Abstract

Description

Aerial photo of the University of Toledo Campus with the Ottawa River in the middle, 1980. More construction continued on campus during the 1970's. Included in this time are Centennial Hall (1976), later renamed "Savage Hall", Center for Performing Arts (1976), Driscoll Center for Continuing Education (1978). In 1976, two parking garages were constructed to alleviate the parking problems on campus, one of which eliminated the married student housing plot. Lot 10 along the river is also created during this time period. The East-West road through campus was removed to accommodate expansion as well. Possibly the most pleasant change occurred when the Army barracks were removed South of University Hall. And in 1979, after the blizzard of '78, Geography students laid out Centennial Mall based on foot traffic through the snow. [Details by M. Edwards]
