PART III | THE LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN G. CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

While the plan of the academic campus ^ d e v e l o p e d on the basic geometry of a hexagon, it shouia oe noted that most of the buildings, the classroom - 1 laboratory buildings in particular, are f 8 8 6 * * " 1 * rectangular and that the basic structural module in all of these buildings is 5'-0", with the column spacing in general 20' x 30" or 20' x 60' or multiples thereof. Non-typical buildings of special functions such as the auditorium, gymnasium and library may be different in construction. Recommended: 1) For flexibility, permanence and low maintenance the basic construction of all buildings shall be of skeleton construction in reinforced concrete or fireproofed steel. Buildings of fairly typical space needs are to be loft type with provision for partitions and lighting and ACHV at 5' intervals. For ease of expansion, all buildings shall provide for some vertical growth. For harmony, exterior wall surfaces are to be essentially in masonry, that is, exposed structural concrete or precast concrete, or stone in warm colors and brick of medium to dark russet tones.

2) 3)

4) All roofs, excepting those where special design conditions may dictate flat roofs, are to be sloped to a minimum angle of 22° from the horizontal; and the roof materials are to be in fine clay tile or copper. 5)
