pus.
One of the “outstanding” interior
features, Holleman pointed out, is
the maximum flexibility of floor
space. By use of specially de
signed movable partitions, the
floor space can be varied to ac
commodate larger or smaller
classes.
THE BUILDING contains 47,000
square feet of enclosed space. A
200-seat auditorium for lecture
and special programs is located on
the first floor, across the hall from
a 12,000 volume library.
Another unique feature is the
use of “gray glass” that stretches
almost the entire length of the
building. The tinted glass, separ
ate from the windows, allows nat
ural lighting and at the same time
prevents glare.
Two large landscaped courtyards
will be used for display purposes.
An adjoining facility, a silo
shaped structure capped with a
dome, will be the research center.
Second and third level walkways
connect the two buildings.
The research facility will be one
of the best in the United States,
Holleman said.
HOLLEMAN calls the dome a
“simulated sky.” Around the in
side of the dome are 68 lights, all
calibrated into different intensities.
Turned on, the lights are equal to
a “hazy day.”
Along with the skylights in the
research center is an airflow pro
posed chamber, another technique
for studying the effects of nature
upon proposed structures. A sun
lamp is also available.
Enrollment in the Division of
Architecture totals 370. With these
new facilities, Holleman believes
the number of undergraduate and
graduate students will increase.
