Description:
File documents an executed project for the Performing Arts Centre, Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. This project was originally planned in two phases, with the second phase to be constructed at a later date, when funding was made available. File also documents an urban design study of the Collegetown area of the City of Ithaca, encompassing the site of the Performing Arts Centre, as well as unexecuted projects for a hotel and student housing, on a site adjacent to the Performing Arts Centre.

Material in this file was produced between 1971 and 1989. File contains reference and measured drawings, conceptual drawings, a large number of design development drawings, as well as several presentation drawings and working drawings for the Performing Arts Centre. File also contains reference and measured drawings, design development and presentation drawings for the Collegetown urban design study.
