Electronic equipment and aggregations of students generate heat. The building will attempt to connect these two buildings and make it easier to get from the center of the campus to Varner Hall. Design of mechanical systems, walls, foundations, and backfill areas should consider the site of a future new wing. ITC has expanded its studios and other facilities. There is no reason to think the future will be different.
New enterprises require space.
The most cost-effective way to provide this may be a new wing to the building. Donors for a new wing may be easier to find than for an entirely new building. It is not necessary to have windows in the classrooms. The interior finishes, i.e., floors, walls, ceilings and furniture should be tasteful and very serviceable. We do not expect to see marble in the building, but we do expect to see carpet in the offices, classrooms, and corridors except in the very high traffic areas, i.e. the halls around the classrooms and where traffic moving through the building would be found.
