=== Campus architecture and design ===
The campus began to take shape in the [[Beaux-Arts architecture]] style of [[George Carnegie Palmer]] and [[Henry Hornbostel]] of Palmer & Hornbostel, winners of the 1904 competition to design the original institution and later the founder of the [[Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture]].<ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/10/27/101400667.pdf?pdf_redirect=true&ip=0 "Carnegie Prizes Come Here: Palmer & Hornbostel Win Competition for Architects of Technical Schools"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220502163843/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/10/27/101400667.pdf?pdf_redirect=true&ip=0 |date=May 2, 2022 }}.

There was little change to the campus between the [[World War I|first]] and [[World War II|second World War]]. A 1938 master plan by Githens and [[Francis Keally|Keally]] suggested acquisition of new land along [[Forbes Avenue]], but the plan was not fully implemented. The period starting with the construction of the Hall of the Arts building (former home of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration) in 1952 and ending with Wean Hall in 1971 saw the institutional change from Carnegie Institute of Technology to Carnegie Mellon University. New facilities were needed to respond to the university's growing national reputation in [[artificial intelligence]], business, robotics and the arts. In addition, an expanding student population demanded improved facilities for student life, athletics and libraries. The campus finally expanded to Forbes Avenue from its original land along [[Schenley Park]].

The buildings of this era reflected contemporary architectural styles. The [[International Style (architecture)|International Style]], with its rejection of historical tradition and its emphases on functionalism and expression of structure, had been in vogue in European settings since the 1930s. It came late to the Carnegie Mellon campus because of the hiatus in building activity and a general reluctance among American universities to abandon historical styles. By the 1960s, the International Style was adopted to accomplish needed expansion quickly and affordably with the swelling of student ranks in the aftermath of the [[GI Bill]] in 1944. Each building was a unique architectural statement that may have acknowledged the existing campus in its placement, but not in its form or materials.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the tenure of president [[Richard Cyert]] (1972–1990) witnessed a period of growth and development. The research budget grew from roughly $12 million annually in the early 1970s to more than $110 million in the late 1980s. Researchers in new fields like [[robotics]] and [[software engineering]] helped the university to build its reputation. One example was the introduction of the "[[Andrew Project|Andrew]]" computing network in the mid-1980s. This project linking all computers and workstations on campus set the standard for educational computing and established Carnegie Mellon as a technology leader in education and research. On April 24, 1985, ''cmu.edu'', Carnegie Mellon's Internet domain, became one of the [[List of the oldest currently registered Internet domain names#.edu|first six]] [[.edu]] domain names.
