Sputnik Science & Engineering Buildings: Bain or Boon?

The Sputnik satellite, a looming threat in the late 1950s, effectively spawned the best technology the US has developed... as well as many mid-century science buildings. Could these seemingly large and ugly buildings actually be goldmines for adaptive reuse and historic preservation? This session will discuss the pros and cons of retrofitting these structures into contemporary environments.
