Many buildings within seismic zones are not built to withstand the impacts of earthquakes. Legislators in seismic regions across the U.S. have updated building codes and regulations to better handle seismic events for new construction and have put legislation in place to bring older buildings into compliance.

There is more risk and unforeseen circumstances behind seismic retrofit of older buildings, but a lot of that can be avoided through early investigative work during design:

Overcoming risk and unforeseen circumstances when constructing seismic retrofits Discover the challenges and complexities of seismic retrofitting older buildings, and how PCL Construction has become a leader in the field.

As property developers, healthcare providers, and building owners continue to seek ways to construct sustainable facilities that also meet their speed-to-market goals, prefabrication has demonstrated itself to be a useful tool. It's important to also keep an eye on what materials are used.

3 ways prefabrication doubles as a sustainability strategy Corie Baker, AIA, shares three modular Gresham Smith projects that found sustainability benefits from the use of prefabrication.

Not all of the fallout from COVID-19 was negative. For example, the pandemic alerted the general public about the central role institutional and commercial facilities – in particular, air filtration and ventilation systems – play in the health and safety of building occupants and visitors.
