of existing buildings, but also applies to the design and
construction of new structures. Participants in the RESTORE Two

craftworkers, contractors, cultural resource and facilities
managers, architectural conservators and preservationists. RESTORE
equips everyone on the jobsite to handle the complex preservation /
conservation problems they encounter daily in the field.

is $1,500, which includes lab fees, course materials and the RESTORE
Conservation Workbook. Graduates of the RESTORE Two-Semester Course
