A model room will act as a proving ground for furniture, paints, and color combinations in the new graduate dormitories next month.
Builders will finish the room next week, then the architects and experimenters take over. The wood-and-plaster guinea pig is located on the second floor of Building A, at the northern end of the Jarvis Field Graduate Center.
The now room will be complete in every respect, including lighting, heating, and closets. Previous sample rooms constructed in the Biology Laboratories before the new buildings were begun, were incomplete in minor points.
The architects do not expect major changes from the experiments in the sample room, but it may help builders select the furniture set that will receive the greatest use. Final paint colors will probably be determined after studies in the room.
Already determined are such things as heating and lighting fixtures.
