STAR - Students Together Achieving Revitalization - Service Learning Project

STAR (Students Together Achieving Revitalization) is a partnership between the Office of Historic Preservation, the UTSA College of Architecture and San Antonio College, and local contractors to provide minor exterior home repairs and maintenance to homeowners within local historic districts. Graduate and undergraduate architecture students assist property owners with repairs to windows and screens, siding, and porches, as well as provide general yard maintenance and exterior painting. Several contractors have generously volunteered their time to work with students, and other sponsors have donated food, supplies, and funding.

Past STAR projects have assisted numerous homeowners in the Dignowity Hill and Tobin Hill Historic Districts. Check out our Past Events page for more information and photos of past S.T.A.R. projects.

The most recent STAR project focused again on the Tobin Hill Historic District and for the first time in the Five Points neighborhood. Students and contractors assisted homeowners for two weekends on March 24th-25th and March 31st-April 1st. See photos of the work done in both neighborhoods at the link below.
