CIC’s Historic Campus Architecture Project (HCAP) website has been revised significantly since its launch in November 2006, with the inclusion of more than 500 new images from 23 additional institutions. HCAP is the first nationwide architecture and landscape database of independent college and university campuses (www.cic.edu/hcap).

The HCAP website now features approximately 5,000 images relating to 2,100 significant buildings and heritage sites from a total of 389 participating colleges and universities. In addition, since the site’s launch, 46 participating campuses have updated the information about their historic sites. The display of data on the HCAP website has also been revised—it now includes more in-depth information about landscape sites, campus arrangements, and building groups than had previously been possible on the early web versions of the project.

The 23 new institutions include Albright College (PA), California Lutheran University, Carroll College (WI), Chowan University (NC), Claflin University (SC), Clarkson University (NE), Columbia College Chicago (IL), Culver-Stockton College (MO), DePaul University (IL), Hanover College (IN), Immaculata University (PA), John Brown University (AR), Lebanon Valley College (PA), Lincoln Memorial University (TN), Milligan College (TN), Mills College (CA), Mount Vernon Nazarene University (OH), Naropa University (CO), Northwestern College (MN), Saint Joseph College (CT), Trevecca Nazarene University (TN), Wheelock College (MA), and Willamette University (OR).

Barbara S. Christen, an architectural historian, has been leading the HCAP initiative since 2002. HCAP is supported by two generous grants from the Getty Foundation.
