These materials were created for the Office of the President. 1 flat file, 3 linear feet The University of Central Florida Building Renderings Collection is comprised of both original and printed artwork that was created to give its audience a glimpse of what a potential building on the campus of Florida Technological University would look like before it was constructed. While all of the buildings featured in this collection were eventually constructed, some features of the buildings are different than what the renderings depict. The majority of the artwork was created in 1966, before major construction on the campus was started; however, there are a few pieces that date through to 1968. Selected Subjects and Access Points

Biographical Note

Before a building can be constructed, a plan must be made. Thus, architectural renderings are made of a potential building to give its audience a chance to see what the finished product would look like. In the current era of 3D animation and computer graphics, the University of Central Florida Building Renderings Collection highlights the period of the two dimensional freehand artist who, with watercolors and canvas, brings life to the barely born Florida Technological University.

The man responsible for the architecture being built on FTU's campus was Forrest M. Kelley, the Florida Board of Regents architect. With the help of Associated University Architects, Kelley gathered renderings, building plans, and material inventories from around the country to prepare for the construction of FTU. Of the architects and artists who assisted Kelley, only a few have work featured in this collection. Those artists and architects include M. McTammany Del.; Jim Squires, Inc.; Associated University Architects; Murphy, Hunton, and Shivers, presently called HuntonBrady; Richard Lewis; and the Worthington Associates, based in Kansas. HuntonBrady has continued working for the university, recently as the architects responsible for the Nicholson School of Communications Building. M. McTammany did several renderings for this university as contracted by Jim Squires, Inc., however only a few of the renderings were signed by the artists. It should not be assumed that M. McTammany was the artist for the remainder of the unsigned Jim Squires, Inc. work. More recent buildings, such as Health and Public Affairs feature the work of the architectural firm Schenkel Shultz. The artist A. Ottich, who created the watercolor of The Burnett House, is also featured.

Collection Scope and Content

The records are arranged in two series.

Series I: Original Work, 1966-1968 contains original watercolor and colored pencil work. Many of the items in this series are the original works to the prints in Series II.

Series II: Printed Work, circa 1966 consists of high quality prints of original watercolor work that shows potential buildings for the new university

Contents List Series I: Original Work, 1966-1968 1.5 linear feet

Series I consists of original watercolor paintings and pencil artwork created to show what future buildings would look like at the new FTU. Many of these originals were made into prints, of which some can be found in Series II.

Series II contains prints of original artwork that shows what potential buildings for the newly formed FTU would look like after construction. Some of these prints are dated 1966, however many are not dated or signed by the artist. One print that is untitled and undated features a proposed view of what the FTU campus could potentially look like, though it does not resemble the final master plan.
