In the Senior Capstone, student of different academic backgrounds work together to complete an actual restoration project. Students learn about planning, design, installation, and monitoring of a restoration project using a team environment. The Capstone spans three academic quarters. The student proposal is reviewed by faculty and the client. If the proposal is a fit for our program and the client, the students prepare a detailed work plan.
Students then proceed with installation, usually with assistance from volunteers and the client.
Students prepare a maintenance and monitoring plan. As the final step, the client is trained on the plan to ensure the highest probability of restoration success.
