Flint renovation a step closer
By JON BLONGEWICZ
Staff Reporter
Gov. John Carlin's budget proposal for an $874,500 renovation of Finn Hall is another step forward in a two-year process for improvements on the 81-year building.
But the proposal still must clear the hurdle of the Kansas Legislature, in particular, the Ways and Means committees of both the House and the Senate.
The renovation, first on Chancellor Archie Dykes' priority list of capital improvements, will involve design departments moved from Flint into their new building, according to Dei Research.
"We need more space and the space here is in poor condition," Brinkman said recently.
He said the earliest date construction could begin if the proposal passes would be fall 1981.
"That is a wild estimate," he said. "I would like it sooner, but that is not possible."
A COMMITTEE, led by Dana Beilengen,
assistant dean of the School of Journalism,
has drawn up a plan that, among other
things, will introduce the University
Daily Kansas newsroom and photography facilities, make a larger reading room, add a lecture hall and move
The newsroom would move to the west end of Flint, taking over the area vacated by
ceramics and industrial design students, according to the plan.
"the space at the west end of the building is open, but not usable." Brinkman said.
The William White reading room would become a large lecture hall and a new reading room w would be on the second floor. This new room would be twice the size of the old one. It will be a magnazium and historical newspaper collections and advertising research materials.
"A common theme is to cut down on the unnecessary heavy traffic on the upper floors," Brinkman said. "Traffic at the center and end of classes has been very heavy."
The plan would move heavy traffic classes to the first floor. Faculty offices and student records would be moved to second floor. The plan would remain the same. Brinkham said.
BRINKMAN SAID he hoped there would not be a problem getting the renovation through the Legislature.
"The Legislative Building Committee visited the building and they were impressed that there is a great need," Brinkman said.
He said that the University had a philosophy of taking care of existing buildings rather than building new ones.
Flint Hall was built in 1899 and is the second oldest building at KU. It was originally named Fowler houses, and housed machine shops until it was remodeled for
the school of Journalism in 1851. The building was renamed Flint Hall in honor of Leon Nelson Flint, a faculty member from 1906 to 1946.
Remodeling of the third floor, the construction of a photography laboratory in the basement and other minor renovations have been the only changes in the last 28 years.
ENROLLMENT in the School of Journalism has increased in that time from 79 to 620 students, and according to Dykes budget request, "the building is inadequate
for the present needs of the faculty and students."
"I see no reason why the Legislature would not see it as a worthy project."
Richard VonEnde, executive secretary to the chancellor, said he would make no predictions.
"We will have to justify it to the Legislature just as we did the governor," VonEnde said. "It is at the top of our priority list."
