SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1961 New McMaster divinity college. constructed. The actual site for Laurentian University's new campus has not yet been chosen; the university is to be built in the next few years. NIVERSITY construction plans range all the way from these new small universities in northern Ontario to the $100,000,000 pro- gram of the University of Toronto. By 1968, when the University of Toronto's redevelop- ment plan will be completed, that organization will have doubled in a decade the facilities it took a century to gather. At present the Univer- sity of Toronto takes about half the Ontario university population of 25,000 students. By 1965 some 46,000 Ontario students will be attending universities, and Toronto's Varsity will accept about half that number. There are no plans to accept more than 23,000 students at this school. But by 1975 it is estimated that some 92,000 students will be attending univer- sities in Ontario. This fall a number of new buildings at the University of Toronto are being used for the first time, including the almost $6,000,000 faculty of arts and science, the $7,000,000 en- gineering and applied science building, the new law faculty, and by year end it is hoped to have in use the new $3,000,000 faculty of music building with its two large concert halls. A number of new buildings have been com- pleted in the past few years, including the dental school where:the main clinic has 124 operating units, one for each member of the tlass. New men's and women's residences have also been built here and more are being planned. One of the biggest projects at Toronto is the $1,500,000 Massey College, a graduate school and residence for men. It is to be ready for the start of the scholastic year in the fall of 1962. The University of Toronto now at- tracts students for post-graduate work from all parts of the world, including growing numbers from the new independent nations. of Africa and Asia. -_ University at Hamilton is finish- ing up a $12,500,000 expansion program which includes a nuclear reactor built in 1959 at a cost of almost $2,000,000. This year men's and women's residences were built at a cost of over $2,300,000, an arts and administration building at $2,100,000, and a divinity college at almost $1,000,000. Over the next three years McMaster University will spend another $6,- 000,000 on general science buildings, library, physical education facilities and remodelling existing buildings. ONTARIO TODAY Engineering building at U. Of Waterloo. Assumption University at Windsor has three new buildings in use for the first time this scholastic year. A university centre has been built to accommodate extra-curricular and recreational services for students and staff at a cost of over $1,200,000..The building will be able to accommodate up to 3,000 students, the enrollment anticipated by 1970. Essex College Engineering Building is now-in use, an E-shaped structure built at a cost of $3,000,000. A men's residence for some 200 students is being opened in December. Assumption University a few years ago built a. library, judged one of the most beautiful on the continent, at a cost of $1,250,000, and a women's residence. In the past five years Queen's University at Kingston has spent nearly $8,000,000 on new buildings and residences. Currently four new medical, chemistry, mechanical engineering, mining and metallurgy buildings are nearing completion at a cost of $2,500,000. A new physics building is in the planning stage. It will be the largest structure on the Queen's campus, and will cost over $2,500,000. University of Waterloo and St. Jerome's College in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, have embarked on a construction program including arts and library buildings. Some $2,000,000 is being spent in this area on present construction. To keep up with the increased needs for higher education the University of Ottawa, a bilingual establishment in Canada's capital city, is in the midst of a 20-year building program to cost some $31,500,000. The first phase to meet an expected enrollmen of 5,000 students by 1965 is now underway. This includes $10,- 350,000 in a new medical building, residence for 400 students, physics and 'mathematics building, new engineering and law faculty structures, $400,000 sports centre, new wing to its arts faculty, and expaision and renovations at a number of existing buildings. All the new buildings are to be faced with Indiana limestone, and when the expansion program is completed the university will cover about 54 acres in the central part of Ottawa. HE final stage of the University of Ottawa's program includes construction of a univer- sity hospital, nursing building, home economics faculty, convocation hall, fine arts building, stadium, student centre and a number of resi- dences. At Ottawa, Carleton University is also building a new scholastic plant on a 130-acre site. This year construction includes two student residences, science and engineering building, five-storey extension to the arts faculty, and PAGE THREE 4 Law faculty at Queen's Model of Massey College, U. of T. $1,000,000 library addition. Some 30 buildings are on the master plan. A third university at Ottawa is St. Pat- rick's, where new construction planned or underway includes a faculty of arts building, library, administration offices and men's resi- dence. University of Western Ontario at London in the past few years has added $1,750,000 engineering building, $1,500,000 arts college, school of nursing, plans a new men's residence, library addition, has built new science and busi- ness administration faculties. The Ontario government is building new trade and technology schools at Ottawa to cost some $5,000,000, a $1,000,000 teacher's college at Windsor, a $2,000,000 technological institute at Sault Ste. Marie, and another at Kirkland Lake and is planning to spend. some $6,000,000 more on Ryerson Institute of Technology at Toronto.
