University in Boone to view the
new Audiovisual Center facili

Construction is expected to
begin around September 1, de

revenue bonds for the building.
The nine-story structure will
be the twin of the 400-resident
dormitory occupied in Septem
ber, 1966, by freshman women
at the school.
Contracts to be let following
the July 11 bid opening are
the general contract, electrical
contract, plumbing contract,
heating and ventilating con

Designed by the architec
tural firm of Harris and Pyne

consist of nine full stories and
a partial basement.
The first floor will contain
offices, lounges and special use
areas. Other floors will contain
dormitory bedrooms.
Bedrooms are specially de

Desks, bookshelves and lighting
are arranged for individual
study, with study rooms on
each floor available for group
study.
Two fast elevators will whisk
students to and from the
ground floor in a matter of
seconds.
The dormitory is to be built
on George Street, adjacent to
the new student union building
now under construction. The
other high-rise dormitory is
just across George Street from
the site of the new one.
Features of the dormitory
will include individual mail
boxes; a spacious, tastefully
and colorfully furnished lounge;
a social and game room; a
study room on each floor con
taining a blackboard, bulletin
board, typing desks, tables and
chairs; and a laundry on each

and dryer, plus ironing facili
ties.
