What Washington State Can Learn from Christchurch
March 12, 12:00-1:00 pm
With 2026 marking the 15th anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake, hear from experts about the effects upon the city’s landmarks and historic fabric, then and now, and how we can apply those lessons to our own unreinforced masonry buildings in Washington State.
Preservation + Building Performance Standards
April 23, 12:00-1:00 pm
Learn about the intersection of preservation and a new wave of policy tools known as Building Performance Standards, which require commercial and multifamily buildings to meet certain performance levels, typically for energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
Funding Sources for Preservation Rehab Projects
Date TBD – May 2026
Details and registration coming soon!
