The Camper City building was built in 1973 and U-Haul acquired the building in 1987. Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction. 

Serving U-Haul customers since 1987, this facility was built through adaptive reuse of an abandoned building. Adaptive Reuse promotes infill development in an effort to strengthen communities, with the following benefits achieved at this site: 

• 134 tons of metal manufacturing & transportation prevented 
• 1,516 tons of new concrete pours avoided 
• 1,668 tons of construction and demolition debris prevented 

Energy-efficiency and waste-reduction programs at this facility provide the following estimated benefits each year for the Blaine community: 

• 1,149,739 lbs greenhouse gas emissions prevented 

• 

  Steel Production 134 tons (122 tonnes) of steel manufacturing and delivery saved to date
