CEMENTING DOWN THE GROUND FLOOR-J^\s is a ground-floor view of the
Seeley G. Mudd Building, the new medical library, now under construction near the
Bell Building. The ground floor will house mechanical facilities and loading and
receiving areas. It will also contain a lounge foyer and a sloped-floor lecture-theatre
which will go in the area shown in the upper right section of this picture. Workmen
prepare to lay more of the reinforced concrete floor at the lower right. This picture
was taken from the Bell Building looking west toward Research Drive. The five-story
l)uilding is named for the late Dr. Mudd, a California physician and medical educator.
The Seeley G. Mudd Fund of Los Angeles donated SI.5 million toward the library's
S5.3 million cost. The building will contain 91,000 square feet. It will have 10 miles of
shelves, suff icent to house 270,000 volumes, and will have space for 500 readers. The
second level will include a terrace, administrative offices, an exhibit area, leisure
reading room and the medical history collection. The third level, where an access ramp
will lead to the lobby, will contain most of the general library services. The fourth and
fifth levels will house the library's extensive collection of periodicals and monographs.
The libiaiy will be completed in 1975. (Photo by Dale Moses)
