Code Work

Code for historic and existing buildings differs from that for new construction. Elise Johnson-Schmidt was one of a select group of architects hired by the Preservation League of New York State to provide case studies for the state’s use in redeveloping its building code for existing projects. The New York State Building Code and the International Building Code have been developed simultaneously to enhance the ability to revitalize existing and historic structures. J-S&A is skilled both at interpreting and applying existing building codes for the purpose of revitalizing historic structures while maintaining the safety of the users and inhabitants.
