PROJECT INTRODUCTION
![Page 6: Center for Coastal Heritage](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bdf731a28ab2034bd1c22/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
As Galveston recovers after the 2008 Hurricane Ike disaster, the Galveston Historical Foundation focuses
its preservation efforts on rebuilding and reinforcing the island’s surviving structures, historic documents,
and unique coastal culture. In the fulfillment of these initiatives, the GHF operates, among many other
preservation programs, the Preservation Resource Center, located at the GHF’s main office at the re-
cently rehabilitated and adapted Federal Customs House, and the Architectural Salvage Warehouse, run
out of an adapted house off Broadway. The GHF plans to consolidate these services under one roof by
adapting the historic Sears building at Broadway and 23rd Street. The new Center for Coastal Heritage
supports Galvestonian’s efforts in cultural procurement and post-disaster rehabilitation through re-
furbishing reclaimed building materials, though informative classes in rehabilitation and conservation,
and by maintaining a museum archive of historic documents, books, and artifacts unique to Galveston.

This document builds upon the 2011 UTSA Galves-ton Field School study of the same site and similar program for the GHF. The previous project docu-mented the history of the Sears building and a return to its original facades, the GHF’s archival storage needs, and the operation of the Salvage Warehouse. Over the next year, the GHF refined its vision of the Center for Coastal Heritage to include, in addition to the aforementioned programs, a preservation labora-tory and a field school suite for partnering collegiate institutions. Also, building upon the sustainable initi-tiatives implemented in the GHF’s Green Revival residential project (right), the foundation wants this adaptive use project to serve as an example of how commercial businesses can incorporate sustain-able technologies and practices into their projects.

Wind Power PV PODS
The PODS allow for rapid setup and rapid dismantle, ideal for storm preparedness and quick energy for disaster relief. The photovoltaic array is mounted on a network of water filled ballasts that rest atop of the existing roof surface
E L E C T R I C I T Y
Wind generators placed on the roof top will supply the building with power. The Quiet Revolution wind turbine has a vertical axis that produces minimal amount of noise and performs well in low wind velocity

Water Catchment System Solar Hot Water System
W A T E R
Cisterns will be located near the East parking lot. They will provide for water collection to irrigate landscaping
By taking advantage of the sun, solar tube collectors can be utilized to provide passive means to heat water throughout the building

Tubular SkylightsWindows
D A Y L I G H T I N G
In place of the current non-historic translucent windows, new energy efficient wood sash windows similar to the original Sears building windows will be installed
Incorporating tubular skylights will allow the core of the building to obtain natural sunlight and minimize the use of electrical lighting

Local Materials Promotion of Adaptive use
H I S T O R I C M A T E R I A L S
Restoration of the Sears building and reuse of materials found in the island provide residents a local building resource. In addition,ample existing storefront windows allow opportunities for display of unique product offerings
Preserving the historic integrity of structures found on Galveston island allows for the community to be self sufficient in the sourcing of materials

Permeable Paving
T R A N S P O R T A T I O N
Water Run Off
Mitigates storm water run off and reduces heat island effect from paved surfaces. In areas where larger vehicles frequent, bricks with minimal surface areas will be incorporated.
A vegetated buffer zone will serve as an at grade transition area that will allow for excess water to gradually seep into the water table

fixtures. Shower facilities are also available for commuter comfort

Vegetation
Vegetation on the roof surface acts as a natural radiant barrier for the building envelope. The sofened surface doubles in function serving as social space for community events
Local vegetation is proposed for the roof top and parking area to minimize the amount of water necessary to maintain the landscape
