CUSP 2017 - Adaptive Reuse and Places of Worship in Galt

For the CUSP of 2017 the City of Cambridge invited students from Laurier to investigate opportunities for the adaptive reuse of existing places of worship in Galt City Centre.   Across the City of Cambridge places of worship are seeing declining memberships, a decrease in donations and increased operational costs as their buildings age.  In this project students provided the City and four places of worship in the downtown with an assessment of their options and how to achieve them.  Working in four consulting teams the students undertook the research followed by community presentations and a final report submitted in April.

Here are the cover pages for the 2017 CUSP final reports.
