The building which has been designed by the firm of Adden and Parker will be four stories high of red brick and will be architecturally in harmony with the colonial style now so prevalent throughout the University. Originally to be only three stories high, it was found that more room was necessary and the fourth floor which has been added to the plans will be given over entirely to dormitory rooms for students in the school.
