In order to build a strong structure there must first be a solid foundation. Here at Southern, the foundation has been laid and is ready to be built upon. Most of the present buildings on Southern Tech's campus were built in 1961. However, since then, enrollment increased. One of the buildings added after the 1961 construction was the old li- brary. The building which is now known as the old library (after the construction of the new addition) was constructed in 1968 at a cost of $642,000,000. It was reported in the school’s annual report from 1968 that the library would house 50,000 volumes and will eventually seat 400 to 450 persons. It includes a seminar room, a speaker’s office, a storage room and kitchen, a future com puter room, a library staff lounge and a music room equipped with a stereo- phonic sound system. Opening i
