7 Yee 10th to 25th 1982 THE BIG MOVE Feeling lost? Don’t sweat, you are not alone. Many students, staff and faculty are groping around the new $40 million campus looking or the washrooms or their inext class. Yes folks! The rumors are true, there is a new campus, nd Douglas College is slow- ly moving into it, despite the confusion of-eonstruction and movers. Already there are classes in physical sciences being held on the new site, and by the end of the week, the majority of McBride Campus classes will be transferred to the permanent campus. However, getting around the new campus will be difficult at first, as several construction zones are stricly out of bounds for students and faculty. Site superin- tendent West Graydon warns that if students continue to disregard the construction jsite warnings, work may discontinue at the site. Still, the majority of the new campus is_ finished, although some areas are not ready yet, like the music facilities and physical educa- tion area. Users Giiide ROYAL As the new campus sur- roundings can be rather inti- midating, the Other Press put together the following list to help the student make it through the first couple of days. PARKING Yes, there is lots of park- ing but the college is going to ding you for it. Gone are the days when tuition and books were the only expenses in- curred by students. Now, students face a $.25 per hour fee to a maximum of $.75 per day and $.50 flat rate for the evening. This won’t take effect until the end of No- vember. Those of you unable or unwilling to pay the under- ground parking charge can use the free one and two hour street parking areas near the College and some uncontrolled parking within walking distance. How long this will last, one can only hope. For those who can afford the parking rates, the en- trance to the underground parking is on Victoria Street, off of 8th or Lorne Streets. Exact change is not needed as there will be a parking ‘attendant. Monthly and semester parking passes will be avail- AVENUE Other Press To The New Campus able for the Spring Semester. room numbering system Despite some talk to the contrary, there is some me- thod to the room numbering system, which tells you the floor of the class, the build- ing the class is in and which side of the building the room is on. A room number contains four digits, the first digit represents the floor, while the next three digist repre- sent the building and ap- proximately where in’ the building you can find the room. If the last three digits are between 001 and 499, the class or office is in the building adjacent to Royal Avenue (North). If the last three digist are between 500 and 999, the class or office is located in the building adja- cent to Victoria Street (South). Now the hard part, the rooms closest to 7th Street have the lower three digits starting at 001 in the North Building and 500 in the South Building. They then proceed to get higher as the rooms get closer to 8th _ Street. Room 2100 will then mean that is is on the second floor of the North Building near 7th Avenue, which ts exactly where the Library is located. One final thing, the first floor runs entirely under the concourse between the two buildings. BUS TRANSPORTATION The McBride Site was not exactly the best place to get to by bus. The Royal Site is, as eight bus routes pass by the new college and several more go to the 8th and Columbia depot. Students who cannot afford the park- ing rates might find this information quite handy. ELEVATORS AND STAIRS (Snakes and Ladders) Alright, everyone who has a heart condition put up your hands. So sorry! This cam- pus wasn’t built for you. Actually, there are elevators, but they have been specifi- cally designed for the use of the handicapped. The ad- ministration at the College would rather you take the stairs. The elevators will be a lot like taking a slow boat to China. FOOD SERVICE Nobody has tried it yet, but the cafeteria with the hot food service is located just S$. 7 RE E Tf Ey eetovee ee ENTRANCES STREET pete ae guyhee si 3.

It’s a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, the ‘food will not e as bad as cafeteria food at other educational institutions where the con- tractor, ICL, operates. It’s not ready yet, though. A bag lunch cafeteria is located on the first floor of the North Building, near the Student Society Office. douglas college 2 CLE ORLA CE RIN Ie ae Be - TSU EDAD SO 7a a be A aha at ate
