| Transcript | Standing eight stories, the library's new addition juts into the sky, above. Night lights accentuate the Engineering Building's design, below, and right, Liberal Arts escalators whisk students to class. The Computing Center's Sigma 7, above, communicates with remote control terminals all over campus. At the right is the Liberal Arts Building, a prize winning design by UH architecture graduates. Expansion Program Alleviates Cramped Facilities Nineteen seventy-two will be a very good year for the University of Houston as the $75 million building program nears completion. Three buildings and one addition, resulting from the campus expansion program, opened last year. The eight story library addition helped relieve cramped conditions-as its seating capacity was increased by 2,000 and the total number of volumes to one million. The new underground Computing Center is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the Southwest. Since it opened last year, approximately two thousand students use the facilities daily. Remote control terminals at various campus locations are used to "converse" with the Sigma 7 in the center. An outstanding feature of the College of Engineering Building is its rear stage projector which has been successfully tested for television projection. The Liberal Arts Building is a $4.5 million, prize winning design by UH architecture graduates. It is the only building on campus equipped with escalators. 70 71 |
