An eight-story factory building, built at a short distance from the rest of the group, will give the students a chance to observe manufacturing methods. This is probably the most unique building connected with this group, as nothing of the kind has ever been built before. It is distinctly a part with the other experiments in education being made at the Harvard Business School.

The central quadrangle consists of the Auditorium and dining halls and the recreation building. The Auditorium, with its dome, is reminiscent of the central building of the University of Virginia, designed and built by Thomas Jefferson.

Dining Halls Provide Varied Service

On the ground level of this building and directly connected with the dormitories by covered passage, are the dining halls. They consist of a large room for the students, with a counter for cafeteria or self-service, although it is also arranged for waiters to serve the tables. The kitchen is on this same floor with its ice boxes, bake-shop, and stores.

On the first floor is the Auditorium approached by a wide flight of steps. The Auditorium, which is built like an amphitheater, seats approximately one thousand men. The stage has on either side of it small rooms for the professors. The interior of this Auditorium with its domed coiling, will be impressive from its size and proportions, rather than from its richness of detail.

The Recreation Building at the other end of the quadrangle from the Auditorium, is the social center of the Business School. On the first floor will be a large lobby, grill room and lounge. On the second floor, a large space has been provided which will be cut up into meeting rooms and club rooms. In this building twenty squash courts are also provided with the necessary lockers, and showers in the basement. As exercise plays such an important part in the life of a man taking intensive training, much emphasis has been put on his physical fitness.

The Dormitory group at present consists of four buildings, housing approximately eight hundred men. The Dormitory quadrangle, which is the largest, gives an opportunity for another dormitory across the center which like the administrative group, will then be divided in two. Additional dormitories around future quadrangles have been contemplated adjoining the present group.

Rooms to Fit Every Purse

Rooms must be provided in the dormitories of the School within the means of all the students, similar to the freshman dormitories. For this purpose, some rooms are designed to serve a single student as study and bedroom, some suites have a study and double bedroom and others, a study and single bedroom. Some of the rooms on the top floors with dormer windows, will be rented at a lower price than the others. Private baths have been omitted, and general showers and toilets being less expensive, have been centrally located to be used by all the students. Rooms in each dormitory have been provided for the proctors, thus increasing the personal contact and good fellowship between the staff and the students. Common rooms are provided in each dormitory where easy chairs and tables covered with the popular business magazines may be found
