Chemistry and Geology Building Two of the four structures which will be completed when the University occupies its new site in February, 1929, will be the Physics and Chemistry buildings. Included in the former will be the biology department, while geology offices and classes will be temporarily located in the Chem- istry structure, pending the erection of individual buildings. Contracts were let early in Feb- ruary, actual construction beginning later in the semester. Adequate equipment for complete re- search work in the four scientific fields will be installed immediately, and provision made for the expansion of departments now hindered by cramped conditions on the Vermont avenue cam- pus. Immediately upon the completion of the buildings, landscaping of the quadrangle will begin, and an attempt made to rival the present campus in beauty. The total cost of the two buildings, mcluded m a bond issue of $3,000,000, will be $638,875.

RoYCE Hall, Auditorium and Classroom Building Royce Hall, auditorium and classroom building, and the University library, were the first two buildings to be erected on the new campus. Facing each other across what will some day be the main quadrangle, the structures are prophetic of thirty-three others to follow. As the first units of a great unified architectural scheme, the buildings establish the Lombardian style, which future construction on the campus and in the University neighborhood will carry out. Typical of the early Italian period, Royce Hall makes use of a general symmetry of plan, while allowing slight differences in detail. Tapestry brick and ornamental terra cotta similar to the material originally used, will decorate the face of the buildings. Including complete equipment, the two structures will cost approximately $1,900,000. 4 1 ■ ife x ». t ,, W it It m ' f ff PfF k .fMM? rrr rFr FFT Iff ,JI-J Trr rrr n- . ■cAftiGii is:: The Library [20
