New Building for the M. I. T.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has begun work on a new five story, fire-proof building which it is hoped will be finished by the first of August. The building is to be 58 ft. by 161 ft. and will be situated on Trinity place, opposite the east end of the Art Museum. The departments of Architecture, Biology, Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering are to have new rooms in the building, so that the additional 48,000 square feet of room will indirectly help the other departments which are now overcrowded.
