In a novel approach to campus heritage planning at small colleges, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation will develop preservation plans for four institutions in Western Pennsylvania: Allegheny College, Geneva College, Grove City College, and Slippery Rock University. The four schools, located within 100 miles of Pittsburgh, exhibit a range of campus planning, academic buildings, and landscapes, that represent American architectural history both nationally and locally. Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation will coordinate a team that will assess 40 historic buildings on the four campuses, and create preservation plans for each school.

Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation received a Getty grant in 2005 for $185,000 to support campus heritage planning.
