Barnard Plans Gradual Housing Overhaul From 1966
Barnard College outlines a phased housing plan to evolve through 1970. Seniors will be allowed off campus gradually starting fall 1966, with freshmen to dorms, and full off campus eligibility for seniors by 1970, while dormitory expansion accompanies the student center project. The plan keeps New York area representation constant and adds new dorms atop the center with classrooms and labs.
