June 12 marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of the dedication of the 45,000 square foot, three-story Engineering Building (now Shiley Hall) in 1949. In what was perhaps the ultimate cost-saving measure in all of UP history, the new building’s basement was dug after its completion—by hand—by Brother Godfrey Vassallo, C.S.C., and a team of industrious faculty and students. The University archives and museum have a new post about the Engineering Building dedication on their WordPress blog at http://tinyurl.com/kyhadh4.
