SITE PURCHASED
FOR GYMNASIUM
IN MORCANT0WN
Board OF Control Will Erect
Modern Structure.

Purchase If the valuable proper
ty owned by DIR. |. c. White, at
North High and Prospect streets,
Morgantown. as the site for the
new 100000 gymnasium for west
Virginia University, has been an
nounced by James 5. Lakin, presi-
dent of the state board of control
The board plans to erect for the
university one of the largest anu
finest gymnasiums in the United
States, and to this end will visit
many university gymnasiums In an
effort to secure modern ideas. The
purchase price OF the DR.. Unit
property was $4,000.
West Virginia University vii
have nothing but the best, In the
way of a gymnasium" said Presi
dent Lakin. "The ground We have
purchased, not only includes the
vacant ground owned by Dr. White
on the northeast corner of Hligl
and Prospect streets, but the front
age on Prospect is 200 feet which
includes the three residences ADA
cent TO the corner. Extending back
for a depth of $50 feet, this will
give us room TO erect structure in
which we expect to provide a seat
ing capacity FOR 5000 persons. In
this respect, it will be one of the
largest university gymnasiums In
the country. Detailed plans o.
course have not yet been worked
out but we can say now that moth
ing that is now considered essen,
tial to completely equipped physi-
cal culture plant will be missing.
We intend to make 1t the very best,
The basement will include two very
large swimming pools. one for the
girls and one for the boys and heat
ing apparatus. The upper part OF the
building will contain the gymnaS
ium floor proper which will be per.
haps the largest in the country and
in addition will contain class rooms
for physical culture department, Of
fees for the director OF physical
culture for women and the director
for men, and the director for athlet.
les
one OF the features which illus
rates what we intend to do to
make the building modern and up
/ to-date in every particular will bt
the tunnel which will lead from the
| locker room of the gymnasium Il
the athletic field. thus providing di
rect communication from the gym
TO tho athletic field. There will
also be al indoor running tract
and many other features. While
exact plans have not yet been com.
pleted. 1t IS probable that the seat
ing will be arranged by means OF
steel tiers Of seats which can be
raised when It is desired TO make
full use OF the gymnasium floor.
In accordance with the under
standing at the time the legisla
ture appropriated the money for the
gymnasium last April work will not
be started on the building this year
We have, however. employed the
architect, Mr. Paul A. Davis, oil
Philadelphia, who designed the wo.
mans hall and agricultural build
ings. Mr.. Davis will prepare the
plans as soon as we have compiled
the necessary data and bids will he
asked next January ]. Work on tho
structure will be started March l
l922. and by the time the university
opens In Septe mber. 1922, the plant
VIII be ready for use.'
