What Is a Historic Building Archive?
A Historic Building Archive is a structured, digital repository for storing and organizing legacy building documentation.
ARC Facilities enables organizations to:
- Preserve historic as-built drawings
- Store decades of renovation documentation
- Archive permits and inspection records
- Maintain contractor and consultant documentation
- Retain legacy CAD files and technical reports
All documentation is organized and searchable within a centralized system.
Built for Facilities with Long Operational Histories
Many facilities have operated for twenty, thirty, or even fifty years. Over time, documentation grows complex and scattered.
Historic Building Archive and Long Term Storage supports:
- Healthcare campuses
- Universities and school districts
- Government and municipal buildings
- Corporate campuses
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Stadiums and large venues
ARC Facilities scales across single properties or multi-campus portfolios.
Protect Critical Historical Records
Paper archives deteriorate. Digital files stored on local servers may be lost or forgotten.
With ARC Facilities, organizations can:
- Eliminate reliance on physical storage rooms
- Reduce risk from fire, flood, and environmental damage
- Centralize historical documentation securely
- Maintain continuity across leadership and staff transitions
Your building history remains intact and protected.
Make Historic Records Searchable and Usable
Archived documents should not be buried in folders.
ARC Facilities applies optical character recognition and structured metadata so teams can:
- Search historic drawings by keyword
- Locate permits and inspection records quickly
- Filter documents by building, system, or date
- Perform global searches across campuses
Historical information becomes instantly accessible.
Support Renovations and Capital Planning
Historic documentation is essential for future improvements.
A structured building archive helps teams:
- Prepare for renovations with accurate legacy drawings
- Understand previous system modifications
- Identify infrastructure changes over time
- Support capital project planning
Better historical visibility leads to better decision making.
Preserve Institutional Knowledge
As experienced staff retire or move on, historical knowledge can disappear.
Historic Building Archive and Long Term Storage allows organizations to:
- Capture decades of building intelligence
- Maintain consistent documentation standards
- Support onboarding of new facility leaders
- Ensure continuity across generations of teams
Your building knowledge stays with the organization.
