MoreArchitectural drawings, 1951-1986, of buildings at Campbell College in Buies Creek, North Carolina, at North Carolina State University, and other buildings. Raymond Cecil Sawyer (1925-2018) was a modernist architect, who practiced mainly in North Carolina. After graduating from N.C. State College's School of Design, Sawyer worked with Alfred Lublin in Norfolk, Virginia, and with Owen Smith and Jim Webb before returning to Raleigh to work with Terry Waugh, becoming an associate and then partner. When Waugh returned to the faculty of the NC State University School of Design, Sawyer formed his own private practice, designing homes and other buildings. Sawyer worked on numerous projects at NC State University, including the University Theater. He also worked on projects around North Carolina, designing the Historic Bath Visitor Center and the gunboat cradle for the CSS Neuse, a Confederate ship in Kinston, North Carolina. He designed projects for Campbell University, Hillyer Memorial Christian Church, and, as a member of the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, designed hospital units throughout the state. Sawyer retired from the Medical Care Commission in 1992.
