Collection material in English
In 1925, as part of the work of the University Plan Commission, the architectural
firm of York and Sawyer proposed a new group of engineering buildings to replace
East Sibley, Lincoln, and Franklin Halls. In 1937, Shreve, Lamb and Harmon again
designed a cluster of new Engineering buildings for that site. In 1941, however, the
university administration and trustees decided to relocate the Engineering College
to its current location south of Barnes Hall and Sage College. Olin Hall
incorporated some of the elements of the Shreve, Lambe and Harmon design, as did
Kimball and Thurston Halls. The rest of the new Engineering Quad was designed by
Perkins and Will.
