Construction of the six-floor addi
tion to the Texas A&M University
library is ahead of schedule toward
1978 fall semester occupation.
The new structure abuts against
the east wall of the existing building
and will bring total floor space in
Sterling C. Evans Library to
500,000 square feet.
The $9.7 million project includes
renovation of the present building
after the new segment is occupied.
The completed work will provide
space for two million volumes.
The new additon is 48 percent
complete, according to Lloyd
Barge, construction inspector of
Texas A&M’s facilities department
The library addition started Sept.
18, 1977, and is three and a half
months ahead of schedule. Barge
noted. Completion of the addition is
expected Nov. 13, but it could be in
early December, contractor Walter
Biggie said.
Director of Libraries Dr. Irene
Hoadley has initiated planning for a
.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiL.
mid-November move, though it
would be inconvenient for library
users. A between-semester move
would be acceptable to the library
staff’.
Bids are out now for additional
shelving. Only the first four floors
and part of the fifth are planned to
be initially furnished. The remain
der is planned for later expansion.
Floors of the new and old build
ings will work as single units via cor
ridors through the east face of the
existing structure.
Librarians like the flexibility of
the layout, said Charles Smith of the
library faculty. The first two floors
will have offices, meeting rooms and
some interior walls, he said. The
third floor will have open floor space
with built-in electrical, telephone
and computer connections.
“Students should find the lounge
space a surprise feature,’’ Smith
added. Study carrels are included
on the third and fourth floors. Some
basement parking is planned.
Biggie said the Nov. 13 comple
tion date hinges on getting six to
eight more bricklayers who are in
high demand. “We’ve done remark
able well on the job, though I’m not
as pleased on the weather and mate
rials as I could be,’ he remarked.
“Actually, we re a little behind on
our schedule, though ahead on the
University’s. ”
The construction work will be
aided by the long-range weather
outlook, which includes less than
normal rainfall.

More automobiles are going more
miles in Texas, projecting a bleak
picture for the next few years.
There’s rough road ahead for the
Texas motorist, a transportation
specialist believes — especially for
the Houston and Dallas urban areas.
A combination of more vehicles
spilling out of big cities, a traffic
mix of different size vehicles and
increasing truck transport of all
goods appears certain, said Dr. C. V.
Wootan. Traffic death rate t s and
serious injuries are predicted to rise.
The Texas Transportation Insti
tute director at Texas A&M Univer
sity said it is resulting from Texas’
strong economic growth, influx of
new population and increasing in
dustrial activity. Hanis County last
year added a net of 411 cars a day to
its freeways and highways.
“This annual addition, if parked
bumper to bumper, would stretch
from downtown Houston to Plano,’
Wootan said.
At the same time, Houston did
not add a single mile to its freeway
network.
