Professional Workshop Offered

The National Preservation Institute educates those involved in the management, preservation, and stewardship of cultural heritage across the nation. The advanced registration rate for the Oct 7-9 Greensboro workshop on historic property management has been extended to September 4, 2014.

Historic property management combines preservation maintenance with modern systems management. Learn how to read your building, search for solutions, and then care for the building envelope by maintaining its historic materials. Explore how to balance the environmental needs of the building with its users. Understand the impacts on historic properties of pest management practices and mechanical building systems-HVAC, plumbing, fire, security, and lighting. Discuss how to train in-house staff and when to hire a specialist to identify a problem or a contractor to handle a specific task.
