Work Begins On Dining Hall
The latest sound on campus is
that of structural steel beams
being hammered in the ground.
The beams which will soon be
tested for support of 180 tons
will eventually support a new
campus dining hall facility. The
facility is being built in the area
in front of Curtis Hall.
According to Jerald M.
Marteena,       dean o f
Administration, the $1.7 million
structure will be of a three leaf
clover shape with two stories.
The ground floor will house- the
"Commons" area. This
"Commons" area will keep
students from having to wait
outside the dining hall. A
director's office, food storage
rooms and toilet facilities will
also be on this floor.
The second floor will house a
450 capacity dining room in each
of two of the clover leaves. Four
serving lines with the latest in
modern equipment will be
capable of serving 800 persons
per hour.
The kitchen, situated in the
third leaf on the second floor,
will also be well equipped and
will include an employee's dining
hall. Marteena estimated the cost
of kitchen and serving equipment
at close to $233,000.
Special conveniences for
students, will be an escalator that
will assure quick movement of
students from the "Commons"
to the dining area. Also, a special
conveyor belt will carry dirty
dishes to the kitchen and return
them completely clean in
approximately five minutes. A
mezzanine-balcony    room    for
small groups is also planned.
Marteena mentioned that he
saw no reason why the facility
could not serve the entire
student body. He stated that a
proposal had been drawn for the
renovation of Murphy Hall into a
facility which would house all
factions of student affairs.
Construction of the 47,412
square foot dining hall began
March 30. Tentative date for
completion   is   420   days  from
initial work; therefore, the
facility should be ready for use
by the 1973 summer.
The structure was designed by
W. Edward Jenkins, a
Greensboro architect and A&T
graduate. Construction is being
handled by Mid-South
Construction Co. of Greensboro.
