Mobile Classrooms Seen As Help To Room Squeeze
Rep. Bill Fribley unveils a plan for state owned mobile classrooms and laboratories to relieve college space needs. He projects 391 new classrooms and 404 labs over the next decade at 48 million in brick and mortar costs, with mobile units estimated at 22 million, saving about 36 million. Each unit would be 50 by 20 feet, air conditioned, with 70 square feet of chalk space, housing 50 students up to 65. Costs include delivery and installation, and moving would use either a contractor or a trailer. The idea stems from budget reviews and concerns over federal funding and Viet Nam era enrollment shifts.
