You can either demolish a building and rebuild it elsewhere, move the structure piece-by-piece, or use specialized robotic legs. Engineers in China chose the latter, and attached 198 robotic legs onto the bottom of an 85-year-old historical school building in Shanghai. In the span of around 3-weeks, it managed to move 62 meters, a few inches at a time. These legs mimicked human feet and this walking function saved them 20% more time compared to other methods.
Lagena Primary School was originally built in 1935 and just recently, it required the move to make way for a new commercial center. A structure of this size requires lots of room to get around, but fortunately, they were able to slightly rotate the building to make it all fit in the end.

We will transform the school into a building integrating cultural education and intangible heritage preservation, involving both culture and innovation,. We hope to revitalize the old building,” said Li Jianfeng, general manager of the project.
