Time Piece 1975

In 1975 the biggest room on campus was the Armory. At the time, this former armed services drill hall was being used as an indoor tennis court but from Dec. 8 to 19, 40 tarpaulins capable of covering more than 20,000 square feet were laid down to protect a special asphalt-type finish and 726 tables and chairs were brought in to create UBC's biggest exam room. It took 12 physical plant workmen two days to make the
conversion.
