Two Dormitories and Dining Facilities Are Blueprinted SW, Lx aaa aaa, oem 4 ' caan: L.1:'-,C Upon completion of the two new projected dormitories, 450 additional students can be housed on campus. Multi-storied residences are planned in living units of about forty students per section. Study and typing rooms are featured on each floor, and spacious lounges, recreation rooms, and snack facilities will also make dorm living more pleasant. S A modern, efhcient dining hall which can seat 700 students will be built to accommodate the added on-campus collegiates. It will operate on a cafeteria basis for breakfast and lunch, and family style for dinner. Private dining rooms and a ter- raced outdoor eating area are also in the blueprints. Co-educa- tional dining, both in the new hall and in the womenis dorms is scheduled on a rotation basis each semester. The new dining hall is situated between the dorm and Health Service. Relation ofthe dormitories can be seen by this drawing: clockwise from the bottom left, Turck, Bigelow, Wallace, new women's dorm, new men's dorm, dining hall, and Health Service. Landscaping for the quadrangle formed by the new build- ings includes a major entrance to both Turck and the womenls residence with a passageway connecting them. The large gate presently located on Summit will be moved to give the Grand Avenue entrance to the Dining Hall and the men's dorm an more impressive appearance. Terracing will replace the fence along Summit. The men's dorm approach will be flagstoned. One of the advantages of the men's residence architecture is that the supporting pillars do not block a southerly view of the central campus. Groundbreaking is also scheduled for this August, with move-in-day set for September of 1964. These plans have set the pace for the school year, and they have also keynoted this book. On with the show . . . Pillars supporting the new men's residence give an unobstructed view of the main campus from the Summit Avenue entrance. ........... .2 1 3 - ..................- fr' .......---, y,.i.- . ---- .,... 2.5 -'x 2 Q eg, ........-' Mig., V ....- '..: ' ' gf 0.3, -. 3 Q ,,,f-xi ,, - - . .zgwiba ai

Skylighting and shrubbery provide a pleasing entrance to the Fine Arts-Humanities Complex from the campus side. New Theater to be Finest in Any American College Music students can look forward to a modern recital hall which will seat from 250 to 300 people in the music section of the Complex. Movable wall panels will give the proper acoustics for a single voice or for a chorus. Oflices, classrooms, practice and rehearsal rooms will supply the department needs. Three-dimensional arts will be housed in the third por- tion of the Complex. A large major studio will be equiped for sculpture, welding, and with kilns. There are plans for an advanced sculpture studio, also, in addition to two painting studios. Prof. Caponi has traveled throughout the country to gain ideas for his department. Eighty to a hundred students can see movies in the art projection room. It was planned so two or three sections can go together for this visual learning process. Two large language labs which will increase upon the present amount of equipment are planned to aid language instruction in the humanities building. The number of classrooms devoted to language, literature, and English will be increased. The skylighted entrance foyer in the center of the building will open to the music and speech units. Blueprints also include student and faculty lounges separated by a movable wall which can double the entertaining area. Another feature is an art exhibition hall for student browsing. Groundbreaking is scheduled for August of this year. Art students can display their work in the proposed gallery.
