Biographical History
Sequoia Hall, originally named Roble Hall, was the first women's dormitory at Stanford University; it was built with the "Ransome" process of reinforced concrete. It was renamed Sequoia in 1918 after a new Roble Hall was built. It was vacated in 1945 and then reduced to one floor in 1957, when it was used by the Statistics and the Applied Mathematics Departments.
Stanford University was considered but not chosen as the site for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
The west wing of the Cecil H. Green Library comprises the original Stanford University Library designed by architects Bakewell and Brown and completed in 1919. It sustained considerable damage during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
The Planning Office was officially organized in 1945 under the directorship of Eldridge T. Spencer. In addition to overseeing the architectural aspects of the campus, the office was also responsible for overseeing land use and traffic circulation. With the growth of the campus, the administration of planning activities has undergone several renovations. In 1972 the office was renamed Facilities Planning, Construction and Utilization; in 1978 it was known as Facilities Planning and Construction. In the 1980s these elements were handled by two offices: Facilities Project Management and the Planning Office. Other directors represented in these records include Spencer's successor, Harry Sanders, and Philip C. Williams, who became director in 1975.
