At its meeting on 13 Oct. 1962 the Development Committee received the report of the Assessors on the Open Competition for Halls of Residence on the Carnatic Site, and appointed a Building Sub-Committee for the Carnatic Hall Project.

The Sub-Committee recommended in July 1965 that the name "Carnatic" be used to identify the site as a whole. In March 1966 it was agreed that the two halls which formed this Phase I development of the Carnatic site be named as Salisbury Hall (for women) and McNair Hall (for men). In August to October 1966 Salisbury Hall (for women) and McNair Hall (for men) were completed and opened together with Carnatic House which contains the social and dining facilities.

Both volumes include a number of reports, etc.
