Description
This series incorporates the agendas, papers and minutes of the Faculty of Architecture / Faculty of the Built Environment, as well as the Faculty's Executive Committee and Higher Degree Committee, which were created as part of the revision to Chapter IV of the University's By-Laws under Council resolution 64/3 on 9th March, 1964. The series reflects the Faculty's change of name from the Faculty of Architecture to the Faculty of the Built Environment on 13th September, 1993 (Council resolution CL93/73g). The material is typed and is maintained in manila folders. Documents are generally arranged in chronological order, but occasionally minutes and papers from a later meeting date have been placed prior to items from an earlier meeting. The minutes are normally presented first, followed by the agenda and any papers that were circulated prior to the meeting. The minutes indicate meeting date, time and place; those present and apologies; matters discussed and resolutions passed by the Faculty. The papers consist of reports or other submissions to be discussed by the Faculty. A large proportion of minutes have been signed as approved by the Chairman at a subsequent Faculty meeting. For some meetings, however, particularly in the first twenty years of the Faculty, the Archives only holds copies of the minutes - not the official signed versions. At Council's 13th December, 1999 meeting, changes to Faculty committees were approved. The Faculty committee structure was therefore altered to embody a Faculty Board, a Faculty Standing Committee, a Faculty Research Committee (and optionally a Higher Degree Committee) and a Faculty Education Committee (or optionally an Undergraduate Education Committee & Postgraduate Coursework Education Committee) (resolution CL99/81). Consequently this series ceased to be created at the end of 1999.
