Adaptive Reuse - The New Church of Scientology of Boston Building

The new Church of Scientology of Boston Building
The Church of Scientology of Boston has purchased a really cool Boston landmark as its new headquarters. The Alexandra Hotel was first opened in 1875 and the Church plans to fully restore it to its former glory.

The type of renovation work the Church will do is known as "adaptive reuse," which means retaining the classic features of historic buildings while converting them for new uses. I guess you could call it "recycling" but on a grand scale.

"Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow." — Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard
