THE COMPLETELY REMODELED STUDENT UNION held its grand opening last February. The $21/2 million union building was doubled in size with five floor additions on the north and south sides. The new Union features a ballroom designed to accommodate 1000 couples, banquet rooms, cafeteria, bookstore, bowling alleys, record room and library, student organization offices, conference rooms, and a main lounge. The Union has the most complete recreational and eating facilities of any student union building in this part of the United States.
WHEN THE NEW SCIENCE BUILDING is opened this fall, an opportunity for greater scientific experiments will be given to K.U. students. The new building includes laboratories, classrooms, research facilities, and a huge science library. It will be divided into three parts to accommodate the chemistry, physics, and pharmacy departments. Four basement rooms will have the temperature controlled for research and storage.
THE NEW FOWLER SHOPS, completed in 1948, is one of the most completely equipped industrial arts shops in the nation. Located at the southwest end of he campus, the building cost $200,000. It is named after George Fowler, father of the man who in 1898 donated the money for old Fowler Shops. The old Fowler Shops now houses the journalism school.
