One sheet contains tv/o plansat 1/16 inch scale and the other^tv;o elevations, namely: the front aii6. side, which also dravm at 1/15 inch scale. This thesis treats of a modern gym.asii.rii to f Ifiil the conditions existing at the university of Illinois, This particvlar subject Vc L chosen because the University needs a building for this purpose and there has been much conjecture as to what type of structure ^"o Id fulfill the needs of the institution, Awomen's gymnasium differs fr.m a men's gymnasium in this one respect, namely: that it sh^o Id contain private' dressing rooms in connection v;ith the baths. The main gymnasium floor ir- entered through a large trophy * room. Opening off of this to the right i& the l«-;ctiire room and the janitor's room, while to the left i.s the instructors' room, with which If connected the assistants' room, end an examination In each of the four corners of the main gywiasium floor a stairway v.'hich leads up to the balcony and down to the This balcony may be used a a r nning track ir so de- ranged are four hand-ball courts and a teasket ba.ll court. The necessary rooms for storage of g^tnnasiuiii apparatus are provided in the rear, where tliere is also a fencing rrom. In the basement, directly nder the trophy, lectvre and instructors' rooms is the bowling alley, v;hich is of regulation size end con-

Under the hand-ball courts are varsity, faculty, end two teem rvoms, while the mc.in locker room and sho^-er r.nc'" tub beths heve b^-.en provided for under the hand-bali courts. In the are three rooms for v.'hich no special use has been designated. In addition to the baths it was decided to have two swinming pools, cne to contain warm and the other cold "-eter. I^ach shower and tub bath has a private dressing room connection and in order to gain light and cleanliness in and dressing rooms the interior finish of the basement is intended to be white enamel brick and thf; floor of v/hite tile. extreme length of the b -ilding is tvro h nd red forty feet, the extrenif, depth, one hmdred eighty two feet aj.nd Six inches. The exterior is faced with stone through the, baseme.nt story and with pressed brick above. Afair estimate of the cost would be one himdred thor.sand dollars
