Board Set For Major Expansion
Texas Tech directors debated a two year 22 million biology building as part of a campus expansion that would lift total building activity to about 42 million by 1968. A six story biology facility design drew criticism as an architectural departure but president elect Grover Murray urged balance of economy and function. Directors postponed a final decision to next month and noted the project would be among ten new or enlarged buildings by mid 1968.
