Hugh Stubbins Archive : The Schools Collection.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/188239689

The Hugh Stubbins Archive documents more than fifty years of professional practice in drawings, plans, correspondence, research files, photographs and memorabilia. As well as documenting the work of Stubbins as an individual designer, the Archive offers access to a broad array of building types (ranging from private residences to educational complexes to stadiums to office buildings) and to the operating history of a mid-20th century architectural firm. The Schools Collection (part of the complete Hugh Stubbins Archive) is comprised of Stubbins' schools (largely private, elementary or high schools) designed between the 1950's and 1970's. This thematic collection provides information not only in terms of his architectural practice, but of the development of educational structures in the greater Boston area during a period of notable suburban growth. The collection includes architectural and construction drawings, photographs and photostats for ca. 35 projects in Massachusetts.
