Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The book provides a detailed account of key milestones in the University of North Carolina's development and campus expansion, and specific challenges the University faced along the way with an emphasis on the 1921-1923 building addition. It examines not just the motivations but also the complexities and difficulties of its most significant building project, partly caused by World War I's lingering impact on materials and the availability of skilled labor. Also detailed are the preparatory steps the author took before any construction could begin, including who he recruited to form his team, the creation of the blueprints for the campus expansion project, and the innovations and alterations made to the existing campus infrastructure, such as the extension of the railroad to and within campus grounds and the creation of a new water intake system. The text provides not just historical insight but also illustrates points of ongoing interest to the University such as the importance of faculty consensus for projects to proceed.
