Printing Plant and Geological Survey

The Board also reviewed the plans for the Printing Plant and the State Geological Survey
Building which had been changed from a single 2-story building, housing both of these units, to two
1-story buildings; the Printing Plant located South of the Engineering Building on the site of the
proposed 2-story building, and the Geological Survey Building about five hundred feet West of the
University Cemetery.

After a review of the revised plans for the Printing Plant, these plans were approved.

In connection with the Building for the State Geological Survey, President Darden pointed out
that this was an outlay to be paid for by the State Conservation Commission, and what the Board was
being asked was to approve the allocation of the site and to approve the plans, a 1-story building with
flat roof.

After a review of the site plan showing where this building would be located and an explanation
of its relationship to the proposed Natural Resources Building, the Board approved the allocation
of the site and the plans, pointing out that they felt that since the building was being paid for out
of Conservation Commission funds, their approval of the building plans was hardly necessary.
