For her thesis project at the University of Washington, she developed a design for a Community Center based on the needs of the, at the time, impoverished Central Seattle area community. She participated in study abroad programs in Mexico and Europe where she studied historic and modern architecture and patterns of urban development. As part of her continuing education, she also took courses in real estate law and construction at Temple University in Philadelphia.","As an independent architect, Easton developed the \"street school\" concept that was used for the Mantua-Powelton Mini-School in West Philadelphia. This was an urban renewal project focused on refurbishing an abandoned factory building to house a small, integrated, and community-controlled school. The project was written about in two issues of Progressive Architecture, Design and Planning: The New Schools by James Morisseau, and in Women in American Architecture: A Historic and Contemporary Perspective, edited by Susana Torre. After her work on the mini-school she went on to work as a draftsperson, job captain, and staff architect at several firms and on a variety of projects, including hospitals, churches, and schools. As job captain at Victor H. Wilburn \u0026 Associates, she produced a report, included in this collection, analyzing the programs of the Wilmington Housing Authority and proposing measures and policy adjustments to make their programs more effective.","From 1973 to 1979 she worked as the Director of Technical Services at the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was responsible for setting up a complete program for the Technical Services Division of the Agency to oversee review of all drawings and specifications, review of utility analyses, review of construction cost estimates, inspection of construction, and approval of construction drawings. Additionally, she was responsible for making hiring decisions and managing a staff of sixteen employees. During her tenure the PHFA completed more than fifty projects aimed at families and the elderly, some rehabilitations, as well as high-rise, mid-rise, garden, and townhouse constructions, some with commercial facilities included.","After moving to California in the spring of 1979, Easton worked as a project manager and architect for several firms before being hired on as a managing architect at the Alameda County Public Works Agency in Hayward, California. There she was responsible for managing the complete process of design, contract administration, and construction of County buildings and renovation projects. Projects Easton worked on included the East County Animal Shelter, the Turner Court Operations building, the Highland General Hospital clinic building and medical records projects, renovations to parts of the Alameda County Administration Building, and the East County Hall of Justice.","She was an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), serving over several years as secretary, treasurer, vice president, and president of the Central Pennsylvania chapter, and on various organizational committees. From 1973 to 1979 she served on the Harrisburg Community Development Forum, and as committee chair from 1977 to 1978. She was a steering committee member of the Organization of Women Architects (OWA), based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she volunteered with the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco, organizing historic house tours and serving as president from 2005 to 2006.","The guide to the Merle Easton Architectural Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Merle Easton Architectural Collection was completed in September 2021.","This collection contains a mixture of professional papers, as well as office and project records. Merle Easton's professional papers include several portfolios showcasing her work, and literature and programming from organizations she was involved with over the years. Project records include portfolios and published materials relating to her work on the Mantua-Powelton Mini-School in West Philadelphia and development of the \"street school\" concept on which the project was modeled, extensive documentation of the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin, California, including correspondence, meeting agendas and notes, reports, and architectural schematics, and other documentation of projects from various firms.

The purpose of the exhibit was to illustrate the many ways that women architects are discriminated against in the workplace by their male colleagues. The exhibit was comprised of sculptural and multimedia installations, focusing on such topics as the sexual discrimination and harassment of women architects, and the glass ceiling said to be limiting the advance of women in architecture.","The guide to the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" commenced and was completed in August 1994.","The collection is composed almost exclusively of materials created for the exhibit or in preparation of the exhibit, \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\".

Although Florence studied botany as an undergraduate at the University of California - Los Angeles, she became interested in architecture while abroad. She taught in Japan and used her air travel privileges - a result of her husband, Jon's, career as a pilot - to visit India and Africa. She incorporated her interest in botany into her architectural career by using landscape settings to complement buildings. After relocating to Portola Valley, CA, her first project became remodeling the family house. Florence enlisted Morgan Stedman, a prominent Palo Alto architect, as her advisor before he retired.","She was among the earliest members of the Organization of Women Architects (founded in 1973) and joined the 1975 cohort of the Women's School of Planning and Architecture at St. Joseph's College in Biddeford, Maine. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1982 with a professional degree in architecture. he was involved with the California Women in Environmental Design, an umbrella organization of the Organization of Women Architects and Design Professionals. She also served on the California Architects Board for three years after being appointed by Governor Jerry Brown in 1976, advocating for gender equity in architectural licensing. She was one of the first public members to serve on the commission. She interned at the San Luis Obispo Solar Group before opening an independent practice named \"The Design Collaborative\" in the 1980s. Her work included residential designs and studios throughout California and the Northwest.","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Nancy Florence Architectural Collection commenced in\nFebruary 2016 and completed in December 2017.","This collection documents the activities of Nancy Florence (1935-2015). It contains personal materials, including student work and biographical information. This collection also contains materials documenting Florence's career as an architect and founder of The Design Collaborative by representing business records, architectural drawings, design sketches, correspondences, clippings, photographs, and material catalogs related to several residential projects. Her major projects include Edgewater Residence in Blaine County, ID, Cummings Remodel in Portola Valley, CA and Shapiro Residence in Sun Valley, ID. In addition, class lecture notes, competition information, promotional materials, a wooden trusses model, and assignments from coursework at UC Berkeley and the Women's School of Planning and Architecture (WSPA) are included.
