GREAT IN THE FUTURE LUTZ-YELTON CONVOCATION CENTER The Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center will include the Paul B. Porter Arena with a seating capacity of 4,500. The gym will be one of the most sophisticated facilities of its kind in the region. In addition to the arena, the center will feature the Wayne Dehart Arcade, classes for the physical education department, the Kathleen Dover Fine Arts Theater with a seating capacity of 600, a human performance laboratory and other facilities. Laxton Construction Company of Charlotte, N.C. is the contractor and Murphy Martin and Associates of Shelby are the architects. The completion of this building will fill a major void in the life of this campus. Our musicians have no stage on which to perform. The completion of this building will fix that. Our Health and Physical Education majors have no laboratory and activity areas. The completion of this building will fix that. Our basketball team has no arena appropriate for their skills. The completion of this building will fix that. Our 1500 students have no recreational area for free play. The completi on of this building will fix that. — Williams 17
