The collection mainly centers on the controversy about the establishment of Reeds Landing. Within the collection are materials that outline the development plans for the creation of Reeds Landing, a collection of materials in a “briefing” book that outlines the history of East Campus and the steps it took to reach the conclusion to build Reeds Landing, a collection of newspaper clippings both from the Student and outside media, and correspondence, documents, meeting minutes and news releases that speak to the struggle to stop the building of Reeds Landing. In addition there are some marketing materials used to promote Reeds Landing created by Springfield College’s Marketing Department and the Alumni Relations Office. There is also a coffee mug that is thought to have been created during the protest of Reeds Landing’s construction. The mug changes with the addition of heat from trees to buildings. There are, at present, no photographs of Reeds Landing, but there is one large, framed sketch/painting of Reeds Landing that was created in 1993. Finally, there is a VHS tape of a Channel 22 news program on Reeds Landing, with interviews of residents. Exact date is not known, but it appears to have been done in 2013.
