In the nation's capital, come learn how the 117th U.S. Congress, through its passage of the 2022 and 2023 Consolidated Appropriation Acts, has ensured the rightful recognition and preservation of previously undiscovered architectural gems of the Modern Movement that characterize the American college campus of the last century. Get acquainted with how one federal agency's multi-million dollar grant program has been able to effectively ensure preservation of Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist and International style learning and research facilities that may otherwise not have been saved. Hear from and how academic, federal and state officials coordinated efforts to successfully facilitate this unique program for the public benefit and outreach.
