Also under construction is a Uni- versity Center which will provide cafe- teria, lounge, and indoor recreational facilities for the students. All of these buildings are located on the western edge of the campus and form the first academic courtyard at Wright State Campus. The Dayton Campus began with 3779 students in 1964. By 1965 the enroll ment grew to a total of 5077 and the University Center General Assembly of the State of Ohio Passed legislation which allowed the Dayton Campus to become Wright State Campus. Finally, as its growing pains got too big, the Campus was granted its independence on Octo- ber 1, 1967. Celebrating Independence Now as a full-fledged University provisionally accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, its enrollment continues to soar. Plans have been made for dormitories to be started in the near future and before long the entire Wright State University will no longer be an architect’s dream, but a beautiful actuality.
