The Center for Architecture and
Building Science Research (CABSR) was established in 1988 with support
from the State of New Jersey and was originally known as the Architecture
and Building Science Group. Ezra Ehrenkrantz, FAIA, was the founding
director.
At its inception, the Group's research focused on
building technology, educational facilities and housing. In the
early nineties, this focus expanded to include health care and aging,
historic preservation, developmental disabilities planning, and
infrastructure research. The emphasis throughout was on developing
practical, research-based guidance that would help individuals and
communities improve quality of life.
This tradition continues at CABSR today, where
the focus has narrowed - to five research programs instead of
seven - and the depth has expanded. The result is a well-established
center with a proven track record - a center that develops credible
resources for, and provides unique skills to, its local, regional
and national clients.
CABSR's ongoing mission is to create new knowledge
that will help individuals and communities make better-informed
decisions concerning the built environment.
Deane Evans, FAIA, is CABSR's current executive director.
