Million Improvement Asked For A&T College
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Permanent improvements for A&T College in excess of six million dollars, to be spent during the next biennium, have been received by the North Carolina Advisory Budget Commission.
The requests, totaling $6,404,500, were presented by Dr. L. C. Dowdy, acting president of the College, as the budget group made its recent visit to the campus. The group was headed by David S. Coltrane, chairman.
Included in the requests, also, are six new buildings: biology building, $885,000; dormitory for women, $550,000; mathematics and business building, $700,000; student union building, $1,040,000; dormitory for men, $1,100,000, and health and physical education building, $1,030,000.
Other improvements requested include: heating plant equipment, $120,000; campus lights, walks and roads, $55,000; renovation to Graham Building, $160,000; music and art equipment, $25,000; Technical Institute equipment, $130,000; library equipment, $180,000; farm and dairy additions, $59,500, and purchase of Lutheran College property, $370,000.
President Dowdy told the group, "The capital improvement requests have been approached by carefully surveying the needs of the educational program and by conservatively projecting the enrollment of the institution."
He pointed out to the budget group that most of the items had previously been recommended by the North Carolina Advisory Budget Commission and the 1959 North Carolina State Legislature.
