The SCUP Campus Heritage Network

The Society has recently begun work on a $300,000+ grant from the Getty Grant Foundation to analyze and publish lessons learned from the reports back to the Getty from the 85 campuses that, during 2001-2007 received grants for campus heritage planning work. As the initial part of that work, we've launched the Campus Heritage Network, intended to be an online community which will, over time, gather together all those interested in preserving the heritage buildings, landscapes, and sites on our college and university campuses. You can find more information by visiting www.campusheritage.org. If you wish to stay in touch with the project as it develops, please take the time to register with the network and become a member of it. Former SCUP president L. Carole Wharton is the lead researcher and project head. She will attend the 2009 meeting of the Association of University Architects in June, to bring that group up to date on the project, and will also present a related concurrent session at SCUP–44 in Portland.
