Renovation2050 Established as a Research House

In 2010, RRCL designed and constructed Renovation2050 in collaboration with the Sustainable Buildings Group in the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University.

Over the past 4 years, a number of research projects have been completed.  The research scope ranges from a material level (e.g. historic brick durability) to the building level.  RRCL has been an intricate part of the research, coupling these young researchers with field experience opportunity and related projects.

RRCL invites you to visit the Reno2050 website for more information.
