Reutilización adaptada en BIRMINGHAM, AL en U-HAUL MOVING & STORAGE AT UPTOWN

Historia del edificio
The Hardie-Tynes Company was headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama from 1895 to 2016. The company was established in 1895 by William Hardie and William Tynes. Originally named the Engine Works, a subsidiary of the Birmingham Iron Works, the company focused on manufacturing and engineering large-scale industrial parts. The original manufacturing plant was located on the 2500-2700 blocks of 1st Avenue North. When a fire destroyed the original plant in 1901, the company relocated and rebuilt on the 800 28th Street location. They officially resumed operations in 1903 and changed their name to the Hardie-Tynes Company. Hardie-Tynes was known for their foundry and machine shop operations manufacturing water control systems, mining equipment, steam turbines, pressure vessels, bridge sections, and industrial and defense equipment. When the property was rebuilt in 1902, the site contained a foundry building, machine shop building, office, pattern storage building, engine shop, blacksmith, storage building (later used as a carpenter shop), oil house, a dwelling and three railroad spurs. Another pattern storage building, shed, and two small structures were added by 1911, while two small outbuildings were removed. By 1951, additional buildings were constructed, additions were built, and the subject property resembled its current configuration.
Hardie-Tynes was a large producer of ship engines and propeller screws during World War I. Post-war they shifted operations to creating equipment for utility companies in the region and for the U.S. Navy. The facility was redesigned for a third time, after a second fire broke out in 1924. Heavy steel columns and girders were used during the rebuild and a sprinkler system was established. The water tower, which supplied the sprinkler system, became a landmark for the Hardie-Tynes manufacturing plant. The company continued to adapt throughout the decades, manufacturing for many industries. In 1997, the DeBardeleben family purchased Hardie-Tynes and operated the company until it closed operations in 2016.
U-Haul acquired the historic property in 2017 after Hardie-Tynes operations ceased. The site is now preserved for future generations and is known as U-Haul Moving & Storage at Uptown. Las conversiones de reutilización adaptada en el edificio permitieron que U-Haul promueva los trabajos de relleno para satisfacer las necesidades de los ciudadanos y, al mismo tiempo, preservar los recursos naturales y la tierra que por lo general se necesita para construcciones nuevas. La reutilización adaptada también permite que los recursos se orienten en la integración de características de bajo impacto ambiental dentro del edificio existente en lugar de crear desechos por demolición y usar recursos valiosos para la nueva construcción.
