In 1980, H. Summerfield Day, the former University Architect (1966-1975) and Planning Coordinator (1975-1980), competed the history of Iowa State University's buildings and grounds. This massive undertaking took him and his assistants twelve years to complete. The book contains information on virtually every building or structure that had been built on the Iowa State University campus prior to 1979.
Iowa State College solicited a report from the Olmsted Brothers in 1906 regarding future plans for the campus. Although their plan was not adopted by the Board of Trustees or Iowa State College faculty, it did influence the locating of several buildings, such as Agricultural (Curtiss) Hall and State Gym. Document is from Public Grounds Committee Records, RS 8/6/69. Additional information about this report can be found in the A.B. Storms Papers, RS 2/6 and the Department of Horticulture Subject Files, RS 9/16/1.
