The Frances Penrose Owen Science and Engineering Library serves the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, the College of Sciences and the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences on the Pullman campus of Washington State University.
When the Owen Library was opened in 1977, it was planned to be a building that would never need to physically expand. Librarians and teaching faculty of the day thought that the use of microforms would create a library collection that would grow in volume at an extremely slow rate. Instead, electronic materials, principally electronic journals, are starting to make this goal more reachable, despite large increases in our holdings of printed books and journals over the years. These electronic materials also allow WSU students, faculty and staff to use more and more of Owen’s collections 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether they are on campus or elsewhere in the state
Mostly reports and proposals on campus planning and the development of buildings related to various science programs from about 1982-1993. Items also include reports on environmental impact and necessary regulations of buildings.
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.
Contains reports related to the development and regulation of buildings on the WSU Pullman campus. Items are in their original organization.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions apply.
