Photo 1: Physics Building, Stevens Institute of Technology; 2200-1 Photo 2: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building, Stevens Institute of Technology; 2200-2 Photo 3: Mechanical Engineering Building, Stevens Institute of Technology; 2200-3 Photo 4: Gymnasium, Stevens Institute of Technology; 2200-4 Photo 5: Power Plant, Stevens Institute of Technology; 2200-5 The artist's signature appears in each work as: Palagonia, Del.[delineator] (This was apparently Benjamin Palagonia.) The architect or architects / firm are not stated and the original date of the designs are not indicated, but there were likely created in 1967. None of the designs seen were ever built, although a new chemistry building and gymnasium were built later using other plans. Stevens was approaching its centennial in 1970 when these plans were done. Only the S.C. Williams Library (1969) follows the architectural style seen in the drawings.
