Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Department of Facility Planning collection is comprised of approximately 800 sets of architectural drawings and plans for campus buildings at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. A small number of drawings are for buildings on the Gallup campus and for the University owned D. H. Lawrence Ranch outside Taos, New Mexico. Specific drawings include floor plans, elevations, mechanical and electrical plans, and detail drawings, as well as master plans, site plans, and landscaping plans. Highlights of the collection are numerous hand drawn pencil and color perspectives.
Many architectural firms worked with the Department of Facility Planning, formerly known as the Office of the University Architect. Collection architects include: Van Dorn Hooker, Joe Boehning; Dean Hunt & Associates; Ellison & Associates; Flatow, Moore, Bryan, Fairburn; Holien & Buckley; W. C. Kruger & Associates; Meem, Zehner, Holien and Associates; Antoine Predock; and Stevens, Mallory, Pearl & Campbell. The collection also contains plans by landscape architects Eckbo, Dean, Williams, and by Bridgers & Paxton, Engineers.
The earliest items are plat maps of the campus dated 1892. The earliest building plans are for the original Chemistry Building designed by Francis Barry Byrne in 1916. Drawings for many campus projects by John Gaw Meem, are also in this collection. Meem oversaw over forty campus building and planning projects over a twenty-seven year period, including two excellent examples of the Pueblo Style; Zimmerman Library and Scholes Hall.
