Contract made for gym additions
The acting state architect, Carl Osman, said yesterday that a contract had been made with Douglas Construction Co., for two additions to Robinson Gymnasium.
Max Lucas, University director of facilities planning, had recommended earlier this week that the firm be awarded the construction contract.
Of the 12 firs submitting bids, Douglas Construction Co. had the low bid of $84,000.
Before the contract is official, it must be signed by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, the construction firm, the state architect, the engineer, the architects and the director of accounts and budgets.
Osman said that if Dykes signed the contract, the University had approved the agreement.
"If they (the University) approve the contract, I certainly will." Ossman said.
Weekend event to acquaint men with fraternities
"For Men Only" will be an introduction to the University of Kansas fraternity system for senior men from western Kansas and out-of-state high schools this Saturday.
Activities, sponsored by the Interfraternity Council (IFC), will include a visit to a fraternity, a discussion forum with Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, a conference on the interfraternity chancellor for student affairs, will speak, and the KU-Kentucky basketball game.
Baker said he expected that 75 seniors would attend and that manu would stay overtime.
THE COST would be included in the $6.7 million allotted for the project by the Kansas
KEITH LAWTON, director of the office of facilities planning, said there had been recent problems with the roof of Robinson leaking.
Lawton said the purpose of re-roofing Robinson was to plug leaks and to provide better insulation, which would result in greater energy savings.
Lucas said that because Douglas Construction's bld was lower than the expected $5-million bids, his office would request that he be reused for roofing project for the exodus. *Koning Jolien*
He said the roof had been repaired several times since the building was constructed in
Lawton said that he did not know when the state would make a decision on the request but that it would be more efficient to make such a decision as the construction of the vrm additions.
OSSMAN SAID construction of the additions would begin within 10 days. Construction is expected to be completed by spring 1980.
The additions, on the east and west sides of Robinson, will include more classroom and office space, handball and raquette courts, another swimming pool and expansion of locker rooms. The heating and ventilation system also will be renovated.
Lawton said if the state approved the request for roofing, plans and specifications would be drawn up and bids taken for construction.
