"I probably shouldn't have used that term," Hannon said. "They have already laid the concrete for a 55-foot tower before the zoning appeals meeting. I think that got a lot of people upset."
Dan Sabatini of Sabatini and Associates Architects Inc., which is constructing the tower, said the church planned the 55-foot bell tower in order to be respectful of the neighborhood. Krische echoed the sentiments of Sabatini concerning the height of the bell tower.

"In terms of pure square footage, this is one of the largest in the nation," Williams said.
In the area on the south end of the building athletes can gain strength and quickness through using the stairs, stadium stairs and a 28-degree ramp. Those facilities give the athletes an opportunity to work out indoors, Williams said.

Williams, a former Kansas football player, said the stadium stairs used a rubber mulch made of recycled tires that added to the workout, while keeping the athlete's legs as safe as possible.
Downstairs will be the weight room, which will include $560,000 of new equipment. The equipment will be moved in over spring break. Downstairs also includes showers with areas for athletes to store bags when working out. Offices for the strength coaches also are located downstairs.
Athletes will use the upstairs as a cardiovascular area. The 8,000-square-foot field will be covered with synthetic turf. Also upstairs are two classrooms book-ended by two conference rooms on the end.
Kempf said that the conference rooms would ease pressure on trying to find somewhere to hold meetings.
"A lot of times all our meeting rooms are scheduled," Kempf said. "We don't have any place to go, so this has been a great addition."
In the lobby area, athletes will be greeted by a 9.5 foot by 10.5 foot Jayhawk hanging from the wall.
Overall, Kempf said he was satisfied with the progress of the building and proud of the facility as a whole.
"If you can't get strong in here, you can't get strong period," Kempf said.

John Stien recently became a homeowner in the neighborhood. He does not understand what all the fuss is about over the bell tower.
Stien said only a limited number of residents would have a
view of the 55-foot tower.
"I don't know why it is such a problem to extend the height of the tower since there are taller structures around the neighborhood such as dorms, elevators, water towers and utility poles," Stien said.
Watson understands that not every resident of the neighborhood is backing the case
against the church, but she made it clear that the issue is grounded in rules and regulations.
"It's not an issue of religion," Watson said. "It's a matter of zoning and integrity for the neighborhood."
