MoreThe North Carolina State University Peru Project was a foreign assistance program in the South American country of Peru. It was North Carolina State College’s first major international activity. In 1953, the U.S. State Department invited the college’s School of Agriculture to explore the development of a program to provide technical assistance to the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture and one of the Peruvian colleges. The program officially began in January 1955, when R. W. Cummings headed a six-member team to the country. Cummings was succeeded by Jack Rigney. The project was renewed after the initial three-year period, and it was greatly expanded during the 1960s. By the time the project’s mission ended in 1973, 81 faculty members had worked in the country and 200 Peruvians had been trained in the United States. In 1982, the School (College) of Agriculture and Life Sciences was invited back to Peru to assist with agricultural research and extension. The North Carolina State Univeristy Peru Project records are comprised of correspondence, reports, manuals, newspaper clippings, photographs, newsletters, and other documents created and collected during the course of the project. Materials range in date from 1953 to 1995.

MoreThe North Carolina State University, College of Design Annual Reports (1966-2008) collection contains College of Design departmental and committee annual reports and annual plans. Several reports include accompanying memorandum. Most are typed reports, however few are pamphlets. Also included is one copy of the Student Publication of the College of Desgin, volume 33, 2008 and a floppy disk containing electronic files of the annual report, 1998-1999.

The North Carolina State University School of Design was established in 1948 with two original academic components: the Department of Architecture and the Department of Landscape Architecture. In the late 1950s the school added a third degree-granting unit, the Department of Product Design. In its early years, under the leadership of founding Dean Henry L. Kamphoefner, the School of Design experienced a remarkable period of creative and intellectual development. Designers and theorists such as Buckminster Fuller, Matthew Nowicki, Lewis Mumford, and Eduardo Catalano joined the faculty and helped build a reputation for innovation and experimentation. Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Louis I. Kahn, Pier Luigi Nervi, Charles Eames, Marcel Breuer, and numerous other internationally prominent figures came to lecture, to conduct design experiments, and to inspire a new generation of designers. The legacy of imagination, diversity, and excellence set by this first generation has continued throughout the school’s history.

The Center accomplished this goal through education and training, research projects, and its publications. Originally called the Center for Accessible Design, it was founded in 1989 by Ronald L. Mace, a pioneer in the field, who coined the term "universal design." By about 2008, the Center was no longer functioning.

MoreThis collection includes correspondence and miscellaneous documents from Richard R. Wilkinson's term as director of the landscape architecture program, including a copy of Edwin G. Thurlow's history of the Department of Landscape Architecture and materials related to a faculty search and the Land Policy Committee. This collection also includes instructional materials from landscape architecture and related design courses and correspondence regarding the Landscape Architecture Alumni Advisory Board. The Department of Landscape Architecture was an original component of North Carolina State University's College of Design, known at its founding in 1948 as the School of Architecture and Landscape Design. In 1927, Professor Joseph Plummer Pillsbury initiated a curriculum in landscape architecture in the Department of Horticulture. By 1942, the Division of Landscape Architecture within the Department of Horticulture offered a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture degree. When Henry Kamphoefner came to head the School of Design in 1948, he retained the three professors teaching in this division and made one of them, Edwin G. Thurlow, the department head. From its founding, the Department of Landscape Architecture in the School of Design offered the first five-year bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture in the country. The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) accredited the program in 1951. In 1968, North Carolina State University approved the Master of Landscape Architecture degree and replaced the five-year bachelor's degree with a four-year Bachelor in Environmental Design in Landscape Architecture degree. The ASLA accredited the Master of Landscape Architecture degree in 1972. The Department of Landscape Architecture reintroduced the five-year Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree in 1994. Early in its history, the department began its tradition of outreach to the local community and the state, as students contributed to projects in the city of Raleigh and throughout North Carolina.

MoreThis collection includes correspondence, memoranda, and instructional materials generated by the School of Architecture, as well as records generated by the Urban Design Program. The School of Architecture was an original component of North Carolina State University's College of Design, known at its founding in 1948 as the School of Architecture and Landscape Design. Before the Department of Architecture existed, North Carolina State College offered first a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree, and later, an Architecture degree, through the School of Engineering. In 1946, the board of trustees of the Consolidated University of North Carolina approved a School of Architecture and Landscape Design for State College in response to the post-World War II building boom. In 1948, the search committee hired Henry L. Kamphoefner, a University of Oklahoma architecture professor, to head the new school. Under Dean Kamphoefner, the Department of Architecture within the School of Design, as it soon came to be called, exerted broad influence on architectural design in North Carolina and the wider Southeast. In the 1960s, as architectural education began to focus more on urban and community design, the Department of Architecture established the Urban Design Program as a joint academic program with the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The name of the Department of Architecture changed to the School of Architecture in 2000, when the School of Design became the College of Design.
