At the moment housing is available for roughly one-fourth of a college population of just under four million. By 1970, that population will have mushroomed to more than six million. And as much as 40 per cent of it will have to be housed on campus. During the current decade, col- 6.0 Million 1960-1970: leges and universities will have to 6 Billion add to their existing residential fa- cilities about one and a half million new units enough to house the HOUSING UNITS EXPENDITURE combined populations of Bos:on and REQUIRED REQUIRED Cleveland. The bill for this added Billions of Dollars housing will run to at least $3 billion 3.6 Million according to the most conservative 2.4 Million estimate of cost and quantity. Pres- 40% of 6.0 Million ent trends in construction costs and institutional policy make $4.5 bil- 19501960: lion a more realistic figure. A $6 bil- 1 Million 1 Billion 28 % of 3.6 Million lion price tag is entirely possible. Students are already descending 1960 1970 on our colleges in such swarms that, as one harried housing director put it, "We seem always to be taking two steps forward and three steps back" in meeting the demand for living space. The temptation is to simply throw up a roof over the students' heads and worry later about what is to go under the roof. Yet shelter alone is a dubious investment for educational institutions to spend $6 billion on. Because more students must learn more,in more depth, than ever before, every resource the college canmuster must be trained onthe primary educa- tional goal. Extensive and expensivehousing facilities can no longer be viewed merely as a series of convenientpigeonholes in which students can be filed for the night. The very size of thebuilding job to be done makes it essen- tial for colleges to get their money'sworth. Happily, most colleges have every intentionof doing just that. And the pace being set by somealready suggests how they may go about it. Housing will certainly play a morevital role in the educational process. Many colleges will explore the possibilities of conducting formal and informal instructional programs in their residencehalls. The rise in the number of students, the proportionate decline in the number of qualified teachers, the shortage of instructional spac.e, and the temper of the times are forcing changes in teaching methods, and focusing attention on housing as an untapped educational resource. New techniques for teaching large groups, for example,demand that large lecture classes be

Patrick Laughlin of the Avon Redevelopment Commission – (317) 272-3906; Avon Town Manager Tom Klein – (317) 272-0948 ext. 101; and Dean of Trine’s School of Professional Studies David W. Wood (260) 665-4600 Trine University to open Regional Education Center in Avon AVON, Ind. – At the Dec. 1 Avon Town Council meeting, the Town entered into an agreement to bring another post-secondary educational opportunity to Avon for area residents. The agreement calls for Trine University to occupy 8,000 square feet in the Beechwood Centre adjacent to Ivy Tech Community College. Trine University, a 4-year degree-based program, will build numerous classrooms and labs that will be utilized to offer more than 10 bachelor degree programs and two master’s degrees through the School of Professional Studies. Areas of study will include Management, Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Emergency Management, Engineering, Leadership, and Psychology. David W. Wood, Dean of the School of Professional Studies at Trine University expressed the school’s excitement when he said, “This is a tremendous opportunity for adults to complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree; our unique partnership with the Town of Avon makes higher education even more attainable for the residents of this community.” This is a 10-year agreement and part of the Avon Redevelopment Commission’s overall master plan to revitalize the once-thriving retail center with opportunities for area residents. Beechwood Centre was built to house Cub Foods, which closed in 2001. Then the center housed various restaurants and retail stores including Gerdt Furniture until 2008.

ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 2012.0081 NUMBER: NOTES: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Evans Woollen III was born in Indianapolis in 1927. He went to private schools, Hotchkiss then Yale, eventually pursuing a career in architecture. Both his father and paternal grandfather's careers were in banking. After earning his B.A. and M.A. degrees in architecture at Yale, Woollen worked for three years in New Canaan, Connecticut: one under the tutelage of Phillip Johnson, a nationally known architect, and two on his own. In 1955, at the age of 27, Woollen returned to Indianapolis, both setting up an office and marrying within a week of his return. His first Indianapolis practice specialized in residential design. By 1968, the firm was incorporated as Woollen Associates, and its range included a variety of building types, from commercial structures to public housing. Later, the firm was renamed Woollen, Molzan and Partners. Woollen has had a great impact on Indianapolis architecture. Some of Woollen's more famous buildings include Clowes Memorial Hall, the Minton-Capehart Federal Building, the silver addition to the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (now Indianapolis Public Library), the entrance hall at the Children's Museum, and the Barton Tower on Massachusetts Avenue.

  • Indiana Architect September, 1965
    INDIANA ARCHITECT SEPTEMBER, 1965 6 I extend greetings to the architects of the Americas: the artists and builders who create and sustain the cities of the New World. We have learned—too often through the hard lessons of neglect and waste—that if man brutalizes the landscape, he wounds his own spirit; if he raises buildings which are trivial or offensive, he admits the poverty of his imagination; if he creates joyless cities, he imprisons himself. And we have leanied that an environment of order and beauty can delight, inspire and liberate men. It is your responsibility as architects to communicate these essential truths. You determine, in large part, the shape of our cities. Those cities, in turn, determine the shape of our lives—so profoundly that future generations will ponder our architec• ture to learn our deepest values. Your work, therefore, has meaning which endures be• yond the life of the most lasting buildings, and you have a great task: to influence men to use their technical and com• mercial power to beautify the earth—not to blemish it. May you pursue that task with energy and vision. May your success be so great that when the judgment of the future is made, ours will be remembered as the Age of Beauty. LYNDON B.

    WHARTON REAL ESTATE REVIEW SPRING 2012 Creating a New Suburban Town Center WITOLD RYBCZYNSKI Tougher economic times, lack of consumer confidence, and rising energy prices are likely to curtail distant ex-urban development in the decades to come, and one of the challenges for real estate developers will be to infill and densify suburban areas. Altering zoning and raising densities in existing residential areas will not be easy, however, not only because of neighborhood opposition to change, but also because most housing in the last three decades has been built as part of planned communities. These communities are governed not by municipal regulations, which can (with difficulty) be changed, but by homeowner associations that have been created in order to make change almost impossible. Housing aside, there is also the problem of how to convert suburban commercial development, which has generally occurred in a piecemeal and uncoordinated fashion, into concentrated, walkable, attractive town centers. Despite the current fashion for lifestyle centers that mimic the Main Street environment of small towns, the suburban centers of the future will not necessarily resemble the downtowns of the past. What follows is an example of how out- of-the-box thinking—and a public-private partnership—produced an innovative solution to a complicated problem. The Deal More than three decades ago, recognizing that the growth of the city of Vancouver was constrained by its location on a peninsula, hemmed in by surrounding water and mountains, Metro Vancouver developed a regional plan—theLivable Region Plan—to direct urban growth into surrounding suburban municipalities. Most urbanization was expected to occur in the southeast, down the broad Fraser Valley.
