New Home for School of Business Nearing Debut
A KANSAS U.N. BUILDING — Summerfield Hall, new building for the School of Business, shows utility and modern design in this expanse of southern exposure. The building, to be occupied in September, was designed by the state architect's office. This view looks east along the south wall of Summerfield. The other sides have much less window area.
"It looks just like the U.N. building."
That is the most frequent comment on Summerfield Hall, new home of the School of Business. The picture shows the south face of Summerfield.
Present plans call for classes to start in Summerfield Hall at the beginning of the fall semester.
Inside, modern, colorful rooms and offices will provide a cheerful atmosphere for students and faculty.
The basic colors for the concrete block painted walls are chamos, light sage, pale turquoise, wood rose and beige.
The offices, typing rooms, interview rooms, seminar rooms, reading rooms, statistical laboratory, reception rooms, rest rooms, and approximately 20 classrooms will be painted in shades of these five basic colors, according to Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations.
Acoustical tile ceilings throughout the building will be painted an off white. The hand rails will be a light sage color.
A huge window wall on the south side of the building gives a modern air to the architectural style. The light green glazed block tile on the south interior wall will complement the glass and aluminum window construction. The stairwells will be of buff glazed tile.
The north face of aluminum and glass has green stone paneling intec-
spersed with buff velure face brick. The interior stone is Kansas silver-dale. Crab Orchard, Tenn., limestone is the exterior stone used on the west face of the front near the main entrance.
Some of the special features of the building are air conditioning throughout; four case discussion classrooms; a ramped projection and lecture hall seating 166 persons, and a student lounge to be operated by the Kansas Union located on the first floor. The IBM 650 computer, now in the basement of Strong Hall, will be moved to the new building.
Summerfield Hall, designed by the State Architects Office, will house the School of Business, Department of Economics, Department of Secretarial Training, Center for Business Research, and University Computation Center.
