A brief is a short version of a case study.
The new Accident Fund Holdings Headquarters involved the redevelopment of an out-of-commission power station in downtown Lansing, Michigan, turning a relic of 1930s infrastructure into Class A office space. The Ottawa Street Power Station, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was a 227,000 square-foot (21,098 m2) structure on a 7-acre (2.83 ha) lot built in 1939 in downtown Lansing that had been decommissioned. This project restores the historic building on the Grand Riverfront while increasing its capacity by 105,000 (9,755 m2) square feet with a modern addition.
