HISTORICAL INFORMATION

In 1967 the University Architect's Office of Washinqton State University, separately established in 1948, became the Facilities Planning Department. The function of this department is to oversee the planning and construction or remodeling of all facilities connected with Washington State University.

ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION

The Facilities Planning Building Specifications are arranged numerically by the specific building's number which has been assigned by the Facilities Planning Department. Therefore, the building number has been used as the archival location number. Those structures without assigned numbers (usually those buildings not located on the WSU campus) have been arranged alphabetically by the name of the facility and placed at the end. The records have been maintained in their original order. Although the records date from 1925 to 1974, most are from 1940 to 1963. The material in the Building Specification File consists exclusively of construction specifications for new and remodeled buildings. Other records of the Facilities Planning Department are loacted in several other Archives.
