Some buildings still have plenty of life left in them. Building rehabilitation and adaptive reuse in Boise are at the heart of AHJ Engineers’ work, helping owners and architects give existing structures a new purpose while meeting today’s standards. With the right engineering, they can meet today’s standards and take on a whole new purpose. We’ve watched an old school become a home, a roundhouse come alive again as a brewery and event space, and downtown buildings strengthened so new tenants could keep them in use.
According to the National Park Service Preservation Briefs, rehabilitation can give historic buildings a new life while retaining their character and integrity.
It’s not always about starting over. Sometimes it’s about keeping what matters and making it work for the future. In many Boise projects, AHJ Engineers has provided the structural insight that makes adaptive reuse possible. From assessing foundations and framing to designing seismic retrofits, our team helps ensure that each building can safely serve a new purpose. Building rehabilitation in Boise is about more than preservation; it’s about giving communities spaces that connect history with modern function. AHJ Engineers has been helping owners and architects do just that for more than 40 years.
