Project
AP154.S1.1967.PR02
Description:
Project series AP154.S1.1967.PR02, State University College at Potsdam, New York (1967), documents three executed projects for buildings at the State University College at Potsdam. The architect Edward Larrabee Barnes produced a master plan for the campus of the college starting in 1962.Later, the New York State University Construction Fund commissioned major Potsdam buildings from three young architects--Giovanni Pasanella, Joseph Merz and Richard Moger--who had worked on the Potsdam campus project while they were on staff at Barnes's office. The project series is divided into three subseries. One of the three subseries documents the project for the Science Building II by Merz and Pasanella. A second subseries is composed of drawings related to the conversion of a dormitory into classrooms, offices and a computer center. The third subseries contains drawings for the administration building designed by Giovanni Pasanella.
