Poly Canyon Architecture Documentation

This research guide attempts to compile links to all documented and known student scholarship on the Poly Canyon structures (senior projects and master's theses) submitted in analog format prior to September 2009 and cataloged by the Robert E. Kennedy Library.  All analog senior projects are viewable using our microfiche machines and are available for viewing, scanning or photographing at Crandall Gym (building 60, the library's "temporary space" during the 2023-25 renovation).  

More Poly Canyon content can be searched for using Kennedy Library's Digital Commons @ Cal Poly.  This includes senior projects submitted from September 2009 to the present.

The College of Architecture and Environmental Design provides a fuller listing of the Poly Canyon structures including history and photos.
