Original architect’s plans pub
licized throughout last year havt
now been changed, as the origins,
plan was too small for present en
rollment and future growth. The
new plan, which is several thou
sand square feet larger, is of con
temporary design. The $750,000
structure will be in a square shape,
enclosing an open court containing
a planted area. This area will be
the focal point of the building as
it forms a background for the main
lobby and lounge, and can be seen
from most areas.
The cafetria divided into areas,
will seat 660 people. Both the cafe
teria and snack areas will have
overhanging balconys.
On the second floor will be a
large lounge, several club meet
ing rooms, a special faculty and
alumni room and a large combina
tion dinning and meeting room.
Nine offices will be provided for
the various organizations and
their officers, among them, The
Bptist Student Union, Student
Government Association and pub
lication staffs. '
An unusual feature of the build
ing will be the three music rooms
located off the large lounge on the
second floor. These rooms will con
tain high-fidelity phonographs.
For the convenience of the town
students, there will be locker rooms
and lounges for both boys and girls.
On the basement level of the two-
story structure will be the Post Of
fice, book store, and a large game
room.
