Coâ€"ordinated campis planning began to matcriatize. The faculâ€" 8y of science was formed and pesearch studies and postâ€"praduâ€" The second permanent buildâ€" &ng, physics and mathematics, was completed and work was started on the 133,000â€"squareâ€"foot risen to 38, with no research grants. Expermlitures were $4,000, with an operating budgct of $481,000 amt capital expenditures up to $2.848,000. For this period, the underâ€" graduate enrolment had loaped bo 452, with stiMl no graduate enrolment. Fukâ€"time faculty had This building was important in the history of architecture and construction in Canada through Sts use of precast concrete parts, feft exposed and painted. It was quickly erected (within seven months) at modest cost. ' This precast method has since been used in most of the uniâ€" versity‘s buildings. as well as in many other public buildings in this country. The university‘s coâ€"operative enz neering program was met with a quick and enthusiastic reâ€" sponse.

Hagey announced a controlled growth plan to govern future developâ€" ment. 1966â€"1967 Pressure from an expamting s dent population (now _ almost 6,000) forced continuing developâ€" ment of the campus and of acaâ€" demic programs.
