I Art Architecture Buildin Opening in the spring semester were three new buildings: the Art and Archi- tecture Buildings and the Chemistry Build- ing Addition. They cost more than $10 million. The Art and Architecture Buildings were designed by O ' Neil Ford and Associa- tion of San Antonio. They were contracted by H. A. Lott of Lubbock. The 12 story building is designed with 10 floors above ground and two below. There is room for additional floors to be built, although no construction is presently planned. Because the construction went over the proposed bid, the lecture hall planned for the Architecture Building was not built. The two buildings share a large sunk- en patio and double layer flower beds. The Chemistry Building Addition, designed by Pitts, Melbane, Phelps and White of Beaumont, has five floors, each color coordinated. It was built with safety in mind, containing safety showers, fire blankets, fume hoods and other safety de- vices. The building contains 37 labs, two teaching labs, 25 offices and three class- rooms, including a larger capacity lecture hall. It was contracted by H. C. Lewis. Life 5
