exclusively from state funds in 20
years. It will also be the first
major complete building to come
from the University's share of the
Especial 10-year building fund levy
enacted by the 1947 legislature.

General contract Olson Con
struction company, Lincoln, $473,
226 Plumbing, heating, ventilating
Natkin company, Omaha and Lin
coln, $68,200.

tric company, Lincoln, $49,335.
hardware Anderson iTardware

Engineers Replace V Hall
The new building, including a
finished basement and three stor
ies with an observatory on the
roof, will have over-all dimen
sions of 180 by 60 feet. It will
cover, in part, the site of old
University hall, the original uni
versity building constructed in
1870, on the Eleventh street line,
north of R.
In 1926 dismantling of old U.
hall was begun in the interest of
safety.' The original roof and two
top floors were removed. About
12 years ago the remaining single
flocr and basement were declared
unsafe despite the installation of
steel rods to hold the Walls to
gether. The general contract for the
new E. E. building includes razing
of what remains of U. hall and the
removal of one wing from the
present E. E. structure which is
also on the building site. The
north-south center line of old U.
hall will be marked with a me
morial plaque in the front en
trance approach to the new build
ing. Temporary Classrooms Used
The present E. E. building, a
one-story structure to- the north
of U. hall, was converted in 1893
from an old "wood shop". The
north end of the building is a lab
oratory which will remain in use
temporarily. Electrical engineering
classes, pending completion of the
new building, will be held in tem
porary buildings converted army
barracks already on the campus.
University officials expressed
the hope that the excavation and
footings for the new building will
be completed prior to the arrival
of bad weather this winter. If this
becomes a reality, the excavation
can be covered before snow, and
the way will be clear for prompt
installation of steel expected to
be delivered next spring.
