Heritage Collection relocated; first display features student teams
Getting a glimpse into the history of the University of Missouri College of Engineering is as simple as taking a walk into the Engineering Library and Technology Commons in Lafferre Hall, the new home of the college’s Heritage Collection.
The collection was started with a gift from Mizzou alumna Barbara Middleton Dietrich, a 1980 civil engineering graduate. Dietrich made the gift in memory of her father, Roy Allen, who received his electrical engineering degree from MU in 1925. She suggested the funds be used to house a heritage display in the school.
The College of Engineering was delighted with the idea, and historic engineering-related materials originally were displayed in an area located near the Student Services Office.
The Heritage Collection recently was relocated to the library due to the expansion of the Student Services office. The first display in its library location features a historical look at engineering student teams.
The display may be viewed during the library’s open hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight; Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to midnight, except during school holidays.
