The Office of Workforce Development is pleased to offer Historic Masonry Treatments and Repair, a non-credit course, for the Fall 2022 semester.
Are you a professional or student looking to expand your masonry knowledge to cover historic sites, a DIY-er with an old home, or are you simply interested in history and hands-on learning? You do not have to be a member of our college community to take this course. If you have friends or family whom you think would benefit from this course, they are welcome to register.
This course, offering in cooperation with the New York State Historic Preservation Office and Historic Albany Foundation, will provide participants with hands-on training in the traditional trade of masonry restoration including documentation, cleaning, pointing, repairing and coatings. In this course, students will:
- Plan and execute a masonry rehabilitation project with other members of the class
- Understand the treatment and repair process through lectures, observation, and hands-on repair at historic sites located in the Capital Region
- Gain understanding of masonry materials and their construction systems used in 19th and 20th century buildings and learn hands-on techniques for treatment and repair
