Dean I'rrjjiiMUi Appoint Commillee to Probe
Inadequacies; One Proposal Calls for
Structure Facing 12th Street.
Altlmujrii aware that there is no money for a liuildinp pro
fs nun now, Iho enpincerincr roll pro. has nevertheless appointed
a committee to study possible future building plans and to elar
ifv present enjiineeringr housing problems. Prof. Liniw Burr
Smith, chairman of the department of architecture, is chairman,
asisled by Professors u. e.. poison, j
Jilcs V. Haney, u. e-. Aiicaey anu
Dean O. J. Ferguson.
Building facilttiep are at pres
ent grossly inadequate. Dean Fer
guson declared, with no sufficient
room for classrooms, laboratories
or office space. The oldest build
ing still used by the college is
the electrical engineering building,
a 56,500 structuie which was orig
inally built in 1894 to house the
power plant.
A few years later the old Me
chanics arts building waa con
structed, and in spite of the fact
that it never was finished on the
inside, it still serves the dean, the
departments of engineering me
chanics, civil engineering, mathe
matics and engineering library.
Move Department.
Cramped conditions have made
it necessary to transfer the high
way testing department of the
school to quarters in the old boiler
house. To give the architects
more room, they have been moved
to the basement of the Temple. The
two modern buildings are the Me
chanical Engineering and the Ag
ricultural Engineering units.
The present setup, with the vari
ous departments so widely scat
tered, is not as desirable nor as
economical as it would be if the
.several offices were housed in one
large building. Chairmen of the
departments have been asked to
make a checkup on the amount of
space they now have as well as
the amount tbey really need.
While plans are still indefinite,
one proposal calls for a new build
in f faeine- 12th street between
the former museum and Nebraska
ormer museum ana jxeorasK. ,
with a long wing extemng
