The TRC is located on the second floor of Langford Building A directly off the atrium's North side. It was a slight variation from the Civil Engineering program. In 1912 a separate program for Architecture was established within the School of Engineering. It has grown in parallel to the College which it supports. The College of Architecture is the smallest college.
Most services presently remain specific to each library.
Its 3,500 square feet of space house various library collections as well as a large slide collection. Most of the furnishings in the seating areas of the library are made up of pieces designed by well-known architects. The chairs, lounges, patron tables and seating all exemplify the individual creativity of the designers. Since the Technical Reference Center is a specialized architecture library, its collections cover the range of subject areas that support the college programs and initiatives. The college offers undergraduate and graduate professional programs to prepare individuals to enter the professions of architecture, landscape architecture, building construction and urban and regional planning.
