We see renovation, addition, and adaptive reuse projects as meaningful opportunities to extend the life and relevance of existing structures. Whether revitalizing civic landmarks, modernizing academic facilities, or adapting underutilized buildings for new purposes, our team brings thoughtful, forward-focused design to every project. We approach each challenge with a deep respect for original architecture and the surrounding context, recognizing that the best solutions honor a building’s past while enabling its next chapter. Our engineers bring a nuanced understanding of structural systems, historic materials, and design intent to each transformation. We embrace the complexity these projects demand both structurally and creatively, working hand-in-hand with architects, owners, and stakeholders to reimagine spaces for alternative use. From new additions and infrastructure upgrades to full-scale adaptive reuse, our work prioritizes sustainable strategies that reduce material waste, integrate high-performance systems, and maximize existing resources. Ultimately, our passion for transforming the built environment is grounded in the belief that well-executed renovations and reuses create places that continue to inspire and serve communities for generations to come. ## Our Renovations | Additions | Adaptive Reuse Work Renovations | Additions | Adaptive Reuse ### Kelly Writer's House | University of Pennsylvania https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/kelly-writers-house-university-of-pennsylvania New Construction ### Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics | University of Pennsylvania https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/perelman-center-for-political-science-and-economics-university-of-pennsylvania Historic Preservation ### Statue of Liberty National Monument https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/statue-of-liberty-national-monument Historic Preservation ### University of Pennsylvania Boathouse Renovation https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/university-of-pennsylvania-boathouse-renovation Historic Preservation ### University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/university-of-pennsylvania-museum-of-archaeology-anthropology Building Envelope ### University of Pennsylvania Quadrangle Renovations https://keasthood.com/portfolio-item/university-of-pennsylvania-quadrangle-renovations View All Projects: https://keasthood.com/projects ## Let's Discuss Your Next Project Contact Us (https://keasthood.com/contact-us)
