Expansion Plans nw Begun Add Fifteen red-brick buildings to a carefully land- scaped setting and the result is a beautiful campus- Shippensburg's. During this academic year, the Special Education building was built and occupied, and the new dormitories, Wright and McCune Halls, were occupied late in the 1959-60 school term. By 1971, the Centennial Year, a new business education and general classroom building will be in use. Both now have State approval for construction. These constructions are only a part of the master plan for SSC's growth in the next 25 years. JESSE S. HEIGES ALUMNI GYMNASIUM-formerly Alumni Gymnasium was renamed in May 1960 on Alumni Day in honor of the college's first Dean of Instruction. WRIGHT HALL - the new men's dormitory, the structural twin of McCune Hall, houses I24 men in two-man rooms.
