Abstract:
Edward Leasure Hopkins became a Campus Planner for the University of Wisconsin in 1964. Initially he headed the Campus Planning Office, a division of the Department of Planning and Construction. This collection contains documents from that office as well as from succeeding entities. Hopkins was deeply involved in the planning of a variety of projects to expand and rebuild areas of campus including traffic connections with the University Hospitals and Clinics, the renovation of the Lower Campus area, the South East Dormitory Complex, and the integration of the State Street mall and Lower Campus. In addition, Hopkins designed the clock tower which once stood at the intersection of State and Murray streets, now the East Campus Mall. The majority of planning documents in the collection concern two projects: the University Research Park, for which planning began in 1981, and the Championship Golf Course. Hopkins retired in 1998.
