TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TWENTY-TTMEE e 'U Buildings, Facilities Rising ( )uickly ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNGER CHILDREN NEEDING MENTAL CARE WILL BE ATTENDED SEPARATELY IN THE NEW CHILDREN'S PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL DAILY PHOTO FEATU RE Pictures by DEAN MORTON Story by JANE HOWARD With huge hammers pounding deafeningly onto solid steel and hundreds of workmen climbing scaffolds to precarious heights, the University begins the fall semester with well over $3 million worth of new building projects under con- struction. Much of the activity centers on the new North Campus area, one mile north of Ann Arbor across the Huron River. There the Cooley Me- morial Laboratory, completed last spring and currently the only struc- ture being used on the new cam- pus, is quickly being surrounded by other projects. Directly to the west of the Coo- ley Bldg. is the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory, a $1,041,000 structure financed by the Michigan Memo- rial Phoenix Project and planned to provide research facilities for the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Radioactive Research Now in early stages, the Phoenix Laboratory will be completed next summer. Prof. Henry J. Gomberg of the physics department, Phoenix Project assistant director, termed the laboratory a "research center for faculty, graduate students and outside industries, where radioac- tive materials can be handled in large quantities under safe condi- tions." Equipment in the laboratory, Prof. Gomberg pointed out, will be as versatile as possible, with facili- ties planned for both physical and biological sciences. Atomic Caves Of the Phoenix Laboratory's many complex and unque features, Prof. Gomberg considers its two underground atomic caves the most symbolic of the project itself. Shielded by solid steel doors weigh- ing 18 tons each, the caves will al- low for use and storage of great amounts of radioactivity. Experiments in the caves will be carried out by remote control, with a set of manipulators inside the room to duplicate the motions of external hands. Phoenix Project work will be complete with the addition, in more than a year, of a nuclear reactor wing to the laboratory. Studies of radiation will center around the re- actor, which will provide a high- level source of radiation and many research and teaching devices. Next to benefit from the 377- acre North Campus tract will be the School of Music, now uncom- fortably limited by its overcrowd- ed facilities. Housing for married students and staff members is also planned to develop on the new campus, facing Plymouth Rd. Library Facilities December, 1954, is the comple- tion date set for the $457,147 Cen- tral Service and Stack Bldg., south of the Cooley Bldg. Financed by State Legislature funds, the structure represents the first step in meeting a long-standing need for additional library facilities. It will hold books and periodicals not in every-day use at the main library. Another library being erected is the Kreske Memorial Building, ad- jacent to the north of the new Kresge Medical Bldg. To accommodate strong increas- es in nursing student numbers, work has begun on an extension to Couzens Hall, nurses' dormitory, Welcome to "MICHIGAN" and to BALFOUR'S*...

WERTZ, NORTH CAMPUS PROJECT SUPERINTENDENT, INSPECTS ONE OF TWO ATOMIC CAVES UNDER CONSTRUCTION which will more than double the building's present capacity of 269. Costing nearly $2 million, the building should be complete by fall of 1955. Children's Hospital Also under construction in the area is a new children's psychi- atric hospital, next to the isolation ward. Unique for its provision of separate facilities for adolescents and younger children, the hospital has been financed by Act 230 of the 1953 State Legislature. - - - ADJACENT TO THE MEDICAL BUILDING, THE NEW KRESGE LIBRARY WILL HOLD MEDICAL VOLUMES The PARROT Restaurant GOOD FOOD at reasonable prices Closed Sundays...
