Description
Summary:This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 258: The Sky Crane-54, the world's largest helicopter of its day, was flown by National Guardsmen from Birmingham in August 1974 to be used to replace a burned-out 3,000-pound air conditioner on top of ten-story Haley Center. ... Haley Center, with 142 classrooms on the first three floors and faculty offices on the next six, became the largest building at the University upon its completion in 1969. For years, it housed most units of the College of Education and virtually all faculty and staff members of the College of Liberal Arts. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
