Formation of the corporation and meeting of other FHA requirements have accounted for the two months which have elapsed since receipt of the government approved loan was revealed, according to Dr. Jay F. W Pearson, U-M vice-president. Members of the University Board of Trustees appointed as directors of the corporation are George C. Estill, Daniel H. Redfearn, Vincent D. Wyman, Arthur A. Ungar, Julian S. Eaton, and
An FHA representative will also be named as a director. Officers are Estill, president; Redfearn. vice-president; Schubert, secretary, and Wyman, treasurer.
The FHA loan, one of the largest ever granted, will be used for construction of 29 two and three story apartment buildings and a community center housing a 500-seat cafeteria, slop shop, and dance patio. Described by President Bowman F. Ashe as a definite departure from customary college dormitory arrangements, the apartments will be three to seven room units, each completely furnished and including a kitchen and living room.
Prefabricated Installations Préfabrication of interior installations such as closets, wardrobes, and wall units, and lining up all plumbing connections on one side of the building will enable contractors to çut construction time considerably. Designed on semi-tropical lines, the structures will be almost entirely windows along one side and are planned to provide each apartment with maximum cross ventilation.
Although ground is now being cleared on the Main Campus for the construction of a large cafeteria from shipped-in, dismantled navy buildings, this will not cancel plans for the permanent cafeteria structure included in the $5,000,000 project.
Facing on what will be a lake when completed, the housing development grounds will be landscaped and contain streets, parking space, and play grounds. The large area allotted to the housing development is located southwest of the new classroom buildings and is on the far side of the proposed lake.
