Boston Business Journal reporter Grant Welker and photographer Gary Higgins visit the renovated Metropolitan Warehouse, now home to MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning, to learn more about how the 130-year-old storage facility was transformed. Prof. John Ochsendorf describes how the renovation process included preserving construction mementos such as strategic openings and cutaways that reveal historic “building archeology.” “We think of this building as a living laboratory for students,” says Ochsendorf. “It’s a teaching tool for future architects.”
