Lawson Center - Miscellaneous materials, 2007
Scope and Contents
This subseries contains correspondence, proofs, photographs, writings, compact disc, and printed materials which document Zapf’s work on the design for the RIT Lawson Center glass panels. Note that the potential quotes for use on the Lawson Center panels have multi-colored post-it notes, evidence of the voting system used for selection by David Pankow, Marnie Soom, and Amelia Hugill-Fontanel.
The rolled proof in this subseries is for one of the glass panels. There are two maquettes for the Lawson Center panels that can be seen in the Cary Reading Room. When the center was dedicated in 2007, Zapf, Jerry Kelly, and Julian Waters signed them.
