Resumen
University Centers combined with specialized degree programs may provide a framework for faculty and students to engage in traditional and applied research and hands-on learning across disciplines. This paper will present a case study of the Center of Preservation Research development and its connection to students in the Master of Science in Historic Preservation program to create an experiential learning model. The focus is on educating the next generation of preservation practitioners, fostering an understanding of the region's historic environments and cultural landscapes, and becoming a resource for addressing preservation needs throughout the American West. Emphases are on the organization's development, structure and administration, areas of research activities and funding, and examples of projects that emerged from regional needs, classroom pedagogy, and partnerships with a broad external constituency in the public and private sectors, creating a nexus for discourse around heritage and historic preservation.
