NEWPORT, New England

Speranza

Salve Regina University was the first New-England institution to receive a Getty Grant Program award to develop a Campus Heritage Preservation Plan. 

The Campus Heritage Preservation Plan includes a detailed review of twenty-one buildings comprising seven contiguous 19th-century estates that distinguish Salve Regina's historic campus. 

The plan includes full existing conditions reports, restorative plans and, where appropriate, comprehensive recommendations and plans for adaptive reuse

The plan has been integrated as the key component of several classes in the Cultural and Historic Preservation Program, as well as affording students countless opportunities for independent study.
In addition to the Getty Grant Program, Salve Regina's efforts have resulted in awards from:

The Newport Historical Society, the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Save America's Treasures Program

The Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission of the National Trust for Historic Preservation
