(Continued from Page 1) provided through the federal gov- ernment's college assistance acts and such agencies as the National Institute of Health. 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, funded mainly by the state and partly by federal project grants. Soon to begin a $5.2 millionI 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 connected to the back of the existing build- 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 in a study completed in 1965 is under way. The study found that existing facilities will not be adequateto 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. This building has classroom and laboratory space which will per- mit the completion of a transfer of medical school departments not now in the medical campus area and will allow overcrowded literary college and pharmacy units to move into the East Medical Build- ing, emptied by the move. On the other side of the hos- pital, the C.S. Mott Children'sI Hospital is nearing completion. Supported by the private Mott Foundation, it represents a major, addition to the hospital's clinical facilities and will allow expansion of pediatrics studies and relieve units of the Hospital building. Another privately funded project is the Upjohn Center for Clinical Pharmacology which will begin to rise behind the Hospital in the spring. This wil be a major Phar- maceutical research facility. Another major project which will begin next spring is the $6.6 million first phase of a building for the School of Public Health in the medical center. Funded by federal and private grants, it will be completed in 1970, at which time the $4.5 million second phase will begin which will allow the school to double its enrollment. On the North Campus, grants from the Automobile Manufact- ures Association are building a $4 million Highway Saftety Research Center at the far end of the campus. This facility will openj pus Commons, the facility will be connected with the Engineering Graduate studies. Housing, also, has been ex- panded to North Campus, in anticipation of the increasing programs. The $8.1 million Bur- sley and $4.1 million Vera Baits dormitory complexes will both be open this fall and their conven- ience will improve when more' classes are held on North Campus. Married student housing, as' well, will get a 400 unit expansion when the $7.5 million Northwood IV complex is started this fall, The $6.4 million University Events Building will open to its nirst basketball game inpDecem- ber, a year behind schedule, due to a construction accident, which damaged its roof supports and to several construction strikes, But, the projects mentioned represent just a fraction of the plans which are slated for the near future. When means for fin- ancing them have been arranged, each of the following will be pri- ority items. The University Theatre, to be located on the corner of Huron and Thayer Streets, has been de- avoid the need to use Hill Audi- torium which was not designed for stage productions. Another high priority item is a major building for the college of Architecture and Design on North Campus, to replace the present building which was built for only a third of the current enrollment. A 21 acre site has. been set aside and first appropriations have been requested for summer 1969. The building currently being used will then be converted for use by the literary college.' A $4.7 million School of Edu- cation huilding has also been sug- gested in order to move the educa- tion school to North Campus, where more space is available. In the meantime, University High School, whose students are being transferred to the new Huron High School, will be remodeled and receive an addition for the sole use of the university., Current plans call-for that work to begin next summer. And even these projects repre- sent Just a fraction 'of the ex- pansion possibilities under consid- eration by the administration.
