A new general classroom building, that will be
nearly twice as large as Austin, is expected to be
completed for fall quarter. It will be located
between Memorial Gym and the new Music
Building with an estimated cost of 2.9 million.
The new building will house the geography,
history, sociology, political science and German
departments which were previously located in
Austin, Joyner Library, Graham, and the Nursing
Buildings.
Dormitory expansion entails two new high-rise
buildings for both men and women.which will
accommodate approximately 900 students.
Estimated costs will run close to $3 million.
The university's electrical distribution system
is being replaced. The improved underground

increased capacity for the expanding campus.
On the lighter side, a new soda shop is being
built near the Nursing Building. This octagonal
structure will be finished in October and will be a
needed relief for all students.
ECU has requested funds in addition to the
$10 million currently being spent on academic
improvements from the North Carolina State
Legislature. If approved a new building to house
the School of Art will be constructed where Old
Austin once stood.
