Drawings Okayed
for Tech Building
Final plans for a new $905,200
two-story technical building at
Pasadena City College were re¬
cently requested by the Board of
Education.
After reviewing sketches and
a floor plan of the building, the
board authorized George B. Alli¬
son, of Allison and Rible Archi¬
tects, AIA, to draw up the final
working drawings.
The building is part of a $5 mil¬
lion expansion program presently
under construction at PCC.
Allison estimated the tech build¬
ing will cost less than originally
anticipated, but of the total cost,
$76,475 is for site development
and unexpected rise in prices.
The building will be the first
air-conditioned building in the
Pasadena School District. How¬
ever, the air conditioning is to be
combined with the heating sys¬
tem. It will be connected with
the school’s main steam generat¬
ing plant.
The technical building will be
located on the Sierra Bonita Ave¬
nue side of the campus, between
the C building and the Music
building.
It will be connected to these
buildings by covered walkways,
which will include covered bridges
at the second story, connected to
a balcony surrounding the tech
building.
Overall area of the new build¬
ing, including the bridges and
basement, Allison said, will be
45,455 square feet. Shops will be
located on the first floor.
Plans are also underway for
the first wing of a new five-story
classroom building, as well as a
new student bookstore.
Campus Well Prepared
in Case of Red Alert
Earl W. Holder, business manager of Pasadena City College, ex¬
plained the civil defense program on the Lancer campus to Courier
reporters Monday in their weekly press conference.
The conference can be heard over KPCS (89.3 FM) Thursday
night at 7:45.
Holder noted that in the case of a red alert, a civil defense com¬
mittee of which he is co-chairman is well organized to handle the
emergency. First aid equipment is in readiness. Facilities to quickly
establish a 200-bed emergency center on the campus are also avail¬
able.
Students under 21 would fall under the jurisdiction of the staff
and be taken to assigned locations. Students over 21 would be free
to go or remain as they chose, he said.
Holder also explained that his job entails coordinating the col¬
lege budget, handling the payroll for classified employees, the build¬
ing and grounds, managing the Associated Student Body funds and
the college bookstore.
The bookstore contributes about $30,000 to the student body fund
with most of the other revenue coming from the sale of ASB books.
Money not spent is carried over into the next year’s budget.
The size of the 1962-63 budget is $71,000. Holder is responsible
for signing each requisition along with the finance commissioner,
activity business manager, and adviser.
Holder stated that he is also a member of the Athletic Board. He
noted that income from the football games goes directly into the ath¬
letic fund. However, the ASB subsidizes the athletic budget, as foot¬
ball is the only sport that shows a profit.
