For the object of the entire program— that of building a large single-plant adult educational institution in the heart of a ■ TTTducation at Harvard ' J , ' greot city-is novel. And some of the problems ..•wed hla cau ' During ■ , , .1 »■ . tVchnic institute at yj l ' „ , „ a. an archite. encountered Ore, therefore, new and of almost astronomical proportions. As Herman Field wrote in The American City magazine shortly before he disappeared, the planning for the new build- ing is in itself an interesting experiment in trying to achieve a truly contemporary solution to a niwsical plant problem without constructive precedent. and the p J-; . „ . Western Reserve University, therefore, has regarded the planning of its new plant as a pilot, though not an experimental, project . It realizes that the function of Cleveland College as an urban educational center poses a design problem of interest to urban universities through- out the country, if not throughout the world. Last year it was predicted by a group of architectural experts holding a conference in Cleveland that Cleveland College ' s new building would lead the way in this country for educational facilities for adult training. An important problem encountered in plan- ning the new building is the financial limitation and this has led to still another problem— that of coordinating the entire program so that it will be carried out with the utmost precision. Because of financial limitations, the new plant will be built in a series of three stages. In a decentralized campus layout this would be a minor matter. But in a single structure institution such as the future home of Cleveland College will be, this is an extremely complicated problem and it is made even more intricate by the necessity of integrating, at each stage of the new building, the presently owned and rented space. For Cleveland College will continue to operate as the new building emerges and hence the new building must be made adaptable to the stage- by-stage changes as well as to possible shrinkage of operations. Temporary assignment of space during transitional periods has to be considered. Another problem is that of coordinating the Cleveland College building with the two great, dissimilar open areas in downtown Cleveland— the Moll, Cleveland ' s dormant civic center, and the Public Square. As originally planned the Mall was to be a gateway into Cleveland ' s commercial center; a railroad station was to be built on the lakeside bluff on one end and the other end and two sides were to be lined with civic buildings. The eas t side and south end of the Mall have been completed in accordance ?!!?eiand College M with Original plans, providing such buildings as the Public Auditorium and the Main Library. But the erection of the Terminal Tower on the Public Square in the ' 30 ' s by the Van Sweringen brothers threw a wrench into the Mall gateway concept. It was thus abandoned and thus the lakeside end and Cleveland College side of the The standar o --gjy ' to be || j uncompleted. 1 fnv the correct vise o regard ' o ' [: materials, lights, msidating - t, all the rest of fj . ,y ded on ' Z
