http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00258

The collection contains drawings made by Edwin F. Harris for architectural projects and competitions unrelated to North Carolina State University from 1958 to 1989, as well as sparse correspondence and some submission information for competitions. The collection reflects Harris’s creativity with a number of different proposals including the Salubrium mental health clinic drawings, a design for Rainbow Plaza at Niagara Falls, work for a site located between the Nantahala River and Old Highway 64 north of Brasstown, North Carolina, a campus design for the Alabama School of Fine Arts, and his proposal for the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Highway Memorial, among others. Edwin F. Harris graduated from North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture in 1957. He returned the College as a lecturer in the School of Design in 1961 and joined the planning department in 1966. He was quickly promoted to the director of facilities planning and served in that capacity for more than two decades.
