Students attending the summer session may not normally take more than two courses. Three courses will only be permitted with special permission of the dean of student services.

Sketch plans for the first phase of construction of a college campus on the Lynnmour site have been completed and now all that is required is approval from the Department of Education in Victoria to permit a start on working drawings.

‘‘That approval must come very soon if we are to have buildings ready for occupancy by January of next year,’’ says architect Robert Harrison, of Harrison, Plasvic, Kiss, the architectural consortium retained by the college.

Mr. Harrison said the architects have spent a lot of time with college administrators and department heads seeking information on their specific requirements.

‘We have had an excellent relationship with the college staff and I believe that we

have arrived at a plan that everybody likes,’’ he said.

“The plan is extremely flexible and, I hope, catches the philosophy that was originally placed before us. The aim was to create a relationship of learning areas to students in order to come up witha student- oriented campus.’’

The proposed plans include a 23,000- square foot learning resource area which would also include faculty offices and seminar rooms. ‘‘This means that the faculty willbe wherethe students are,’’ he said.

While the structures will be semi- permanent they will be modular steel buildings, with large spans that provide maximum flexibility inside.
