Stone and Steel
NO ONE can resist watching construction in progress—from the first bulldozer nosing out the earth to the steel girders rising against the sky.
For the past year students have had the opportunity to mentally supervise the building of the ultra-modern science building going up on the slope of Mount Oread.
The slope of the Hill being what it is, the main entrance on the north side is two floors above the ground line of the south side of the building.
Most interested in the completion of the structure expected sometime next fall一are the physics, chemistry and pharmacy students and instructors who will be the new tenants.
It's quite a structure. About 9,900 yards of concrete, 550 tons of reinforcing steel and 100 tons of structural steel have gone into the $2½ million building—plus about 1,200 tons of native Kansas limestone quarried near Junction City.
