachel_delman @markliebenrood & @JonWinder_ history.ac.uk/podcasts/creat…

Thanks so much @CHPPC_IHR for organising this great event, it was fab to speak alongside @rachel_delman @markliebenrood @catherinecroft @OwLJ1 @eric_180uk @CathAMClarke exploring the issues and opportunities of #CreativeRepurposing, so much more to do!

Despite still having Covid brain fog, it was great to speak alongside my brilliant #CreativeRepurposing colleagues, as well as @OwLJ1 and @catherinecroft at this evening’s @CHPPC_IHR event. So little time and so much to say…Watch this space for more soon!

A great overview from @jonwinder_ of #CreativeRepurposing in #BarkingandDagenham. Only 47 listed buildings in the borough (compared with 300 each in #Coventry & #Sunderland). But the RSA Heritage Index highlights its heritage 'potential'.

. @OwLJ1 asks: What's the difference between regenerating a building and regenerating a place? Really interesting questions about scope, scale, and the wider public realm in our #CreativeRepurposing conversation this evening.

'How much pressure and impetus and buy-in do we need before we get that switch in mindset' and think seriously about the preservation and #CreativeRepurposing of 20th-century heritage? @catherinecroft posing questions in her presentation.

. @OwLJ1 speaking frankly about the balance between opportunity and risk presented by these funds for urban renewal, heritage and #CreativeRepurposing. 'We have to get it right'.

That's some before/after comparison! @markliebenrood on the #CreativeRepurposing of these buildings in #Sunderland, for community, performance, skills development. But how far is the reach/ripple effect of this transformation? Connects with other local regeneration projects.

. @rachel_delman talks us through the 'Broken Angel' project @CovCathedral. A creative, experimental approach to a broken window, rather than just a literal repair. Questions about permanence / impermanence, and tensions / distinctions between #CreativeRepurposing & #conservation

Now we're hearing from @rachel_delman on #CreativeRepurposing in #Coventry. She's met many people in the city and explored a huge range of #heritage and #arts projects.

You can still register FREE for this online event on #CreativeRepurposing, #heritage & #renewal: Weds 29 June, 5.30pm. With @CatherineCroft (@C20Society) & @OwLJ1 (@HistoricEngland) @CathAMClarke @eric_180uk @rachel_delman @markliebenrood & @JonWinder_: history.ac.uk/events/creativ…

Huge congratulations to Rachel - currently one of the researchers on our #CreativeRepurposing project (see her in action at our online event on June 29th! history.ac.uk/events/creativ…).
