Future University expansion will
come largely on North Campus, a
700-acre tract of rolling land lo-
cated a mile northeast of the main
campus area.
Since University President Har-
lan Hatcher broke ground for the
first structure five years ago, seven
units have been completed.
If funds from the State Legisla-
ture are forthcoming, construction
will start on two others this year,
according to John G. McKevitt,
assistant to Vice - President in
Charge of Business and Finance
Wilbur K. Pierpont.
These two structures are the
School of Music Building and the
Cyclotron-Synchrotron of the en-
gineering college.
Music Has Priority
The music school structure will
have priority in construction.
Plans drawn up include a central
administration and service area,
also housing a student center, with
wings on each side.
One of these wings will include
the studios, classrooms and prac-
tice rooms, while the other will
house band and choral rehearsal
halls. .
The proposed building will oc-
cupy 110,000 square feet of land.
An organ recital unit will be placed
behind the administration area.
If a sufficiently large appropria-
tion is granted by the Legislature,
work may also begin on the cyclo-
tron-synchrotron. The i machines
here will be used to speed up elec-
trons and neutrons, respectively,
before these particles are used in
atomic bombarbment. The cyclo-
tron-synchrotron will- be one of
several engineering- college struc-
tures.

tions to the campus is the Aero-
nautical Engineering Laboratory.
Three wind tunnels are housed
in this building. One of these gen-
erates winds of up to 7,500 miles
per hour, ten times the speed of
sound. Experiments of guided mis-
siles .and space satellies are carried
out in this tunnel, which winds
in a closed circle for 300 feet out-°
side the main building.
The two smaller tunnels create
winds with velocities between 750
and 3,000 miles per hour for pur-
poses of research and instruction.

was also completed last fall, al-
though this building has been in
use since its dedication in June,
1955. 'The third floor was just
finished.
Peacetime Lab
This building is the only non-
governmental laboratory in the
country used for research in peace-
tiine uses of atomic energy. Alum-
hi and public donations supplied
the $1,700,000 needed to complete
the building, a memorial to the

Ford Nuclear Reactor was also
completed in conjunction with
Phoenix Memorial Building. Here
neutron bombardment is carried,
on {in a 40,000 gallon "swimming
pool." This is the nation's most
powerful private atomic reactor.
First building on the campus
was the Mortimer E. Cooley Me-
morial Building, named for the
dean of the engineering college
from 1903 to 1928. This was dedi-
cated in the fall of 1953.
