' The scene of campus con-
ltruction, formerly restricted
to the Forum, has now ex-
panded to include the area
around the Hall of Science
where work on a million-dollar
‘dditi‘on is now underway.

The project,.which includes
building of two new structures
4nd substantial alteration of
the existing science building,
Will add 33,500 square feet of
pace to the college’s science

cilities and is expected to be
eady for occupancy by the fall

f 1965.

niude an addition to the pres-
znt building—two levels and

a sement embracing 30,500

quare feet—and a new green-

Size.

“The present Hall of Science

only 12 years old. but we
ave already outgrown it,"
ean of the College James H.
tauss, acting president, said
day, “When this new project
a completed the college will
ave increased facilities for in-
atruction and research in the
sciences by about 6|) per cent"
He cited three urgent reasons
or expansion of science facil-
ties at Grinnell:

ll To enable the college to

 

meet increasing enrollment: in
this area of instruction.

2. To permit expansion of op-
portunities for independent
study, as well as student re-
search in collaboration with
faculty members.

3. To provide specialized re-
search and teaching facilities
which have previously been
impossible because of the lack
of space. These special facili-
ties, 'in addition to the green-
house, will include a "hot” lab-
oratory for working with radio-
active materials, and a con-
stant - temperature laboratory
for use by the biology depart-
ment.

When the project is com-
plete, the Grinnell physics de-
partment will be housed in
completely new quarters. oc-
cupying the basement and first
floor of the addition. The chem-
istry department will retain
its present quarters, but will
expand into the second floor of
the new building. Biology will
expand into the area vacated
by the physics department.

“The total science facilities
will be fully air—conditioned
when the project is completed,"
Mr. Stauss noted, “It will pro-
vide space for future faculty in-
creases in each department,
and will permit each faculty
