UNIV6E5ITV Si JOHN GALEN HOWARD Benjamin Ide Wheeler Hall ENJAMIN IDE WHEELER HALL will be the largest and most useful building on the campus. It is planned primarily as a class room building and will accommodate about 3000 students. The principal hall is situated in the center of the building, with seats for 1000. In addition to the many other smaller lecture rooms, a large room will be provided for Faculty meetings. In the top story a large number of offices and studies for the Faculty will be arranged. The entire exterior of the building will be of granite, in accordance with the Hearst plan. The design sug- gests the New England Colonial style, recalling in this respect the old- time American college devoted to the humanities. The building, which is scheduled to be completed by December 30, 1916, will cost about $700,000. Looking north from Sather Gate, the appearance of the campus will be materially improved by the addition of Wheeler Hall. DOE LIBRARY twelve
