The University of North Carolina at Charlotte was approached by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, requesting student surveyors to participate in a Ônation-wideÕ building survey of older, smaller, commercial and mixed-use buildings. The surveyors volunteered for the position with a return of 3 credit hours earned toward their education. All students were or currently are seeking their Masters of Architecture, Òwith a strong interest in building classification, preservation, building reuse and/or sustainabilityÓ. The surveyors conducted the building survey using the survey website (www.greenlabsurvey.org) in combination with a printable copy of the survey and other associated supporting documents, including a survey handbook.
