LOCATION OF CERTAIN NEW BUILDINGS:
The President then took up the matter of location of certain of the buildings forming part of
the expansion program for housing, feeding and entertaining additions to the student attendance at the
University. Mr. Stockmar, representing Eggers & Higgins the architects for the new construction,
was present and entered into a general discussion of the matter.
The President stated that following the meeting of the Board on May 4, 1945, at which time the
location for the women's buildings was approved for the site northwest of Scott Stadium, further study
had been given the matter and it was found that a site on the south side of the grounds, south of McIntire
Amphitheatre, would provide space sufficient for a central building and dormitories that would care for
the expected enrollment of women for several years; that the matter had been discussed with the Governor
who was agreeable to the change provided the site formerly selected be reserved for future location
when the need demanded it.
On motion, the following resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, that the location of the Women's Buildings, be changed from the site approved
on May 4, 1945, northwest of Scott Stadium, to the location shown on plate #5, south of
McIntire Amphitheatre as to present construction but the former site be reserved for
future construction.
RESOLVED, that the cafeteria building in connection with the new dormitories for men be
located on the old golf links near Route #29.
RESOLVED, that the Student Union Building be located on the site on map #6.
RESOLVED, further, that the President be instructed to advise the architects to go
forward with preparation of construction plans for the proposed buildings.
The meeting then adjourned.
