Health School To Get Grant

One of Harvard's smallest graduate schools got a king-sized grant from the federal government yesterday to help it expand its quarters.

The U.S. Public Health Service announced that it had awarded $2,470.000 to the School of Public Health to help it complete two new buildings on Boston's Huntington Ave. When the buildings are finished in early 1967, the school's present headquarters at Shattuck St. will be razed to make way for a new teaching center.

The completed Huntington Ave buildings will house of the school's 11 departments. The departments of epidemology and bio-statistics will move into new space made possible by the federal grant. Laboratory space for research in infectious diseases and population problems will also be increased.

The School will also install a new computer center for research and administrative purposes.
