Edifice Erected at Cost of $80,000
Completion of the Foyer of Town and Gown building today climaxes the construction of one of the most modern buildings on the campus, at a cost of more than $80,000.
The building covers a ground area of 12.140 square feet and is one story high with the exception of the two-story section at the west end.
It is of Italian Renaissance type architecture, corresponding with other university buildings. The front entrance is at the two-story section and leads into a reception room 30 by 60 feet, with the banquet hall to the right, about 58 feet by 120.
The banquet hall will seat 600 people, and an additional number, should the occasion demand, can be accommodated in the reception room. At the north end of the reception hall, doors lead out to the patio between the Foyer and the Women’s Residence hall. A fountain is situated at the east end.
At the left of the patio is a chapel which, with its soft lights, has an atmosphere all its own. The reception room is raised 18 inches above the level of the banquet room so as to make a suitable speaker’s platform.
Nine arched openings in the exterior walls of the banquet hall lead to park areas. The six reinforced concrete arches which support the roof axe the construction feature of this hall. This design was chosen rather than steel trusses in order that the hall might have as much height as possible. The ceiling is brown and the walls are ivory in color.
Electric fixtures set off the Interior of the building.
