According to David Rinker. systems vice president lor facilities planning, work on the John I:. Swearingen Engineering Center will begin in October. Scheduled completion of the project is spring 1987. The new building will be located on Main Street between Whaley's Mill apartments and H California Dreaming restaurant and bar. Bidding for construction of the engineering center has not begun, but the planning office should have bids by mid-October, Rinkcr said. The three-story building will contain 200,000 square feet of LIUDM IHJIIIS, IcUHJI <IH.II ID, Wl I Ill'Tt and computer facilities. "It's going to be a handsome building. I'm excited about it," Rinker said. "It will be a huge plus for the engineering school and the whole campus." ' Rinker said the current engineering building is inadequate and does not meet the nr?vk of IJSC students or staff. "Many outside grants were demanding increased space . . . right now it is very crowded," lie said. Rinker said t lie Surnwalt Engineering Building is "outgrown in technology" and not capable of educating enough students. The present building was designed to accommodate about 800 students.
