University Walls Have Only Bulged Not Broken, Because Of Planning
Accommodating the greatest enrollment in history, the walls of the University have bulged at the seams, but they haven't broken. One of the reasons for this elasticity is the drawing board of George M. Beal, professor of architecture.
In his files are detailed plans of temporary schemes for expanding classroom space and providing housing facilities, and on the walls of his office in Marvin hall are sketches of the permanent changes and improvements that will be made in the future.
The most recent test of Professor Beal's drafting skill was the division of the high-ceilied Marvin auditorium, the former room 206, into two floors of compact classroom space.
To accomplish this, the construction workers erected girders halfway between the floor and the ceiling, and then laid a second floor. Then they tore out part of the wall to give access to a mammoth drafting room that had been waste space before the reconversion.
At the top of Professor Beal's list of possible future improvements is
the construction of two housing centers, one for men and one for women, at opposite tips of the campus "horseshoe."
The site for the proposed women's center would be on North College hill, part of which is now occupied by Corbin hall. The five additional buildings suggested would be grouped around the hill, taking full advantage of the view and providing a landscaped central court.
The men's dormitories would be on the side of the hill just west of Memorial stadium, and slightly higher than the structure being built now at the foot of the slope. Five more buildings would go up under the tentative plan.
The proposed buildings would house approximately 160 persons and cost an estimated $290,000 each
The Sunnyside apartment development, now under construction on the southern slope of Mt Oread, is only a temporary unit, Professor Beal said. It will have to be torn down, according to federal law, within two years after the national emergency is declared closed.
