University Printers To Get New Offices

The University Printing Office will get a new home at North Harvard St. and Western Ave, when it leaves its present site at Kirkland St. and Divinity Ave. to make way for the Behavioral Sciences building.

Architects Collaborative of 63 Brattle St. is designing the new structure, and the preliminary plans have been sent to the University for approval. As now conceived the proposed one-story building will have about the same floor space as the present office.

The proposed cost of the building is uncertain, as is the date for construction. The new Behavioral Sciences Building will go up in the spring of 1962, according to present plans, but James W. McFarlane, director of the University Printing Office, said he did not know when the office had to leave its present site.

The new building, at Harvard St. and Western Ave., will be just beyond the Buildings and Grounds Office.
