The conference was so successful with over 1,200 attendees, that NEA awarded CPB a seed grant to develop a second conference, devoted mainly to the development of workshops held nationwide. Worked on a committee to address problems and proposed solutions for the evaluation, operation and maintenance of older buildings in the context of deteriorating national resources and a decaying building stock. The procedures are linked to specific building conditions assessment files in the same computer program. The development of a source book of relevant published articles on technical issues in historic preservation, maintenance and repair, to be used by the facilities staff at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Project is a modified application of the Fort Benning Maintenance Plans described earlier.
All material is custom designed to relate only to materials found at the installation.
CPB hosted the workshop, prepared a research agenda and new introductory material for the proposed new technical manual. Drafted a new outline and related sections of the manual. The workshops extended the benefits of the Washington, D.C. conference to a greater local audience nationwide and capture the information content developed for the national conference to make it available over a longer term. The project involved a review of housing maintenance contracts to identify issues which may lead to potential adverse effects on historic resources at Fort Riley, Kansas. A source list of needed materials and services was developed for the maintenance and repair of historic buildings at Fort Riley.
