WELCOME
The Center for Preservation and Adaptive Reuse (CPAR) is a research, education and advocacy center that recognizes the value of our existing historic and non-historic buildings. The center produces innovative research, advances knowledge, and promotes educational initiatives addressing the reuse and preservation of the built environment at all scales.
Our Mission
The Center for Preservation and Adaptive Reuse (CPAR), in the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington, seeks to support innovative interdisciplinary research, advocacy and education of our existing, historic and culturally rich built environments. Realizing that preserving and adapting our built fabric is both socially and environmentally sustainable, the center seeks to find new, innovative and collaborative methods to address how we can preserve and reuse our diverse built environments for more vibrant cities, towns and landscapes.
