Architectural History of CSU's Residence Halls
About the Project
While attending Colorado State University, I had always been curious about the unique Mid Century Modern buildings and more specifically the residence halls on campus. Their unique design had always been intriguing to me especially after I lived in one that was built in 1958. During my senior year, I had the opportunity to conduct a research project into these buildings for a historic building focused project for my Heritage Resource Management Class and internship in the university's archives. The project took many weeks of digging through undigitized collections within CSU's archive as well as local history repositories.
With my extensive research, I wrote and designed a book about the fascinating architectural history of these Post World War II residence halls, which were some of the most well thought out and planned student housing facilities in the country.
