In 1991, WSU renovated its historic Carpenter Hall and rededicated it for the School of Architecture. Robert Weaver, the first head of the Architecture department, designed the original Mechanic Arts Building, which was constructed ca. 1915 (due to various restrictions, it was not fully completed until 1926). It received its current name in 1949, in honor of Hubert Vincent Carpenter, former Dean for the College of Mechanic Arts. In 1990, the university began renovations and held a rededication ceremony on April 25, 1992.

This collection was likely the personal files of Professor Robert Allen, event coordinator. It consists of documentation created in preparation for the rededication ceremony, including planning and the history of Carpenter Hall.

The collection was rearranged into a subject-based organization, with documents relating to the planning of the rededication ceremony preceding items relating to the history of Carpenter Hall.

This collection is open and available for research use.
