Abstract
This collection contains records of the Iowa State University Department of Architecture. It contains accreditation reports, correspondence files, faculty meeting minutes and related materials, reports, information on departmental scholarships and awards, and a departmental student handbook. |
Historical note
Courses in architectural engineering and structural design emerged from drafting and drawing coursework in the civil engineering curriculum at Iowa State College (University). In 1914, the Division of Engineering established a Department of Structural Design to meet the demand for trained architectural engineers and to develop a rural architecture program for the state. In 1918, the name of the department changed to the Department of Architectural Engineering and then to the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering in 1945. The name changed to its present form in 1967, the same year the department was included in the newly established Design Center, predecessor to the College of Design. Allen H. Kimball was the first head of the department and served in this capacity for over 30 years. The department first offered courses for the Master of Architecture degree in 1965. The Department of Architecture was one of the original academic programs incorporated into the College of Design when it was organized in 1978. |
