Historical NoteReturn to Top
In the early teens, architecture as a professional degree was offered at WSC. In 1916, the Washington state legislature passed a law which distributed professional programs between UW and WSC, and architecture became under the purview of UW. Non-degree courses in architecture were still offered, and by 1957, the College of Engineering had a degree program called Architectural Engineering, which allowed graduates the same route to architectural licensure as an accredited Architecture degree in Washington State alone.
In 1963, the Washington State Legislature passed a law (senate bill 285) that permitted Washington State University to offer degrees in both Architectural Engineering or Architecture. By 1975, the Department offered three degrees: Bachelor of Architecture, Architectural Studies, and Bachelor of Science in Building Theory and Practice. The NAAB accredited five-year B. Architecture degree was replaced with a one-year M. Architecture degree that directly followed the four-year unaccredited Bachelor of Architecture degree. A two, and later three, year accredited Master of Architecture followed.
A merged joint College of Engineering and Architecture was formed in 1984.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection consists of two large (25 inches x 20 inches) scrapbooks, each approximately 60 pages. The scrapbooks primarily contain newspaper clippings related to the research, outreach, and projects of the Washington State University Department of Architecture and its faculty.
Due to the age of the clippings and the glue used in pasting them into the scrapbooks, many of the clippings are coming loose. Care should be used in moving and in opening these volumes.
