Warren Lasch Conservation Center
edit
The Warren Lasch Conservation Center was established in 2000 for the conservation and restoration of the submarine H.L. Hunley. The namesake of the building is Warren F. Lasch, who was chairman of Friends of the Hunley during the Hunley's recovery. The Hunley is housed in a specially-designed tank of sodium hydroxide.[1] The center became part of Clemson in 2004, and its scope expanded into research of various metal and architectural conservation topics.[2]
