Completion of First Stage of Physics Building Appropriation — #280,000 In view of the fact t h a t movable equipment would not be purchased and could not be used in the building until near t h e end of the biennium when construction work is nearing completion, it seemed to the best interests of the University to defer the request for equipment allocations to the second stage, thus leaving the greatest possible sum for actual building construction of the first stage.

Statement of Relative Urgency Excerpts from the College's statement of relative urgency. Gross space shortage, inadequacy of present facilities, extreme dispersion of staff and the high percentage of temporary space combine to make the College's request an urgent one. Based on the original standards of the Building Program Committee, there is a deficit of approximately 23,300 square feet not including the space for Industrial Education and University High School. Over half of the College's existing space is in temporary-type facilities. One-fourth of the space is in the Parade Ground units which should be removed to complete the site development for the Men's Residence Halls. The College facilities are in twenty buildings dispersed from Springfield Avenue to Peabody Drive and from Lincoln Avenue to Fourth Street. The average square feet of office per staff member is approximately 74 net square feet with many staff members in offices of no more than 60 square feet.
