Brandeis University has begun construction of a three-unit, $1,000,000 center for the social sciences to be ready for the 1960-61 school year.

The new facilities will include the four-story Morris Brown Social Science Building housing psychology laboratories and teaching areas, as well as sociology, anthropology, and economics faculty offices. A child psychology laboratory and related programs will be housed in the second of the three buildings, Lemberg Hall, a two-story structure. The third building, the Schwartz Teaching Center, will have a lecture hall seating 300 persons and adjoining classrooms.

Completion of the center will bring to more than 40 the major facilities of the liberal arts college founded in 1948 as a non-sectarian, Jewish-sponsored institute of higher learning.
