Evaluation of a Historic High-Rise Reinforced Concrete Building
The Halsey Street Teacher Village is a major redevelopment by the RBH Group of several city blocks in downtown Newark, NJ. New construction and renovation of existing buildings is contemplated to develop an entire complex of residential and commercial buildings centered on several new charter schools, also included as part of the redevelopment. As part of this project, Arup was requested to evaluate the Calumet Building, located at 17-19 William St., for potential rehabilitation and renovation. The Calumet Building is one of the original high-rise reinforced concrete buildings in the United States, constructed circa 1914, and the birthplace of the AA 12-step program. Due to the latter event, it is listed as a historic property with the state historic preservation office (SHPO). Years of neglect necessitated an evaluation to assess its viability for rehabilitation. Results of the evaluation indicated massive repairs and selective replacement of columns, slabs and beams would be required, in addition to complete removal and replacement of the two stairways.
