Sustainability. Neighborhood suitability. Historical importance. Energy efficiency. Livability.<\/p>\n

Those were just some of the considerations facing three seniors at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga when they developed ideas for redesigning an historic building in Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

The decrepit Dixie Mercerizing mill\u2014located in the Ridgedale neighborhood and closed since 2009\u2014is undergoing a complete renovation. As part of their senior project, interior architecture and design majors Landon Parker, Selah Robertson and Robyn Wood came up with concepts for one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, common spaces and commercial businesses for the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, our senior students work on an adaptive reuse project of a historic building, usually abandoned or vacant, in the local community as their capstone project. Typically, those historic buildings are an \u2018eyesore\u2019 and degrade the neighborhood quality,\u201d said Dr. Eun Young Kim, assistant professor in the Department of Interior Architecture and Design.<\/p>\n

The students presented their plans on Wednesday, Dec. 14, to members of the Chattanooga chapter of the American Institute of Architecture (AIA).<\/p>\n

Alex Reyland from HK Associates Inc., the architectural company designing the actual renovation of Dixie Mercerizing, was impressed with the students\u2019 concepts after watching their presentations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked them,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were very practical.\u201d<\/p>\n

As it currently stands, the Dixie Mercerizing building can\u2019t be used because it doesn\u2019t meet building codes. It was originally built in 1920 to produce cotton products.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about adaptive reuse, which is taking an old building and making it modern while also keeping the historic character,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cThat\u2019s something that, as interior designers, we\u2019re going to do a lot, especially with environmental concerns and not wanting to do new builds instead of improving old buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to renovating old buildings, though, it\u2019s not just about fixing all the broken parts and making everything pretty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done a lot of research prior to the beginnings of our schematic design,\u201d said Wood. \u201cWe did a lot of focusing on residential codes for apartment buildings to make sure everything was safe and functional.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did research about the surrounding community with interviews from local professionals as well as a survey that was sent out to the Ridgedale community. That information has been guiding us in our space planning and our design choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kim said that part of the students\u2019 project was to make sure any changes to the building fit the overall feel of the neighborhood and are a positive addition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing what we think is going to be best use for the surrounding community,\u201d Wood said. She includes a small grocery store in her plans.<\/p>\n

Robertson is adding a library and rentable office space that small businesses can use.<\/p>\n

Parker is planning food stalls that can host changing businesses. \u201cIf you need or if they want to, or it could be a more permanent basis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In spring semester, the students will complete their designs, including identifying materials to be used and construction specifications.<\/p>\n

The students said the project gives them hands-on experience with the multiple details that must be considered in building redesign, a major advantage to their future careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur projects are all going to be shown to future employers in our portfolios, so this project, being as detailed and as large-scale as it is, is going to be really beneficial\u2014assuming it turns out well,\u201d Wood said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Lauren Dunn, adjunct professor in the UTC Department of Engineering Management and Technology and president of the AIA in 2022, said the projects assist the students and the institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cAIA Chattanooga wants to take advantage of opportunities to connect with K-12 and higher education students in the region for the mutual benefit to our membership and the students as well as the profession,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
