The North Carolina Buildings Collection includes drawings, specifications, construction contracts, and correspondence relating to individual buildings in North Carolina. Unbuilt projects are included. The finding aid contains a description for each project, including the name of the architect(s), a brief description of the project, and an inventory of documents. Projects are arranged by type of building. The late 19th century saw radical changes in building practices in North Carolina, brought about by the rise of professional architects and contractors, increased industrialization, and the standardization of building components. Population booms between 1900 and 1940 precipitated increased construction, and suburbs emerged where major cities doubled or tripled their populations during this period. Increasingly, professional architects were responsible for the design of housing, as well as commercial, industrial and civic buildings. In 1905, North Carolina became one of the earliest states to enact a uniform building code. The North Carolina Architectural Association (NCAA) was formed by a group of Charlotte architects in 1909. Their aims were ultimately to form a North Carolina Chapter of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and to promote the passage of an architectural Practice Act Bill in the General Assembly. The North Carolina Chapter of AIA, chartered in 1913, regulated fees to eliminate unfair competition and provided a code of ethics for professional standards. The Practice Act Bill, ratified in 1915, provided for the examination and licensing of architects. A similar "Act to Regulate the Practice of General Contracting," passed in 1925, regulated the construction industry. Regulation of architectural and building industries led to increased uniformity in working drawings and specifications for buildings, as national industry standards for drafting and construction were followed. Still largely rural and conservative following World War II, North Carolina nevertheless made rapid economic and architectural progress. The 1950s found the state on the cutting edge of architectural development, as the internationally renowned faculty of the School of Design at North Carolina State College vigorously promoted modernism as the only "correct" style. Modernism was embraced for governmental and institutional buildings, while housing remained, for the most part, rooted in traditional forms. Less

This 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.

The university settled on the idea of creating Centennial Campus, a "technopolis" where university units, governmental entities, and private industry could share facilities and collaborate on projects. From 1988 to 2000 Claude E. McKinney served as coordinator of Centennial Campus and shaped its development. Since beginning its operation, the campus has attracted a variety of prominent tenants, including ABB, Red Hat, Inc., and the National Weather Service and it has become home to the College of Textiles and the College of Engineering.
