A field house for Virginia Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

For all those sports enthusiasts within the Blacksburg area; for all members of the student body interested in intercollegiate, intramural, or individual sports competition; for all members of the administration interested in school prestige; and for all members of the athletic plant staff; a new building to house intercollegiate sports activities is a very vital and realistic problem - vital because of the present inadequacy and inflexibility of the War Memorial Hall, and realistic because of actual plans now in progress to expand the athletic facilities of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. This thesis deals with the design of a building that will meet the needs of adequacy and flexibility.
