Abstract
The transition from traditional to modern architecture at Principia College parallels mid-twentieth century development in school design at educational institutions across the country and reflects varied, but often comparable, influences. At Principia, where prominent St. Louis school architect William B. Ittner designed traditional buildings on the school's first urban campus and where Bernard Maybeck famously designed the college (first built in the 1930s at Elsah, Illinois and now a National Historic Landmark), a major shift from traditional to modern occurred in the 1940s and 1950s. Principia hired California architects Risley and Gould to design a new K-12 country campus on a rolling undeveloped site west of St. Louis. For Principia, the new campus represented a significant shift from Maybeck to modern.
