The Fogg Museum of Fine Arts will be ready for occupancy about June. The structural part is now practically completed, and the building is almost ready for the interior finish.
The front part of the museum has two stories. On the first floor the cast museum extends from east to west nearly across the building. At its western end are three small rooms for collections; at its eastern end a lecture room.
At the rear of the cast museum, the stairway leads to the second floor. Upstairs there is a large central room for drawings, a small room for the same purpose east of it, and a library at the opposite end.
The semi-circular part of the building has a single story reaching above the rest of the building. It will be used for a lecture room and will seat more than five hundred people. The structure will be absolutely fireproof. The partition walls are of brick and of hollow terra cotta tiles, while the columns, girders, and trusses are of iron, the columns surrounded by terra cotta tiles.
The building is classic in detail, if not purely so in its design. It is by far the most costly building for its size ever built by the University.
