PLANS ON BUILDING
PROGRAM GO FORWARD
By Sara Ingold
This is that frustrating period
in the building program when the
plans go from the consultant to the
architect to the engineer to the
faculty to the architect. And so it
goes round and round.
Miss Bonnie Cone reports that
the college still hopes to start the
fall quarter of 1960 on the new
campus The immediate building
plans have beeen received from
the consultant and are being re
viewed by the faculty. Th* long
range plans have been presented
to the architects, and work is being
done on allocating areas for spe
cific buildings and activities.
The faculty, students, and friends
of Charlotte College are looking
forward to the day when ground
will be broken for the new build
ing. On that day a dream of many
years will begin to come true.
