In February of 1974 the College finished construction of the new million dollar Fletcher Field House. The new field house caused a large uproar on campus because many felt that the architecture was unpleasant and that the funds should have gone to the library instead. The field house was torn down 30 years later because the roof was deemed unsafe.
