Construction of IJSC's $15
? million engineering building will
^ begin this fall, an official with the
USC Facilities Planning Department
said Monday.
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. Current enrollment
is 1,310 undergraduate and 300
