NX if , Construction of the classroom section of the Fine Arts Building progressed slowly at first, then almost over night a splendid three story building sprang up. The new Library looks as if it will be as deep as it will be tally however many extra tons of reinforcement were put in to compensate for future additions. Just south of the Library and directly west of the new Fine Arts Building, bulldozers were busy most of the day pushing tons of earth aside for the new Library. Even with the snows of January, work did not slow up. Little Rock University has seen many changes since its founding in 1927. In 1948, the first class- rooms were constructed. The university began an in- tensive building program in 1957. The Fine Arts Building with an auditorium seating capacity of 400 and the current construction of the three story li- brary is but part of the building program. Plans are in the making for an addition to the Science Building which will double the facilities.
