The UniversiTy of BridgeporT has changed considerably Trom The Two-campus univer- siTy iT was aT iTs incorporaTion in I947. We have grown in more ways Than one - in TacT, growTh has been The key word in all areas. Physically, UB has builT or remodeled several maior campus buildings since I948. In ThaT year, Fones Hall was builTy in l95O, The Engineering-Technology Building: in I953, Alumni Hall was remodeled Trom a privaTe home: in I955, The Drama CenTer and Carlson Library were builT: in I956, The gyrnnasiumy and in l957, The Two dormiTor- ies and dining hall. For use in l959 a sci- ence building is now being planned. UB oc- cupies aT presenT 40 buildings on 4l acres. Our enrollmenT has also grown by leaps and bounds. OUT oT ThirTy insTiTuTions oT higher learning in ConnecTicuT, UB is now The Third largesT -- quiTe diTTerenT Trom iTs original TiTTy-seven sTudenTs when The Ju- nior College oT ConnecTicuT was Tounded in l927l lnTellecTually, Too, UB has developed in The pasT Ten years.
