These wings are composed of arepetition of units, each unit containing a window. A fixednumber of units, in most cases three, gives the most econom-ical space for laboratory and section teaching purposes. Asingle unit with one window would give a room of convenientsize for the Professors or Instructors personal use. All roomsare accessible from the middle corridor which extends thelength of the wings. The walls of this corridor are hollowto provide for the heating and ventilating flues for the differ-ent rooms. The outside walls are built with piers four feeteach and the windows between are six feet wide and extendto the ceiling to provide proper lighting, the whole making.

As teachingmethods and other requirements change, rooms of a size otherthan those originally provided can be readily obtained by re-moving the intervening partitions which are of terra cotta,and making new rooms containing as many window units asmay be required. This method of construction also providesfor future growth. The wings can be lengthened by addi-tional units of piers and windows, and when extended to a dis-tance of two hundred and sixteen feet may be connected to-gether in the rear, e
