Seminar Overview
The physical treatment of a structure is the bottom line in keeping a building standing and in good repair. This nuts-and-bolts seminar addresses how to read your historic structure, search for solutions, and then care for the building envelope. Topics discussed include how to meet basic maintenance requirements; replace HVAC, fire, and security systems; implement pest management programs; and make your building accessible. Learn the fundamentals of hiring contractors, training custodial personnel, and understanding the role of other professionals who work in, on, and around the building. Review the significance of maintenance and disaster plans.
