Strawberry Rhubarb Porridge

“Presently we saw a curious thing: There were no clouds, the sun was going down in a limpid, gold-washed sky. Just as the lower edge of the red disc rested on the high fields against the horizon, a great black figure suddenly appeared on the face of the sun… the handles, the tongue, the share—black against the molten red. The fields below us were dark, and the sky was growing pale, and that forgotten plough had sunk back to its own littleness somewhere on the prairie.” — Willa Cather (My Antonia, 1918)

Renovation Standards

The key standards distinguishing building renovations (alterations, repairs, or rehabilitation) from new building construction primarily come from the model code stacks of the International Code Council, the National Fire Protection Association, ASHRAE International, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and the embedded product standards by ASTM International, Underwriters Laboratories and others we track routinely.

There are others, notably the FEMA “50 percent” rule informed by National Flood Insurance Program regulation applying to buildings in flood-prone areas. It governs renovation, repair, and improvement projects by defining “substantial improvement” or “substantial damage” as any work where costs equal or exceed 50% of the structure’s pre-improvement (or pre-damage) market value (excluding land value).

The “50 percent” rule does not exist in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations in the same way as FEMA’s flood-related 50% threshold for substantial improvement/damage. Instead, ADA alterations (under Title III for public accommodations and commercial facilities, and Title II for public entities) use a 20% disproportionate cost threshold for certain requirements.  
 

Sustainability objectives also shape the scope of building renovation projects by expanding beyond basic repairs or cosmetic updates to encompass holistic, long-term performance improvements across environmental, economic, and social dimensions.

Delta Upsilon Fraternity House (1331 Hill Street)

Chartered in 1876, and having outgrown its home by the early 1900s, its alumni hired Detroit architect Albert Kahn for his earliest surviving non-industrial, non-commercial commissions.  Kahn created a handsome 2½-story Tudor Revival building with half-timbered stucco exterior, slate roof, prominent gables.  It pioneered the shift of fraternities to Hill Street, inspiring many others to follow.  The house has been continuously occupied by the fraternity since completion—the oldest such in Ann Arbor. It earned National Register of Historic Places listing in 1995.
