Private grants received a big increase this year through the $55 million fund rais- ing drive. The University also takes loans on profit-producing ventures, such as parking struc- tures and sells bonds. Student fees finance only a small part of the total construction program. The planning behind currently approved priority facilities was be- gun at least 10 years ago. Available space and future needs had to be determined far in advance. Just as in 1892, when the University de- cided to buy land a remote four blocks from crowded Central Cam- pus for its new hospital; so in 1951 another predicted space pinch led to the purchase of the North Campus area. Detailed studies of the future of' Central Campus, the medical area, North Campus, and the routes con- necting them have proven this purchase to be a sound invest- ment and made the University the envy of most universities. An im- portant decision has already placed the School of. Music on North Campus and the entire Engineer- ing College is to be moved there in five phases, to be completed by 1980. This plan would leave Central Campus to the other schools and allow space for the medical center to expand. The Residential College has been selected between the medical cen- ter and the entrance to North Campus on a site which is now a city golf course. Funding will be delayed but it is projected that with, its completion, one long, but unified campus will be the result. The residential program is tem- porarily being housed in a portion of East Quadrangle. Although the commitment for the facilities is firm, the arrange- ments may not be ready for con- struction for more than a year. If the concept proves as glamorous as expected, other units may be established on the far end of North Campus. But despite strikes and funding problems, actual construction to- day dots the campus and signs mark the location of other major facilities which are approved, funded and soon to be built. The most conspicious site today is that of the $16.8 million Dental school building, which stands in back of Health Service. The Old Dental School facility is scheduled for demolition in the winter of 1968 to make way for a section of the new building. The entire facil-' ity will be ready by late 1969,1 funded mainly by the state andI partly by federal project grants.1 Soon to begin a $5.2 millionz addition to the General Library,£ which will add space for 700,000 volumes and 740 badly-needed study carrells. This will relieve a space shortage which has forced storage of more than 300,000 vol- umes in the past few years. A rare book room with a 100,000 volume" capacity, a map room, manuscript rooms and new cataloging facil- ities will add to the quality of the eight-story unit, to be connectedt to the back of the existing build-t ing. Construction will begin this. fall and completion is scheduled for summer, 1969. A new administrative office building is rising directly in back of the old administration building. When completed, this spring, the administration offices will be moved and the old building will be converted to provide much- needed literary college office space. On the medical campus, a ten- year expansion program to meet the needs brought out inda study completed in 1965 is under way. The study found that existing facilities will not be adequate to provide the minimum opportuni- ties of medical education in 1975. The biggest project is Medical Science II Building, which will be ready for occupancy next year. in the fall of 1968 and will op- signed to be a combination of the This building has classroom and erate closely with the College of modern and traditonal stage.
