Build Reuse Conference 2025

The Build Reuse Conference, the only conference in North America focused on reuse in built environments, is coming to St. Paul, organised with the assistance of an MCAD Master's in Sustainable Design student. A link to register for the conference is provided below, and students, including graduate students, get a discount of $20 for all three days of the convention.

The keynote speaker this year is Carl Elefante, world-renowned sustainable designer, preservationist, and coiner of the phrase, “the greenest building is one that is already built.” The conventions will hold various sessions focusing on developing a circular economy, and materials innovations, including Wood Resuse Wednesday, a whole day dedicated to salvaged lumber policy and reuse potential.
