New Course/Training Opportunity at Athabasca University: Architectural Conservation - Fall 2018

Athabasca University’s Heritage Resources Management Program is pleased to announce that a new course, Architectural Conservation, is now accepting registrations for the 2018 Fall Semester (September 4 – December 13).
The course is entirely online with all course materials within the course. Full details of the course can be found here: http://www.athabascau.ca/syllabi/herm/herm673.php

The Architectural Conservation course offers an overview for those working with the built environment through architectural conservation, management, and policy. The course provides a basis in theory, history, values, and significance while offering Canadian and international perspectives. Importantly, it also introduces professional practice with practical examples from around the world.

Everyone is welcome to register in this course. Participants can take the course either as part of their university studies (3 credits) or for professional development (as a non-program student).

Mr. Rand Eppich will teach the Architectural Conservation course. He has worked as an international team leader/project manager in several projects related to physical conservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of cultural heritage, as well as projects related to urban and spatial design and the visitor experience (please see his full bio below).

In addition to this new course, Athabasca University also offers a range of other Heritage Resources Management classes, including HERM 542 which is also currently open for enrollment. Please note the deadline to register for these two classes is August 8, 2018. Full course lists are available on the program website: http://heritage.resources.athabascau.ca/graduate/courses/crsmaster/index.php
