Central Michigan University Industrial Education Technology Building Tile Project Collection, 1987-1989, 2021, and undated
.75 cubic foot (in 2 boxes)
The collection documents the entire process of Egner winning the Michigan Commission on Art in Public Places competition to design the tile floor for Central Michigan University’s then new Industrial Education and Technology (IET) Building, including Egner creating the design templates for various floor patterns, the laborious installation of the tiles according to the design templates, and, finally, the building’s dedication. The collection is organized alphabetically and mostly dates from 1987 to 1989. A folder of 2021 material about the artist was added by Archivist Marian Matyn to the front of Box 1. The collection includes photographs and slides, publications, Egner’s Artist Statement, contract, notes, correspondence, design templates, financial information, samples and vendor information.
Processing Note: During processing .25 cubic foot of duplicates, mostly photographs, were removed. Acidic clippings were photocopied. Original housing was maintained for slides. Photographs were sleeved.
