24th Annual Historic Preservation Symposium
Since 2000, the CHC has sponsored an annual symposium on historic preservation that attracts faculty, students, and historic preservation professionals from around Texas and beyond.
Designing Performing Arts Spaces
Lecture by Adam Shalleck, FAIA, Principal and President of The Shalleck Collaborative
Friday, March 3, 2023 4:00 p.m. | ILCB Room 205
Before attending the symposium, hear from Adam Shalleck on designing performing arts spaces. Everyone is welcome to attend and no registration in required.
Saving Social Spaces
Geren Auditorium (ARCb 101), Langford Architecture Complex, Texas A&M University
Saturday, March 4, 2023, 8 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Historically, the social spaces where people gather and interact served as mechanisms for individual and collective expression. Regardless of size, scale, or context, these spaces reflected an area’s or region’s cultural identities through explicit and implicit association with form and function. But what happens when internal societal trends or external forces such as the recent global pandemic alter traditional interactions and associations that have come to define these spaces? Our invited presenters will discuss these, and other topics related to Saving Social Spaces in the context of various building and site typologies and their unique uses.

Student Research and Project Poster Session
The Center for Heritage Conservation encourages attending students to submit posters on new and emerging preservation projects and research. The student poster session will be displayed throughout the symposium, with time provided during lunch to discuss their research with symposium participants and attendees. Posters need to be 36″x24″ (landscape orientation) and should be printed ahead of time and brought to the symposium for display. Thumbtacks will be provided.
Following the student poster session and before the afternoon sessions, participants and attendees are invited to attend the Texas Chapter of the Association for Presentation Technology International (APT Texas) for their Annual Meeting. Please note you do not need to be an APTI member to attend the APT Texas Meeting.
