PAGE TWO Crew and Equipment Occupy East Campus Construction crews and equipment seem quite the thing these days, especially on the eastern parts of campus Directly across from Itetzel Union on Pollock read is what will soon be the Hall of the Americas. This building, when fully completed, will stand four itories high, contain 65 modern classrooms, and le v Workmen said they are in time for the spring semester. Tramping further down campus can be found an enormous as.,em bly of cranes, bulldozers, and drills that seem to occupy most of the space across from Ather ton Hall at Shortlidge road and College avenue. The construction when cl)m !Acted will add beauty, luxurious comfort, and living quarters for 1000 woman students on campus. 5 Separate Buildings The entire project will consist of five separate unit "buildings. It will include four residence lwlls and a dining room. ' Each unit, other than the din ing hall, will be four stories high. Comfort to Coeds To add to the students' con venience, an underground con course will connect each unit with the centrally located dining hall. It is felt that this will shel ter coeds from inclement weather in going and coming from adjoin ing units. Each residence hail will be identical in design. New Method Used In its actual construction, the project will be aided in a new construction method never oefore used in this section of the cotin .fry. The first floor concrete slab will be in normal fashion in ,each of tae dormitories: however. upon laying the first floor Mali, a plastic base compound is ap plied to the surface. Second Floor Slab {:in top of this, workmen will pour the second floor slab; this will also be covered with la ptas tic base compound. This same procedure will be carried out un til the third and fourth floor have been laid one upon another. At that time, the Lift Slab Company, which employs the lift slab method will enter the scene. Hydraulic Jacks Used Huge hydraulic jacks will be placed over the tops of the build ings columns and will lift the slab floors into their proper posi tion. This new construction method is believed to be able to save much time in the project's com pletion.
