Charles Z. Klauder was associated with the firm of Day & Klauder and its antecedents before establishing his own independent practice in Philadelphia in 1927.
Klauder was an accomplished academic architect who achieved his greatest success in university projects, usually in a Collegiate Gothic style.
The Klauder Collection consists of blueprints, photographs, and ephemera (such as architect-designed Christmas cards) related to the Klauder office that were largely assembled by former Klauder draftsman Wyatt Hibbs.

 Firestone Paper
Klauder felt that the space available in the center of campus was not sufficient for the new library facilities needed.
On the ground floor, Klauder planned one main reading room 220 feet long by 30 feet wide; one periodical room 45 feet be 35 feet; one large browsing-room; one reserve room; and the administrative offices of the library.
Klauder assigned one or two departments--history, politics, etc.--to each floor, ostensibly to correspond to the faculty offices, the student carrels, and the books in the stack.

President Livingston Farrand and his successor George Norlin hired architect Charles Z. Klauder to prepare a master plan and begin to build the CU of the future.
Eventually, Klauder's work at CU would include all the important elements of a university: a library, dormitories, science laboratories, gymnasiums, classroom buildings, a museum, and open courtyards.
Visitors to the Heritage Center's Klauder Architectural Gallery can view a large model of the CU campus as Klauder envisioned it; as well as drawings, maps and photographs of the buildings which embody the campus's distinctive look.

Klauder was born in Philadelphia on February 9, 1872.
Klauder's plan projected new buildings that assumed the demolition of the old Academy building, which led to considerable discussion among the boards of the two schools.
Perhaps Klauder was frustrated at Apple's inability to solve the "Academy problem," and complained that East Hall was a blight on the campus; perhaps Apple was frustrated that Klauder had so many commitments elsewhere that he wasn't spending enough time at the college.

Klauder continued to use that name after the death of Frank Miles Day in 1918, until 1927 when he reverted to his own name for the office.
Long recognized as an authority on campus planning, Klauder co-authored College Architecture in America (1929) with Herbert C. Wise and contributed articles on college architecture and planning to the 14th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica and to Collier's New American Encyclopedia.
John F. Harbeson, writing Klauder's entry for the Dictionary of American Biography, described him this way: "Always a first-rate draftsman, Klauder was particularly expert in perspective views of projected buildings, and he came to do much of his architectural design by means of perspective studies.

 Franklin & Marshall - Charles Z. Klauder
The most prolific and perhaps most well known academic architect, Charles Zeller Klauder (1872-1938) influenced numerous campuses across the country in the early 1900s.
The majority of Klauder's designs were in a "collegiate gothic style;" however, during his partnership with President Henry Harbaugh Apple, Klauder's designed his buildings to complemented the existing colonial brick structures on Franklin and Marshall's campus.
Although it is unclear why the college withdrew its support from Klauder, the Board's decision resulted in the great works of this famous academic architect going unacknowledged for many years.

Of course, as is evident from a walk around the campus today, Klauder revised his original idea and decided to work with a new style, reminiscent of the structures he admired when traveling throughout Tuscany, Italy.
Before his death in 1938, Klauder emphasized that Colorado would be the first educational institution in the West to attempt a uniform style of building.
Klauder’s design concepts have continued to guide campus building projects, for every new building added to the university must meet the high standards set by the architect Klauder, President Norlin, their successors on campus, and the University Design Review Board.

 Facilities Management - Campus Architect | University of Colorado at Boulder
After the death of his partner Frank Day in 1919, Charles Z. Klauder's designs for the new campus buildings were approved by the Board of Regents of the University in the collegiate gothic style.
A month or two later Klauder returned with the buildings sketched in a new wrap of laid-up sandstone walls, red tile roofs, and Indiana limestone trim.
He asked for this change from the conventional English Collegiate Gothic (like the existing Macky Auditorium) because he felt it would better relate to the Boulder setting and the more proper use of the local sandstone.
