BREVARD COLLEGE, OCTOBER 10, 1959
NUMBER 1
NEALE REIGNS OVER HOMECOMING WEEK-END
New Building
Program Begun
The construction of a new science
,building, this fall, will mark the
winning of an extensive building
Sam on campus. This structure
will house the biology, chemistry
and phvsics departments, along with
the math sections. All new build-
ines will be modernly styled in con
trast to the modified traditional
architecture of present structures.
The entire program is being de
signed by Henry McDonald, local
architect and Brevard college fac
ulty member.
Another present plan is for a new
gymnasium and athletic field to be
located on the north -end of the
campus. The present library facili
ties will be expanded by complete
renovation inside. In particular
more stacks and reading room will
be added.
Less urgently needed, but also in
the plan are new housing facilities
for both men and women. The con
struction of a new administration
ibuilding will permit the renovation
cf the main floor of the present
center building to be used as part
of the music department. These
plans point up the fact that Brevard
is an ever progressing institution
striving to meet the educatior.al
needs of her area.
