Scope and content
This collection contains architectural drawings in color of the Richter library renovation proposed in 1999-2003, including the Dauer Clock Tower. The University undertook major renovations from 1999 to 2003, which saw the addition of the Dr. Maxwell and Reva B. Dauer Clock Tower in 2000. The Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion then opened in 2003 and now serves as the home of the Cuban Heritage Collection. The new design also added classrooms, conference rooms, and student group study rooms.
