George Mason University has been expanding for over fifty Years. From its humble beginnings in an eight-room elementary school in Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia with an enrollment of seventeen students to its three campuses with over thirty thousand students and staff five decades later, Mason has demonstrated enormous growth in a very short time.

The documents in this collection come from both physical and born-digital collections of the George Mason University Facilities Planning Department, many of which are held in the Special Collections Research Center.
