Miami University report to the Getty (PDF) 40MB

Chartered in 1809, Miami University in southwestern Ohio is a 1,900-acre campus with 100 buildings, two of which are designated National Historic Landmarks, and several more, along with two historic districts, are listed on the National Register. While the university has been a responsible steward of its extensive architectural heritage, until now there has been no systematic building inventory or centralized archive for information on the school's historic architecture and landscapes. As part of the preparations for its upcoming centennial, the university is undertaking a comprehensive inventory of the eighty-one historic buildings constructed prior to 1960, leading to a new preservation plan for the campus.

Miami University received a Getty grant in 2007 for $90,000 to support campus heritage planning.
