Upcoming Workshop
Basic Preservation for the Non-Engineer
Thursday | Oct. 14 | 1–5 p.m.
DeLaney Farm | Aurora
$50 member | $65 nonmember
Colorado Preservation, Inc. partners with JVA, Inc. for an afternoon of learning engineering concerns and strategies for the non-engineer at DeLaney Farm Historic District in Aurora, specifically at the Loafing Shed and Education Barn. This is a unique opportunity to see an exposed structure with a completed project and another that needs future work.
This workshop brings structural engineers specializing in historic structures and walks participants through the diagnostic process used to evaluate existing buildings and make treatment recommendations. The presenters will cover the process from beginning to end and use case studies to illustrate key concepts. The workshop provides stewards tools to understand their buildings and determine when to engage design professionals.
This workshop is approved for 4.0 LU credits through American Institute of Architects.
