AIA Virginia's Historic Resources Committee

The Virginia Historic Resources Committee is a knowledge community of the AIA Virginia, comprised of people with an interest in historic architecture, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, and other history-related topics.

Mission

To identify, understand, and preserve architectural heritage within the Commonwealth of Virginia. VHRC is engaged in promoting the role of historic preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse within the profession through the development of information and knowledge among members, allied professional organizations, and the public.

Vision
