Sustainability
Adaptive Reuse of Building
Duke Farms has capitalized on the embedded energy already existing in the built environment by adapting structures rather than demolishing and constructing anew. These buildings now serve as model adaptable structures and regenerative habitats that may be replicated on a small or large scale by others. Buildings on site that once served as J.B. Duke’s horse barn and greenhouse have been renovated to meet LEED© standards of energy efficiency and adapted to serve the purposes of the current mission of Duke Farms and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
