Statement of Relative Urgency The needs of laboratory sciences are the most urgent and some are dangerously critical. If we assume new buildings for (1) College of Education (space then becomes available for Psychology) and (2) Plant Sciences and the remaining Agricultural space in Davenport Hall (this space assigned to Geology), Liberal Arts and Sciences needs these new buildings: (1) Completion of Biology Building (2) Chemistry Building The other needs can be cared for in reassigned space in (1) Davenport Hall (for Geology), (2) Gregory Hall, (3) West Noyes Laboratory, and (4) Natural History Building. a. T h e completion of the Plant Science first unit for Agronomy will vacate space in Davenport Hall which has been assigned to the Geology Department, the Liberal Arts and Sciences number one priority. b.
