Abstract
The key element to good space management is awareness of its historical development throughout history in particular that of his physical structure. Contemporary issues of less energy and economy expenses but greater ecology benefits, lead to greater involvement of the existing historic and abandoned structures in the process of city structure planning.The buildings were examined showing methods for achieving sustainability of the built environment by their re-use in the future. The paper analyses the historic, functional, structural and other aspects within revitalization of existing buildings for the purpose of student housing. The case study indicates potential for adaptation and strongly examines the idea of refurbishment rather then re-development of the existing buildings on the site and in its surroundings.The results indicate the re-use of existing building fund to accomplish various reimbursements, which promote cultural and historic sustainability and help in promoting architectural values along with practical extension of building life
