The architecturally progressive and ambitious designs provided by the faculty and graduates of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&T) in the mid-20th century are increasingly taking center stage as the contributions of Black builders and architects gain greater study and recognition. Architectural historian Eric Woodard states “the strong legacy of design and innovation, coupled with a sure sense of community and civic and social responsibility, pride and activism…is inextricably linked to the historically progressive culture from which grew the Architectural Engineering Program at NCA&T.”
The path to the establishment of NCA&T’s influential Architectural Engineering Program was set with the founding of the university in 1891. Then known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race, as early as 1895 architect Orlo Epps (1864-1926) served as Professor of Physics, Applied Mathematics, and Mechanics according to the college’s Annual Catalog.
