Reports (4 folders), 1986-1989

Most of the materials found in this series consists of reports, pamphlets, proposals, memoranda, publications, agendas and minutes of meetings. There is also some correspondence between KGR and college/department members and individuals outside the NU community. Of special interest are the materials on the Bay Area Regional Technology Center, a continuing education center for engineering and engineering-related professionals in California founded by NU in 1985. Materials consist of press releases, consultant reports, financial reports, and correspondence (Boxes 6-7, Folders 42-43). The center, modeled after the State-of-the-Art-Engineering Program, a similar program in Boston (Box 7, Folder 48), closed its operation a year later because of financial depression in the high technology sector.  Materials on the University's Master Plans, which are several campus development studies, can be found in Box 18, Folders 128-130, as well as in Series IV. Subject Files in Box 72, Folders 598-601. These master plans are reports that identified principal external forces that affected the campus, and set forth broad guidelines for future development. The reports include statistical information about the students, faculty and staff, land use, buildings, and parking facilities.
