The Master of Science (M.S.) with a major in Architecture and a concentration in Preservation Technology explores the enhanced potential of HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling) as a tool for creating and managing digital archives, integrating environmental monitoring, and enacting proactive preservation. The program emphasizes the importance of iterative and experimental data captures, utilizing terrestrial and aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry, non-destructive evaluation, and analog documentation. The concentration primarily focuses on the use of cutting-edge technologies and advanced workflows for data management and analysis, supporting sustainably minded conservation. The program also explores the fundamentals within the history and theory of preservation, as well as alternative methodologies for advancing heritage advocacy, interactive historic interpretation, and expanded public engagement. 
Students interact with myriad fieldwork, archival integrations, applied visualizations, and burgeoning processes for incorporating AI and machine learning into historic site documentation, modeling, and analysis, investigating a range of treatments from preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation to hybrid physical and digital methods for reconstruction. 
The program is designed to be completed in one year. It fosters a dynamic cohort composed of candidates from backgrounds such as architecture, environmental design, architectural and civil engineering, computer science, and history. This focus prepares graduates for advanced applied practice, community-engaged research, and PhD candidacy.
