1 .,-r ,,-,..... ,..... THE NEW HOME OF THE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS The cut on the opposite page, taken from a drawing prepared by Holabird and Root, Architects, shows the facade of the new building to be erected by the University School for Girls at the southeast corner of Sheridan Road and Oakdale Street. Brick and stone are to be used for the exterior of the building, of fire- proof construction throughout. The first two floors will be devoted to class rooms, study halls, science labora- tory, library, reception, and dining rooms. The third floor provides study halls and recitation rooms for the junior high school, the art studio and the music rooms, and the entire fourth floor will be reserved for living quarters of the board- ing pupils and resident teachers. The plan provides for a gymnasium which will be a separate building, located on the east end of the lot and entered by agatewhich willlead toit through an attrac- tive foyer. There will be a staff office, dressing rooms, showers, and a special room for remedial work, and at one end of the gymnasium will be a stage adequate for school plays. In the southwest' corner of the lot there is to be an enclosed playground for the younger children, equipped with swings, sandboxes, and coasting chutes. The nearby facilities of Lincoln Park provide further opportunity for recreation and for athletic games. The erection of the building about an open court will insure for the school a permanent open space which can give sunshine and airiness to the house. The class rooms will be chiefly on Oakdale Street, the more quiet exposure of the build- ing, and casement windows in the rear of these rooms will open into the large quiet lawn of the court. For the convenience of pupils special school busses will operate, one north along Lake Shore Drive and another north on State Street from Division, and for private cars convenient approach may be made to the school by way of several northside boulevards, including the Outer and Inner Drives and the parkways. 11
