Morris Building

In December 2009, a coalition of groups - including the Ecology Action Centre, Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia and HRM Heritage Planning - moved one of Halifax's oldest buildings in order to save it from demolition. The Morris Building Project represents a new way of approaching building and communities today, one which while celebrating heritage values, also speaks to the enormous environmental benefits embodied in adaptive reuse of existing buildings. It is an inspiring example of how we can address issues of energy efficiencies and sustainability through their preservation.
