THE WAGNER MILITARY SCIENCE BUILDING, on Curtin
Road, now is more than 80 per cent completed. It is equipped
for classes and laboratories for all three branches of ROTC.
Military Building
Nears Completion
Get a pile of 310,000 bricks and 80,000 concrete blocks;
gather concrete, granite and limestone. Then find a construe-,
tion superintendent like Bill Beatty and you may be able to
start a structure similar to the new Wagner Military Science
Building if you have a million dollars.
On Curtin Road across from
the Wagner Field stands the Mili
tary Science building. It is 89
per cent complete, according to
Beatty, boss man for John Mc-
Shain Inc, which is handling the
construction.
The new building, 320 ft. long
and 60 ft. wide, will be the site
for military science classes and
laboratories for Army, Air Force
and Navy ROTC. In addition to
classrooms, laboratories and offi
ces, the building will house a rifle
range and storage room for weap
ons and equipment.
Since the Army ROTC has the
largest complement, most of the
ground floor storage space will
be allotted to them. Classroom
and office space will be given to
Army on the first floor. Air Force |
on the second, and Navy on the]
top deck. j
The roof above the 50-foot
building is specially, furnished
with some Navy signalling equip
ment, according to Beatty.
Adjoining the main structure
is what will be called “the ar
mory.” Mounted inside is a 5-inch
rotating gun, a duplicate of what
NROTC students will find on
battleships. According to Beatty,
the operation of the weapon will
include everything except firing
live ammunitidn.
This annex to the main build
ing will be the laboratory for
many of the tactical problems of
all three branches represented..
