Online Digital Media Library

During the building process of M. Miller Gorrie Center over two thousand photographs were taken to document the major construction activities. An online library for these photos has been created using a digital collection management software named CONTENTdm. In this library, all construction images of Gorrie Center are cataloged and searchable by materials, labor trade, equipment, and tools. Other media, including construction drawings, specifications, videos, and 3-dimensional models of Gorrie Center are also collected. Although developed for construction education, this media collection can help anyone visualize a real world construction project in all of its aspects. Click the links below to view the collection.
