Research
The Historic Preservation program has established two institutions to compliment the educational focus of the academic program furthering students' experience in practical preservation /conservation site work and the development and research of policy issues. The Architectural Conservation Laboratory, through cooperative agreements with other universities, institutions, and grant organizations allows students to conduct field work on culturally significant building throughout the world. The Center for Research on Preservation and Society provides a framework for the students to study, explore, and define the emerging relationship between preservation and larger social issues such as economic development, public policy, cultural criticism, and social justice.
