Technology Award: Fitting Old with New

Marston Hall is the 60,000 ft2 historic home of the College of Engineering at Iowa State University (ISU) in Ames, Iowa. The original building first opened in 1903. In 2016 ISU completed the first comprehensive renovation, creating a 21st century learning environment within the 19th century structure to give the building another 100 years of life. The building is currently using 50% less energy than it had prior to the renovations, even though its use and occupancy have increased significantly.
