Measurable Outcome(s)

All of our targets were achieved and some of them exceeded. The number of public documents at the Sacred Heart Area Museum that are relevant to Hotel Sacred Heart increased during the project more than expected. The survey of 20 participants at project start and again at project end showed an increase in knowledge of reuse studies. The number of donors to the Hotel Sacred Heart project exceeded the target of 20 by over 4 times. Although 102 local area residents completed the community survey, several were rejected bringing the total below the target. The lower count can be contributed in part to health issues of the individual in charge of the survey which resulted in lack of communication with the PI and SHAHS. Our determination and communication with the PI on a regular basis helped to achieve the desired results.
