• sCience Portland State's applied science program is accelerating at a rate that will soon push it beyond the tight walls that now house the Division. Dr. Thurman S. Peterson, division head, looks forward from a busy year to the time when PSC's new science building will offer room and research space to the increasing numbers of students and faculty in this field. In January of 1964, the Division will leave Old Main for a new five story science building to be constructed at the corner of 10th and Mill. One of the floors in the 2.34 million dollar structure is the result of a grant from the federal government, and will provide space for an environmental health study center. The new building is the first step in a long term program that will give the Division of Science the finest facilities possible.
