Syracuse Expands
University Facilities
•Syracuse University and the Carrier Corp., manufacturers of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, have acquired title t o the turbine and jet propulsion equipment plant built in Syracuse in 1942 by the Navy and operated by the General PJlectric Co. The factory and i t s equip ment originally cost the Government $20 million and covers an area of 139 acres. Syracuse University's section of 80 acres contains two large structures 200 feet wide and about 800 .feet long, four radio buildings, and three others formerly used as laboratories and test buildings. TheTinivorsity has moved some sections of its College of Applied Science to the former G E buildings, and is setting up laboratories for its recently established Institute of Industrial Research. All engineering courses, including chem ical engineering, eventually will be con ducted at the new "science and engineer ing campus." One of the buildings i s to be remodeled with a $500,000 grant from Federal Works Administration. This τνίΐΐ house 50 classrooms, 18 engineering and general science laboratories, 75 shops, 10 offices, and a cafeteria.
