The Dynamic building was built in 1970 and U-Haul acquired the building in 2002. 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 2002, 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: 

• 14 tons of metal manufacturing & transportation prevented 
• 45 tons of new concrete pours avoided 
• 61 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 Coram community: 

• 74,266 lbs greenhouse gas emissions prevented 

• 

  Steel Production 14 tons (13 tonnes) of steel manufacturing and delivery saved to date

• 

  Concrete 45 tons (41 tonnes) of new concrete pours avoided to date

• 

  Emissions 74,266 lbs (33,687 kgs) of greenhouse gas emissions prevented

• 

  Landfill Debris 61 lbs (28 kgs) of construction debris prevented
