A group of Texas A&M university studies<\/a> majors recently traded sidewalks for sand dunes and classroom seats for salty ocean air while they learned how to document historic buildings in Barbados<\/a> this past summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students, led by Brent Fortenberry, assistant professor of architecture, were aided by the Barbados National Trust<\/a>, which preserves and protects the natural and artistic heritage of the Caribbean island nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents were introduced to new technology used to document the built environment and provided with a toolkit to document any historic building,\u201d said Fortenberry, associate director of the Center for Heritage Conservation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
