The Institute of Architectural Engineering Heritage is currently working with the Guadalupe and Lilia Martinez Foundation to document the historic structures of Rancho La Union®, and create an improvement plan for its headquarters. Concurrently, a student surveying team is collecting preliminary data to create a restoration plan for an earthen dam, dating back to the mid 1800’s, located on the site. As these projects conclude, an archaeological team will conduct a Phase I Archeological Study of areas identified for construction of facility improvements.
