Future Springfield Springfield College has adopted a ten year program of organized expansion which when completed, should make our campus one of the most beautiful in New England. Plans for future work have been completed according to the architectural design on the preceding pages and another decade should show marvelous changes on the campus of Springfield. The construction of Alumni Hall in 1926 introduced the proposed program. This building formally opened in September 1927, accommodates 264 students. It commands the finest view possible of Massasoit Lake and the Wilbraham Hills. Under the proposed plan, Hickory Street, which divides the campus into two sections, will be changed to the present site of South Field, thus making the campus a unified area. The next step will be the construction of an auditorium to serve for all college assemblies. During past years all chapel meetings, forums and rallies have been confined to the inadequate conditions which East and West Gymnasiums offer. With the presence of the beautiful auditorium proposed, all future affairs of these occasions shall be well accommodated. The mammoth Athletic Unit designed to house all indoor athletic activities will adjoin the present gymnasiums on the south. The facilities to be provided in this unit will include an immense cage, swimming pool, field house, gymnasiums and locker rooms. Modern equipment will be furnished in all sections of this building. The situation of the Athletic Unit with respect to the campus as a whole, necessi- tates the concentration of new buildings within a limited area. Because of this it has been difficult to develop a scheme which would not involve the destruction of at least one building, and the plan as proposed necessitates the unavoidable demolition of the Administration Building, which is at present the most undesirable building on campus. In its place will be constructed a new Administration Building, which will house all offices of the faculty and department heads. A Hall of Sciences will be placed south of the Athletic Unit, and in this build- ing will be located various classrooms, lecture halls and laboratories. A dormitory will be erected east of the auditorium. This construction will be very similar in plan to Alumni Hall. The home of the president will be changed from its present site to a position south of the auditorium. The proposed buildings will be constructed about a beautiful park which will command the center of the campus. The complete realization of this program will be fulfilled in the future. — the present plans are evidence of that. The future of our college is assured, and a bright future it will be. When the construction of a new Springfield nears completion, its beauty and charm will be the just pride of every alumnus and undergraduate.
