Adaptive reuse is a growing trend focused on repurposing existing structures for new uses, rather than demolition. This approach promotes sustainability and preserves historical and cultural heritage. Petitions under this topic advocate for converting old buildings into affordable housing, community spaces, or innovative businesses, instead of tearing them down. One petition highlights the environmental benefits of adaptive reuse, citing the reduction in construction waste and carbon emissions. Another petition calls for government incentives to encourage developers to prioritize adaptive reuse over new construction. By supporting these petitions, you can contribute to creating more vibrant and sustainable communities while preserving the character of our built environment. Take action now to help shape a more sustainable future through adaptive reuse initiatives.

Please help spare this important work of architecture. It truly is a rare example of South Texan, Mexican/American Brutalism. One of the last great structures of HemisFair ‘68. Let’s not let downtown be a skyline of sports venues and Margarita bars.
It is important to learn about and care for our culture and communities. This is what the ITC has done for me, my family, and many children of San Antonio. I have faith that this is also still a mission of UTSA and hope ITC will be preserved as part of this shared community spirit.
This is more than a historic building. This was a museum sharing the cultures and histories of the various ethnic groups that make up the early history of San Antonio. The common history shared by all of us who live here. A unique experience that will be lost to future generations. It's not always about making more money. Not everyone is a sports fan.
There are so many creative possibilities for this building and site that would honor the history and culture of Denver while keeping this absolute treasure. (Picture turning the smokestack to an outdoor rock climbing tower.) Once it's gone, it's gone forever.
