EUOEXE. Or June 13. Specia.L
Eugene is rapidly completing three
of its largest buildings, a high
school costing $110,000. a state armory
costing $75,000. and an administration
building at the university, costing
583, 00.
Of the three, tte latter is the finest
piecs. of building construction. En
tirely, fireproof, the building stands one
of the most modern in tne state. Its
pressed brick walls encase a skeleton of
eteel reinforced concrete, including
basement, two floors and roof. Its par
titions are pf tile. The only wood in
the entire building is the oak-finished
tfurniture. with metal wickets resem
bling a banking room for the univer
sity business offices surrounding a
marble-floored lobby on the top floor.
The entire first floor Is finished in a
marble wainscoting as high as the
head. The walla and ceiling are fin
ished in a hard moulded plaster. It is
probable that no building In the state
hag a more beautiful interior. The
marble is a special dark Alaskan stone
of unusual beauty.
On tiie left of the marble entrance is
a miniature theater for staging college
plays. It, too, is finished in moulded
plaster and marble. On the loft are
several larpe classrooms. The ground
floor is divided entirely Into class
rooms. All the floors are finished
with cork-concrete floor composition,
a new type of flooring.
The president's offices are on the
third floor and include a fireplace ana
his own wardrobe. On the same floor
are offices for the steward and regis
trar, and also two fireproof and bur
Tglarproof vaults for University records.
The six huge columns in front rep
resent an unusually fine piece of terra
cotta work, erected by a special repre
sentative sent directly from the factory.
The new high school building will
serve Eugene for years to come. It is
in the shape of a "U," with, the gymnasium-auditorium
in the center, se
arranged that a similar building can
be erected on the south, when occasion
demands, leaving a solid, rectangle with
the gymnasium in the center. There
is also room for a. small enclosed ath
letic field within the interior court.
The corridors run through the centers
of each of the wings and the main
building, leaving classrooms on either
side. The building has four assembly
halls, and similar-sized rooms for the
manual training, domestic science, com
mercial department, and physical and
chemistry laboratories, in addition to
the customary-sized classrooms. The
basement of the gymnasium contains
the heating plant and shower bath
rooms.
The largest auditorium In the city,
however, will be in the new $75,000
armory. This will seat 3000 persons in
Its huge drillroom. The balcony alone
will seat nearly 1000 persons, and to
support the weight of which seven
6teel trusses, nearly 100 feet long, are
requlredv
The building occupies an entire
quarter block, and contains the cus
tomary quarters, indoor rifle ranges
