Book excerpt: Adaptive reuse is a preservation tool that goes beyond the bounds of historic designation via local or state landmark status or National Register of Historic Places distinction. It preserves buildings and the memories associated with them, and at the same time provides economic, environmental, and social benefits. In the case of Noble Elementary School in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, adaptive reuse is currently one of the only options for its preservation due to its ineligibility for the National Register. This thesis unveils the history of Cleveland Heights, the Noble neighborhood, and Noble Elementary School; the feasibility assessment for Noble Elementary School based on Donovan Rypkema's Feasibility Assessment Manual for Reusing Historic Buildings; case studies and reuse examples that help determine possible reuse plans for Noble Elementary School; and final recommendations. Ultimately, the feasibility assessment is a relevant planning tool that can help preserve the school beyond the realms of historic designation.
