Summary
| Description | This is the former Cordelia Camp Laboratory School, colloquially known as “Camp Lab School,” which was constructed by Western Carolina College (now Western Carolina University) to replace the McKee Training School as the campus continued to grow outwards and increase its land area during the mid-20th Century. Named for Cordelia Camp, a Native of Rutherford County, North Carolina and a former professor at the institution, the building was constructed in 1964 to house the public school for the surrounding community, and allow for the training of students at the institution’s education department. The Mid-20th Century Modern building features clean lines, distinctive entryways that feature butterfly roofs, a long, low, horizontal massing with long bands of windows, heavy “brackets” that help accentuate the building’s horizontality, and separate vocational and gymnasium buildings that feature the same design language, with the gymnasium also featuring a grid-like decorative brick pattern on its facade and echoes of the front entryways of the main building at its own entryways, though in a simplified, two-dimensional form. The building housed Cullowhee High School and the local elementary program from 1964 until 1988, with additional students coming from the consolidation of Johns Creek School in 1965 and Canada Consolidated School in 1982. The high school program was discontinued in a controversial 1988 decision, with the student body combined with Sylva-Webster High School to form Smoky Mountain High School. The building continued to function as an elementary school until 1994, when Cullowhee Valley School opened, ending the 65-year legacy of the Cullowhee public school being on the campus of the university. The building has since been extensively renovated, and houses various services and offices for the university, as well as intramural sports in the gymnasium and the campus police department in the old vocational building. Various plans have called for the building to be demolished for the expansion of campus, which would remove one of the most significant examples of mid-20th Century Modern Architecture west of Asheville in the state. |
