Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project Id	3326
Project Name	Casino Palace, Poland
Description	The building was built at the beginning of the XX century with the thought of residents of the city in mind – it was supposed to be a place of rest and play. During the II World War it became a hospital for the wounded and after that, it was a school and a holiday resort. In the 1990’s it became abandoned and was facing complete destruction since there was no money to renovate it. The city wanted to sell it to private owners but thanks to the work of a group of citizens who managed to find money for renovation it became a cultural centre for the city and this is the function that it plays until today.
Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project	Space for new local initiatives, not only in a physical sense, but also creating a favourable atmosphere. Preservation of a building valued by the community (bootom-up processes). Getting a big part of the neighbourhood invested in the preservation/construction work. Creation of new work places.
