A program of requirement, a doc ument used to solicit bids from ar chitectural firms, is being prepared by General Wesley E. Peel, vice chancellor of Facilities Planning and' Construction. Dr. Bruce McCormick, head of the computer science department, said the building, which is estimated to cost $9.4 million, would be located on Spence Street between the new Civil Engineering Building and Zachry Engineering Center, if ap proved. The Department of Computer Science, which has the second largest number of students in the College of Engineering, has no space for its needs or for the programmed ex pansion of its faculty and staff, Mc Cormick said. “We’re moving to an information and knowledge intensive society, which will provide an increasing op portunity for students majoring in computer science and computer en gineering,” McCormick said. The expansion of faculty and staff is essential to reduce current exces sive teaching overloads, and to de velop a vigorous program of re search, said a report to the board. The long range plans of the de partment include increasing sub stantially the number of faculty and graduate students and greatly ex panding the departmental research base, the report said. According to the report, the qual ity of other programs in the College of Engineering is being jeopardized by the current allocation of space re sources. McCormick said the Board of Re gents expects his department to re quest approval of the architectural contract in May 1986. “Pending approval, architectural work will begin in roughly one year and construction in two years, he said.” quality ntf; halal meats iricesfo 1 ’ 0 * 8 ' a)/822-' ss #’ the Hf DUS? jlers rn D aIf Tb \e 9:15P'! inflC® Vara re* Registration Rm. 266 of G.
