[ 5 ] The Building for Architecture and Kindred Subjects at the University of lUinois

L. H. Provine

Head of the Department of Arcfiitecture

The first architectural classes at Illinois were held in the old building at the North end of Illinois Field: when University Hall was opened in 1873 the department was assigned to the Northeast tower room in the third story: in

1894 it was moved to the top floor or attic of the newly completed Engineer- ing Hall, and in 1927 it is to be moved to a new building devoted to Architec- ture and Kindred Subjects: this is the history of the housing of the Department of Architecture at the University of Illinois.

The new building to house Architecture and Kindred Subjects will face

South, the front of the building being on a line with the South end of the new

Commerce Building and will be fifty feet west of that building. The two buildings will be connected by means of a monumental brick wall and wrought iron gateways. The building is a T in shape, having a long axis, east and west. 260 feet in length with the stem extending to the north 70 feet. The style of architecture will be the Georgian, that which has been used in all of the new buildings on the South Campus: the elevation will be of brick with stone belt courses, trim and cornice. The roof will be of slate with zinc used for flashing, gutters and other sheet metal work, and the cornice line will be at the same elevation as the cornices on the other new buildings. 50 feet from grade. In plan the main building will be 260 feet long, and 50 feet wide, with an extension to the North 50 feet by 70 feet.

The west end of the basement is the lower part of a two story hall of casts. The floor of this room is the basement floor and the ceiling will be the underside of the second floor. The east end of the basement will house the

Architectural Club activities. There will be a museum room 17 feet by 50 feet. a fireproof vault, storage rooms and the necessary rooms for the mechanical and ventilating machinery. In the north part there will be a modeling room

40 feet by 50 feet and a room in which to file blue prints and drawings of im- portant buildings which have been built in this country by the leading Architects.

The main entrance is at the center of the south facade. The doors will be of metal, the floor of the entrance lobbv and vestibule will be of marble. Turning to the left in the main corridor one sees the entrance to the Hall of Casts. A monumental marble stairway will lead down to the floor of this two story room. As time and funds permit, full size plaster reproductions of famous doorways, cornices and fragments of architectural ornament will be housed in this room. On cither side of the main corridor are offices and at the east end of the corridor is the exhibition room. 50 feet wide by 75 feet long.

Opening off of this room is an alcove in which will be housed the Dr. Ricker material and a niche has been provided in the room to house the bronze bust of Dr. Ricker. The exhibition room will be used for the displays of student work, for hanging loan art collections and for permanently housing works of art donated to or purchased by the University.

At the end of the corridor leading to the north of the main entrance will be located a large lecture room seating 125 people.

The second floor plan is unique as it is devoted to a library-drafting room arrangement, the only one of its kind in this country. The Ricker Library will be housed in the north wing, large drafting rooms occupy the east and west ends of the main building. Books may be used anywhere in this second story without having to be charged in the usual wav. but if books are taken from the second floor they must be charged out at the librarian's desk, located at the entrance to the stairway. An alcove convenient to the Ricker Library has been provided for reserve books and for reference work.

The third floor has a large drafting room at each end of the main build- ing, with two class rooms and offices in between the drafting rooms.

The entire attic space is to be used. By means of a continuous dormer, there will be a wall of glass 200 feet long, which will give North light to the two large studios. The south part of the attic will consist of loges or small rooms where the sketch problems and nine hour drawings can be made.

The first story corridors and large rooms will have ornamental ceilings, cornices and pilasters. The Ricker Library will have an interesting architec- tural treatment but the rest of the interior of the building will be very plain. The drafting rooms will have no plaster on the walls, the brick will be painted and there will be horizontal wood strips two feet apart for the hanging of blue prints and other documents for use by the classes.

The building has been designed by Charles A. Piatt of New York with James M. White. Supervising Architect, associated. The corner-stone was laid

November 16 and the building contract calls for completion July 1. 1927.

With this building. Illinois will have one of the best equipped and best arranged buildings for Architecture and Kindred Subjects in the country.

Quality—not cheapness

Every architect knows that high quality must not be bound down

by price. To do so means sacrificing that something which con-

stitutes the difference between the best and just plain mediocrity.

This is true with all merchandise. This store realizes this fact

and never attempts to pair off cheap goods as of first quality. Our

things are first class and priced accordingly.

What Should A Good College Store Be?

It should be progressive, intelligent, give good service, stand be-

hind the articles sold, and have those articles when the customer wants them. That's our policy.

[ 56 THE ARCHITECT— | I

Moulder Destinies \ j of

Directly and indirectly the architect has been responsible for much of the world's progress.

His insistent search for mediums that would materialize his plans in greater beauty has resulted in improvement throughout the structural and material trade.

His emphasis of the need of better sanitation and venti- lation has resulted in epoch making improvements. In- spired and encouraged by architects to perfect the unit system of ventilation, we perfected the Univcnt. It brings fresh air directly from outdoors to every room. warms it, cleans it if necessary and diffuses it with an agreeable air motion, yet without draft. In operation it is simpler than opening the windows—and more obvious in results.

Its positive benefits have become nationally recognized in schools, offices, lodges and similar buildings. UNI\/ENT
