Brown Builds

Five new projects have been announced as part of a $46 million development program at Brown University, including the first units of proposed humanities and creative arts centers, a bio-medical complex, a men's dormitory, and several conversions of existing structures.

The bio-medical center, planning for which is the most far advanced of the projects, will accommodate Brown's six-year medical education program and new facilities of its biology department.

The cost of the project, over $3 million, is part of a fund-raising program celebrating Brown's bicentennial. The university hopes to raise $46,900,000 by June 30, 1964. Some $30,044,00 of the goal has already been secured, and the remaining amount may include a Ford Foundation challenge grant of $4,142,000.
