The staff of the University Archives has compiled
summaries of information about buildings and grounds used by Case Institute
of Technology and Western Reserve University, 1882-1949. All sources
used are in the CWRU Archives and may
be consulted in the Archives.
This list is an alphabetical index, arranged by building identifier, to the
individual buildings and grounds summaries. The list includes:

the University Archives |

Formal Names
|
A name is considered to be the buildings's formal name if:
1) a specific form of name was assigned by the Board of Trustees, or
2) a "namee" was designated, without specifiying the exact
form of name, by the Board of Trustees, or
3) a specific form of name was assigned by a senior administrator authorized
to do so, or
4) a specific form of name was used in a dedication or similar formal
ceremony
Although the information contained in the summaries ends in 1949, we've
added formal names assigned after 1949, when they could be readily determined.
The naming year is included in parentheses.
