AN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTION OF THE PROPOSED NEW WOMEN’s GYMNASIUM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
KANSAS. : eae

 

possible, notably archery, bowling r
and the like. By additional gymna-
sium space, she said, it would be
possible for the women to have their
intramural indoor games in the aft-
ernoon instead of having to divide
time with the men and often sched-
ule games for late evening hours.

Miss Hoover visualizes a gymna-
sium with class rooms, corrective
rooms, a dance studio with stage;
roofs fitted like steamer decks. for
badminton, darts, deck tennis, shuf-
fleboard and tennis; a lounge with
kitchenette to provide study room,
and a place for teas, parties, com-
mittee and club meetings.

Tentative plans call for a central
building about 80 by 100 feet, with
class rooms, offices, locker rooms and
the like on the three floors and
basement. At either side of the cen-
tral part would be two wings, each
80 by 110 feet, and each containing a
gymnasium on its main floor. In
the basement of one wing would be a
75-foot swimming pool, and in the
other a bowling alley, archery and
shooting gallery.

The suggested location for the new
gymnasium is south of the present
Robinson gymnasium, near the pres-
ent women’s hockey fields.
