Structure Features Unusual Blower System In New Heating Unit

By James Dean T h e b e a utiful a nd nove l, " Dome" gymnasium, n ow unde r construction at P a lom a r Col1ege, will b e the first such building to be u sed in connection with an educational institut ion . T he most unique and ey e -catching fe ature of the new building will b e its spherical roof, to b e built of Kaiser Aluminum on the geodesic principle of interlocking triangles. The roof will have no pillars or supports of any kind, but whlch will ·~~d each other up~ The enti r e dome structur e w ill loc k in place at the top, something on the order of a teepee. F irst in California and one of the few in the world, the Palomar dome, besides being a gymnasium , w.ill contain four modern classrooms which will be located under the futuristic alum inum canopy that extends half way around tlie dome. Employed in the new build ing will be an interesting and economical "stra tified" heating system, which consists of blower s in the walls, a bout t en- feet above the floor , wh ich will heat the lower par t of t he building. The force of the blowers will counteract the rising of the warm air , t hus t he entire dom e need n ot be heated . The half-sphere roof w ill be erected in the space of f ive days by means of a b<Xlm in the center of the building. The boom will be raised as the roof goes up and removed when the dome is com. pleted. Dr. Dunn , president, stated, " We expect the gymnasium to be finished in May this school year." The " Dome" will be construct ed at a cos t of $284,665; $110,000 less than the cost of a n ordina r y gy mnas ium. The dome its elf w ill be 146 fee t in diameter a nd 56 feet high . T he en t ire building will be 25,42 4 square fe et a t a cost of $11.40 per square foot, as compa red wi th a ty pical cost for this t ype buildin g of $16 per square foot.
