Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 30, No. 3. 1967.

[introduction]

Palmerston North—Work on the multi-million building programme for Massey University, designed to provide a campus for 10,000 students, is progressing well.

Scheduled to be ready for use in the 1968 academic year are the library club building and the first stage of the Veterinary Science block, which is on schedule with the roofing already completed. Working plans are already being prepared for the second stage.

Foundations were laid recently for stage I of the students' centre, comprising the cafeteria, common rooms and the Students' Association offices at Walter Dyes Hall. Construction is under way on the third floor of the four storey hostel which caters for 107 students.

Foundations of a new boiler-house are already down, and the building is due to be completed later this year to service most of the campus, including all new buildings. The first two stages of the services tunnel are intact.

The biggest project yet in the area, the £1,000,000 Science block has been let to the Biddet Construction firm who at present have the Arts-Library building contract. Due to start soon, this project is expected to take at least two years.
