Happy Friday, Oilers! We're all fairly used to construction and repairs on Campus, but I bet you've never seen some early mock-ups for buildings on campus! These had-painted mock-ups would have worked as proof of concept for investors, alumni, and students to see and give feedback on. 

The University archive houses quite a few of these and other architectural design plans for buildings that both kept their initial designs and ended up on campus today as we know them or had designs that were drastically changed before they ended up being constructed. 

Can you identify which buildings these became and what year they may have been painted? Do they differ from what we see on campus today?
