School's in for summer

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has announced the programme for its forthcoming heritage summer school. 

One in five buildings in the UK date from before 1914, meaning that surveyors of all disciplines are more than likely to encounter such buildings as part of their daily work. Advising clients on traditional and listed buildings can no longer be dismissed as a niche area but is instead becoming a part of surveyors’ mainstream practice. It is essential therefore that you fully understand building conservation and surveying techniques for historic and listed properties to allow you to meet the demands of this changing market and ensure you are able to operate with due care and diligence.

Now in its 15th year, this unique, hands on programme gives attendees a vital introduction to building conservation, with a view to ensuring that those that conserve our nation’s heritage will have the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to ensure its protection.

The school takes place from 16-20 September at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
