In 10-Year Plan
Campus Face Lifting Continues
By Susan Flood
More goes into University expansion than money, mortar, machine and manpower.
For back of the buildings are the builders, one of whom is Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations, plant development and co-ordinations.
This large title encompasses a large job. It encompasses such things as construction to keep pace with enrollment, and development to keep pace with construction.
"It IS IMPORTANT to the student and to the University that not only are there good facilities for classroom and laboratory work but also that there are good walks, streets and parking lots available," Lawton said.
"Just as we appreciate the student and faculty patience during the library construction, so we think they appreciate conveniences such as the campus walk now being constructed over Potter Lake dam and the planned two-way loop which will connect Watkin's Hospital, new Blake and new Fraser Hall with Lilac Lane."
With the library revamping almost complete, and Blake 45 per cent finished, the next activity will be on the intramural fields where a new gymnasium will begin to rise in September.
In the planning also is a biological science building where Robinson Annex and tennis courts are located.
WHEN THESE TWO are complete, Robinson and Haworth will come down to make room for a building with about four floors of classrooms and two or more of offices.

"It is more convenient to have a classroom building on the top of the hill, and to move the gymnasium and sciences somewhat further away. Although there is need for general classrooms the space across from Strong Hall must be made available first," Lawton said.
The hope is that new Fraser can be started before late fall. The building will house behavior sciences, and it is hoped that some additional funds will be available through science and research foundation grants.
Although new Fraser will replace the Pioneer Statue and part of Lilac Lane, the eight-story replacement will reflect the traditional style of
the east campus. Old and new Fraser will stand together until the land across from Strong Hall is available for more classroom space.
When old Fraser falls, it is hoped that the landmark flags of the twin towers can be transferred to the new building.
THE 10-YEAR plan of University construction will be designed according to increasing enrollment demands, Lawton said. He projected additions to Mallott and Lindley, a new graphic arts and architecture building and possibly a small administration office building.
The annexes, however, will remain for quite awhile.
