March 6 thru April 24 - “How-To” Class Series for Spring - Galveston
Galveston Historical Foundation’s popular and informative spring class series starts Saturday, March 6, with “Sustainability and Historic Preservation: LEED Standards Applied to Your Historic Building.” Matthew Pelz, GHF’s Green Revival Project Coordinator, will explain the ways the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system and sustainable technologies can be incorporated into historic buildings.
“Education has always been an important part of our mission at GHF,” said Brian Davis, director of Preservation and Conservation Services, “and we continue to expand and strengthen our Saturday demonstration/presentation classes for the community. This year, our “Green Revival” theme will figure prominently in the Saturday classes.”
Presentations will take place on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m., and will usually last two hours. Seating may be limited, so reservations are suggested. Admission to the entire series is $45 for GHF members and $55 for non-members; Admission to individual classes is $10 for GHF members and $12 for non-members. All classes will be held at the GHF Architectural Salvage Warehouse at the Sealy Garage, second floor, 908 23rd Street .
