Construction Begins On Two
New Buildings At Tech
Construction of new
buildings for the School of
Business and for Depart-
ments of Biology and Geo-
logy is expected to get un-
der way in late February,
Tech President Dr. F. L.
McDonald announced.
Two buildings are plan-
ned, both two -story struc -
tures and both air condi-
tioned. The School of Bus-
iness will occupy one
building and Departments
of Biology and Geology will
share the second, biology
on the first floor and geo-
logy on the second.
Will Complete Program
These two buildings vull
complete the bond authori -
zation amounting to $1,600,
000 for new buildings made
by the college's board of
regents last year. A new
library building,costing an
estimated $500,000, is un-
der construction now.
Bids will be opened at 2 p.
m. Feb. 16, Dr. McDonald
said in all probability work
will begin before that
month is over.
Opening Date
While it i s doubtful the
tew buildings can be com -
Dieted in time for occu-
pancy in September, "they
certainly should be ready
for the second semester
of the 1956-57 session,"
Dr. McDonald said.
The new library is sched-
uled for occupancy for the
fall semester.
Construction of the new
buildings will alleviate
what is rapidly becoming
a crowded classroom con-
dition in the Administra-
tion, Engineering and Sci-
ence buildings.
All geology classes and
laboratories will be re-
moved from the Engineer -
ing b u i 1 d i ng, permitting
expansion of engineering.
Additional classrooms and
offices for the liberal arts
curriculum will be made
available when the School
of Business occupies its
new quarters. The Biology
Department’s move will
open the entire second
floor of the present Sci-
encebuilding to expansion
by Departments of Chem-
istry and Physics.
Ample Space Provided
The Biology-Geology
building will include of-
fices for 24 instructors, 5
lecture and classrooms,
including a large 98-seat
amphitheater type lecture
room, 11 laboratories, 2
seminar rooms and sev-
eral miscellaneous rooms
including rooms fordraft-
ing, map and balance;
equipment and a photogra-
phic darkroom.
The Business building
will include offices for 40
instructors, 11 class-
rooms, 5 laboratories, a
seminar room and equip-
ment, storage and mimeo-
graph rooms.
Dr. McDonald said other
departments of the college
will utilize classroom and
laboratory spaces in the
new buildings during sum -
mer months in order to get
as many classes into air-
conditioned rooms as pos -
sible.
The Beaumont firm of
Stone and Pitts drew plans
for the new buildings. De-
partment heads and deans
who will occupy new quar -
ters in the new buildings
are Dr. R. W. Setzer, dean
of the School of Business;
Dr. Edwin S. Hayes, dean
of the School of Arts and
Sciences and head of the
Department of Biology, and
Dr. H. E. Eveland, head of
the Department of Geology.
