In 1961, in conjunction with Holloway and Reeves, he designed Harrelson Hall at NCSU, the first cylindrical classroom structure ever built on a university campus. It has a 206 foot diameter and provides an unusual focal point for the university plaza--a brick-paved courtyard reminiscent of St. Mark's Square in Venice. As of January 2008, NCSU announced the demolition of Harrelson some time in the next 10 years, citing a lack of ADA-accessible features.

Waugh is pictured with George Matsumoto and Joy West, a talented artist, married to Clifford West. The picture was taken in 1945 at a party celebrating their winning the Chicago Herald American International City Plan Competition Grand Prize of $10,000. Waugh was partners at that time with Matsumoto and David Geer.

EDWARD WALTER "TERRY" WAUGH, AIA (1913-1966)

Architect Terry Waugh was a South African native. He studied at Houghton College in Johannesburg in 1931 and then entered the University of Edinburgh Schools of Engineering and Architecture, graduating with an BA and MA in 1935 and 1938. 

In 1939, he returned to South Africa and practiced architecture for a year with his father, E. H. Waugh, under the name Waugh and Waugh. After a short stint as a draftsman with Moffat & Harvey and TN Duncan, he served in the South African Army for two years. 

He immigrated to the US in 1941 and worked as a structural designer for Fluor, an aircraft engineer for Hughes Tool Company, and a set designer for Columbia Pictures. 

In 1944, he got a fellowship to the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he studied under Eero Saarinen and worked in his firm.  After teaching at the University of Kansas in 1947 and working in private practice in Kansas City (Runnells, Clark, Waugh and Matsumoto), he moved in 1948 to teach at the University of Oklahoma, recruited by Dean Henry Kamphoefner.

Kamphhoefner was later appointed first dean of the School of Design at North Carolina State University and recruited Waugh, Matsumoto, Duncan Stewart, and several other faculty and students to move to Raleigh in 1948. Waugh taught at NCSU until 1951, then was briefly partners with Ed Loewenstein and later Raymond Sawyer with an office on Hillsborough Street.  In 1952, he opened his own firm, Edward Waugh Associates and continued it when he became became campus planner for NCSU in 1957.

Waugh was also a painter. Below is a 1965 impressionist portrait of his daughter Stella, now in the collection of Bill Robertson of Raleigh.  In October 1965, the year before his death, he had a public show of paintings and plans at NCSU.
