The National Science Foundation granted $714,000 to support lab and graduate train-' ing facilities. The remaining $903,000 came from the state. "Graduate students will bene fit most from the building," Waller said. "There are 10 0 grad student offices in the new building we didn't have any before." "In a graduate program we need lots of space and we can offer most of the experimental programs. Now the graduates will be able to interact with other people doing research," Waller explained. The Psychology department will unite in its new home Sept. 1. It is currently spread out in six buildings over the campus. Most of the teaching will still be done outside the new build ing, however. The largest classroom in Da vie holds only about 90 students. The building is primarily for re search and housing of faculty. Big lectures such as Psych 26 will be held in Carroll Hall.
