SITE OF U-M WOMEN'S ATHLETIC BUILDING: The area outlined by the dashes bounded on three sides by S. Forest Ave., Geddes Ave. and N. University Ave., is the site of the University's projected $2,500,000 women's athletic plant which will be constructed "in the near future." A unit containing the long-awaited coed swimming pool will be built first, with the gymnasium unit following when funds become available. The project is being financed by profits from the University's intercollegiate athletic program. The aerial photograph looks west toward the campus with Forest Hill Cemetery and Stockwell Hall in the foreground. Just across S. Forest Ave. from the site, and a little to the north, is the University Museums Building.
