Decommissioning has been around as long as commissioning, yet not many engineers know about the benefits we can obtain and the risks we can avoid through this practice. This case study investigates the exterior and interior of a school, identifying risks and findings with over 10 hazardous material categories that will help engineers create a more ideal demolition. This study will include all aspects of making sure an efficient decommissioning process is performed. Finally, this presentation will create a template for engineers to use in practice since decommissioning does not have universal guidelines set by any national associations.
