The Horse Barn located in the heart of the UW - Madison campus project is under Historic Preservation rally to highlight one of the oldest buildings on campus and stay connected to early roots of the history of the University. My design integrates sustainable technology, landscape and design to give this old gem a facelift, as well as become usable classroom and meeting space for students enrolled in the agricultural department. An addition was created to house all of the mechanical and support functions of the building. I also designed a new support structure for the roof (see loft images), as after collaboration with the engineering department at UW - Madison, we had concluded the existing structure would not support live loads as calculated.
