NNEXES During the past few years, Drexel- has been faced with the problem of finding adequate class- room space to accommodate the ever-increasing number of students enrolling at D. I. T. Ob- viously, the only answer to this problem was ex- pansion of the present facilities. First, the Board of Trustees purchased an old Friends' school at 35th Street and Lancaster Ave- nue. This building, now known as the Lancaster Annex contains drawing rooms, locker rooms, seven classrooms and an auditorium which pro- vides additional space for organizational meetings. It is here that freshmen engineers ,Spend the greater Part of theirfirst three terms in school. Recently, a snack bar has been added to -augment the rather meager campus facilities there. Another addition was that of the Psychology Building, on 32nd Street. This former dwelling now houses the Psychology and Music Depart- ments as well as' the'Military Departnientiand the R.0-T.C.UDiI.A ' - y ' . , The most recentladdition approved by, -the Board, of Trustees was-the Quonsetihuts on the field adjacent to Curtis, Hall.. The huts, already familiar to the 'vets,'? soon hecamea definite part of the school. One has been made into a metal- lurgyl -laboratory, 'While the rest serve as extra classrooms used by almost every -department in school. ' A
