Hanes Addition
Now Underway
Workmen have just begun construction
on one of the Medical Center’s newest
building projects—an addition to Hanes
House.
The one-story, 15,000-square foot
facility, located adjacent to the south side
of Hanes, will house faculty and staf|
offices, lecture hall, conference rooms,
and the Dean of Nursing's suite for her
office and staff.
The new building will be made of
concrete and stucco finish and trimmed
with Duke,'s traditional Hillsborough
stone. The designers are the architectural
firm of Carr, Harrison, Pruden and
DePasquale.
The building contractor, C. T. Wilson
Construction Company, Inc., has
scheduled the facility for completion in
November of 1972.
The Hanes addition, which has been
under planning since 1970, will be funded
in chief by a $308,759 federal grant from
the National Institutes of Health. The
Medical Center also received $200,000
from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
and $58,000 from the Duke Endowment.
The building cost is estimated at
$571,468.
Mrs. Dorothy Brundage, assistant
professor of nursing and chairman of the
Facilities Committee for the School of
Nursing, explained that the building was
planned to provide badly needed facilities
for teaching. "It will not only improve
our educational program," she said, "but
it will also consolidate the nursing faculty
offices and’ some instructional fa
cilities."
Hanes House will for the most part be
a dormitory, though the library and some
’faculty offices and classrooms in the
south wing will remain there. The new
administrative-educational facility will
free existing space for additional
dormitory use.
