Page 18 Sg ole sy EF Son ae a. Re ee Tech’s campus has been expanding every year through construction. This year the new facilities include an artificial surface for outdoor sports, and a business administration building with new equip- ment and modern classrooms. Tech’s Overall Field has the largest ar- tificially turfed field in the entire world. Poly-turf was installed on the football field, and uni-turf was laid for the track around the field. The total cost for both artificial surfaces was $345,000. Putnam County paid $245,000 of that amount for 25 years’ use of the field by the county’s Senior and Junior High Schools. The new Business Administration Building was opened at the beginning of summer session, June, 1970. The build- ing contains 69,000 square feet of floor space which houses classrooms, student lounge, library, data processing equip- ment, closed circuit television and offices for the faculty members. It also houses the Upper Cumberland Development Dis- trict offices in 10 rooms in its northeast corner. The total construction cost of the building was approximately $1,250,000.
