1.50 ConEd Learning Hours
2:00p.m.-3:30p.m.

Resilience is imperative in conserving archives. Protecting fragile collections demands a high-performance, net-zero carbon envelope that stabilizes the environment, lowers energy, and endures centuries. The team behind LAC Gatineau 2 designed for a 500-year preservation mandate and 100-year building life while meeting strict federal targets. This session shows how design and preservation co-elevate, not compromise.

Learning Objectives
1. Define resilience in archival facilities to protect cultural memory.
2. Apply passive and engineered systems for the long term.
3. Demonstrate how architecture and site planning build cultural identity.
4. Integrate net-zero carbon strategies into mission-critical
archives.
