In this article from Planning for Higher Education, Claire L. Turcotte, a member of the research team, writes about ten themes commonly reported back to the Getty Foundation from the 86 campuses which undertook campus heritage preservation planning initiatives.

• Architectural style
• Importance of landscape
• Stewardship of the land
• Adaptive Reuse
• Mid-20th century buildings
• Importance of additional design elements
• Use of students
• Development of systems used to evaluate and prioritize landscapes and buildings

[T]he Getty program was not intended to be prescriptive -- that it was formulated on the understanding that different campus constituencies have different takes on design issues, a key theme of the Chicago roundtable.

As a result, what is most striking about the Campus Heritage Initiative is the range of settings it has covered. These include older, moneyed academies like Brown, Bryn Mawr and Middlebury with stylistically variegated campuses; architecturally distinguished state institutions from coast to coast; and several historically black institutions in the South where simple Georgian architecture has traditionally predominated. New York University, Boston's Emerson College and the Savannah, Ga., College of Art and Design have received grants largely or exclusively targeting originally nonacademic buildings they have acquired in historic districts. The initiative also has funded historical research on and the development of conservation strategies for noted landscapes at numerous schools besides Berkeley -- from Pittsburgh's Chatham College, a small women's institution, to the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
