Join Bruce Redman Becker for a virtual talk that explores the challenges and lessons-learned in transforming the Marcel Breuer-designed Armstrong Rubber Company Building (aka Pirelli Building) into Hotel Marcel, a 165-room boutique hotel that serves as a model for sustainable hospitality. The transformation of this former office building and laboratory, designed by Breuer in 1967 and completed in 1970, addresses long-standing preservation and economic development priorities for this prominent New Haven, CT landmark that had been left vacant for two decades. Hotel Marcel will qualify as the first Passive House-certified hotel in the United States.
