THE CAMPUS Growing at a tremendous rate since its conception in 1944. the physical expansion of the Gannon College plant has now reached 15 buildings, a few of which are pictured on this page. The original building of the school was Old Main, a beautiful mansion constructed with the finest woods and materials, many of them imported from Europe. The Library was the first construction project in the colleges history. This modern and striking edifice is connected to Old Main. Gannon Auditorium, completed in 1949. fulfilled a long time need of the college and community for a fully equipped auditorium large enough to accomodate important functions. The Auditorium also serves as the basketball court for the Gannon cagers. Opened in 1953. the Engineering Building is one of the most modern constructions of comparable size in the area. Its striking facade faces West 7th Street. The building is completely furnished and equipped with the latest in fixtures and furniture. The Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, referred to as the Annex , contains classroom and laboratories. It is directly across the street from the Engineering Building. Formerly a part of the splendid layout of the Old Main man- sion, the Downey Hall of Science now serves as biology and chem- istry laboratories. The ROTC Building, located on the corner of Sixth and Sas- safras Sts.. houses the installations equipment and personnel. There are also housing facilities for the faculty. Suttelle Hall and Faculty Residence, both within minutes walking distance from the center of campus. The expansion of the college is a continual process, with en- tirely new constructions or the purchase of suitable property being conducted every year.
