The deficiency is being included in the building program and request for state capital appropriations for 1967-69, and, if approved, construction should start in the summer of 1967 with completion in 1969. When the funds for this project were included in the 1963-65 capital program, the College accepted larger enrollments in 1964 in anticipation of the increased facilities being available this fall. As a result of the delays in construction, there will be serious problems in accommodating classes in Clinical Medicine. The College staff has studied the alternatives and has concluded that its problems can be alleviated to a certain extent by minor remodeling which would include the addition of a temporary 34 feet by 30 feet concrete unit at the Veterinary Research Farm and the construction of twelve supplementary box stalls for large animals. The total project would consist of 3,468 square feet and the estimated cost is $67,260.
