EMU
addition
January
completion
planned
Christmas will come a little late for the University this year. The
new EMU addition is scheduled for completion early in winter term,
according to Dick Reynolds, EMU director.
The new extension will provide an additional 61,000 square feet of
space, boosting the total area of the EMU to almost 200,000 square
feet. Although that may sound like a huge area, Reynolds says it is just
about the right size for a student body of 15,000-plus. Ironically, if the
university population grows any more, the facilities will again be
inadequate. “If that happens,” says Reynolds, “wel’ll start building
satellites around the campus. We won’t add anymore to this building
because if it gets too big it will outgrow its efficiency and become
dysfunctional.”
The addition will house both new and relocated facilities. One of
the most popular new features will undoubtedly be the Craft Center,
which will serve as a source of informal instruction for students in
terested in photography, ceramics, jewelry making, leather tooling,
weaving, and woodworking.

Reynolds says this will be one of the most complete university
craft centers in the country. “The school has been nurturing the idea
of a craft studio for about ten years,” he says, “But until now we
haven’t had a place to put it.”
The set-up at the Craft Center will be similar to that of the Outdoor
Resource Center. Students who are interested in learning about a craft
can come and either work on their own or get some instruction and
assistance from one of the students who already knows something
about the craft. Participants can bring their own materials or buy
them at the Craft Center, which will be located on the first floor of the
new addition.
The second floor of the new addition is connected to the old EMU
by means of a concourse-lounge area. The main desk and ticket
counters, which are now in the old section of the building, will be
relocated on this floor, along with a meeting room which is larger than
the present Dad’s Room, though not as big as the EMU ballroom.
The top story of the unfinished extension will house the food ser
vice, six meeting rooms, and student dining space that will ac
comodate 300 people. A series of dining terraces connected by ramps
will flow from the third floor to the second. Students may eat on any of
these terraces, or in the third floor dining area.
Reynolds does not want the menu in the new addition to duplicate
the food served in either the fishbowl or the cafeteria. So the new
dining area will specialize in only three things: soup, salad, or sand
wiches large enough to constitute a oqe-entree meal. Although the food
will be prepared in the kitchen of the old section, it will be “assem
bled” in the new dining area.
The most distinguishing characteristic of the new EMU is the
central hollow core which extends from the first floor to a skylight in
the roof of the third floor. The terraced dining areas are built around
this core, where you can look down through the center of the building
to the first floor lounge. This will probably be the most popular place in
the new addition.
Although the 13th Street side of the new extension will be brick to
blend with the old part of the building, the rest of the addition is
primarily concrete. But the solid impact of the cement will be broken
up by the series of skylights which accent the building, and by the
trees and shrubs which will be planted on the southeast side.
Looking at the half-done building now, it is hard to envision how it
will look by next January. It is even harder to believe that the long
awaited extra space will finally be a reality. No more scrouging for a
stray chair in the cafeteria. No more fighting for a seat on a couch in
the lounge on a rainy day.
Of course, the new addition will probably bring new problems.
When you tell your friend you’ll meet him at the EMU you may have to
spend half an hour looking for him...
