Scope and content
Construction continues on the new Student Union Building at the College of Puget Sound in late January, 1959. Ground was broken for the new building in July of 1958 and the goal for completion was August of 1959. Designed by architect Silas E. Nelsen, the two-story unit would have a 700-seat dining room, a bookstore, student lounge and recreation center, meeting rooms and student body offices. A federal government loan for $672,000 was approved and the student body pledged $90,000 with the college supplying the remaining funds; total contracts were $1 million.
