Description	Architectural drawing of Science Building by William C. Holleyman, Jr., Architect in March 2, 1939. The back of photo includes a newspaper article from the Greensboro Daily News, October 12, 1938 that reads "Additional Structure- Work will be begun before November 15 on the new Science building at Woman's college shown in the accompanying architect's sketch. This drawing by William C. Holleyman, Jr. of Greensboro, the architect who designed the building and who will supervise its construction, shows it to be of Georgian architecture, four stories in height and of red brick. It will be located on the old Curry athletic field, opposite Spencer hall. Total expenditure will be approximately $300,000. The new building will house the biology, chemistry, physics, and astronomy departments." This building, designed by W. C. Holleyman of Greensboro, North Carolina, opened in 1940. From 1940 to 1960, the building was called the Science Building. In 1960, it was named in honor of Mary Macy Petty, head of the Chemistry Department from 1893 to 1934.
