Expansion The only dorm built since the Presidential Complex was Morrill, built in 1967. On the same side of campus. the Student Aquatics Center was completed early in 1967. That project, along with the expansion of the Carolyn P. Brown University Center on the other side of campus, were both funded through student activities fees. Another expansion project was Stokely Athletics Center, which would seat 13,000 at completion. No one knew at the time that Stokely would be one of three buildings on campus to be fire-bornbed in 1970 to protest Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Those turbulent '705 saw the completion of two more addi- tions to the university: the Nur- sing Building and Walters Life Sciences Building. But with dozens of facilities to add to the university's diver- sity, construction has not stop- ped and probably never will as long as a future is in sight.
