Hoffman Geology Lab To Open Next Month

The geology department will consolidate its scattered laboratories with the completion next month of the David Hoffman laboratory of experimental geology. The four-story Hoffman laboratory has been constructed as a wing of the University museum.

At present the department houses its administrative offices in the museum and its laboratories in both the ROTC building and the Dunster laboratories. Francis Birch '24, chairman of the department, said that the move into the new facilities will be completed sometime before summer.

According to present plans, the administrative offices will remain in the museum. They will be connected by a second floor passage with the new labs.
