Marvin Hall reopens doors
By STEVE ROBRAHN Staff Reporter
The School of Architecture and Urban Design reoccupied Marvin Hall yesterday after a year of renovation.
Although the move won't be completed for about a month, administrators were back in their offices yesterday afternoon.
Grabow sat amid a pile of boxes and books in his new office, just inside the front doors of the building.
"It is remarkable to recycle an old building," said Stephen Grabaw, director of the architecture program. "It shows what is possible with buildings that aren't considered that remarkable."
He said he was admiring the scene on Jayhawk Boulevard from his office window after spending a year in a windowless office in Fowler Shops.
CARPET WAS installed throughout the building and walls were refinished, new classrooms were created and special light effects were added.
"Marvin was falling apart," Grabow said of the building before its renovation. "I think it was the oldest unrenovated building on campus."
The move should be complete by Oct. 15, although some classes will meet in Marvin starting Wednesday, said Chris Ackerman, dean of the School of Architecture.
"It seems there are more and more tasks to be done as each day unfolds," he said.
THE $2.8 MILLION PROJECT was to have been completed Q4T1 but was finished Q5T1
Domer said many of the architectural motifs, such as the interior arches of Marvin Hall, remained intact throughout the renovation to give the building a pleasant blending of old and new.
"The time will come when professors and students will use the building as an example."
Domer had nothing but compliments for Design Build Architects of Lawrence, the firm that redesigned the interior.
"The architects have done an extremely fine job with the building and most users are almost overwhelmed by it. Think the students will take care of it."
OUTSIDE, NOT MUCH has changed from the way Marvin Hall looked when it was built in 1908. Inside, however, the hiding has taken on a sleek modern look.
"I think the architects certainly had in mind that they were doing a renovation for a school of architecture," Domer noted, noting that the firm was dominated by former KU faculty faculty members and students.
Several studios are almost ready for use, Dorner said, but the elevator is still under construction and won't be completed until Monday.
"The most extraordinary thing is to move a school out of a building and into an abandoned space."
gave a tour of freshly-painted rooms and halls.
A FOURTH FLOOR area, once known as "the bowling alley" because of its length, will be the new home of the Hatch Reading Room, Domer said. The area will provide students with a valuable resource area and a place to view the school's collection of 40,000 architectural pictures and slides.
Conference rooms were added to each floor and an exhibit hall was built in the center of the second floor.
"It will be great to have everyone back together so we can feel more like a school again," he said. "It hasn't been that hard, everyone scattered everywhere."
ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS attended classes and labs in several areas of the campus for the last year, including Robinsiumrium and the museum of Burlingua.
Marmin didn't have the kind of design studios the architecture school needed, Domer said, but now the studios are smaller with lockers built inside of
Studies were furnished with cutting tables, he said, and drafting tables were refinished. The school is also offering stool tools for students for the first time.
In the past, students were expected to purchase their own stools, Domer said.
"It's been transformed from essentially an engineering building to an architecture building," he said.
A tough question to ask, and even tougher one to answer. But the Lawrence City Commission will try to answer it when it decides tonight who gets permanent use of the old Bert Nash home.

Do children who have been removed from their homes have more needs than battered women?
City Commission will discuss future use of old Nash home
O'Connell Youth Ranch, which provides long-term shelter for teenagers who have committed legal offenses, has a temporary lease on the building at Fourth and Missouri streets.
But Women's Transitional Car Services, which provides a 24-hour service for battered women, also has staff with a desire to use the building.
"O'Cannell has done a very nice job in getting established in the home," she said. "We will have to do a very good reason to throw them out."
THE COMMISSION will have to decide whether the need of WTCS is great enough to remove O'Connell and Hancock, said Commissioner Nenv Shontz.
the money O'Connell had invested would be considered in the commission's decision.
"The fact that O'Connell is there and has already spent $18,000 on the home, and that WTCS would not be available," he got to be a consideration," he said.
Shontz told the commission was limited in the help it could give social organizations. She said, however, that if WTC5 did not get the home, the city would make an effort to find it better housing.
"The women's home is really in sad condition," Shontz said. "The city ought to be able to find some house somewhere that Community Development funds might be able to renovate."
OFFICIALS AT O'CONNELL said WTCS played down the competition between the two agencies for the home.
"Both are good agencies that serve a need in the town." Judith Culley, team leader at O'Connell, said. "You can't look at it as a question between two needs; it would not make sense.
"We're very proud of having been ranked so high," Hurst said. "We know
The center was judged this month on the basis of a written proposal describing its resources and activities. It ranked ahead of Princeton, Stanford and Yale universities, among others, said Cameron Hurst, who co-directs the center along with Chae-Jin Lee, professor of political science.
"I think the visits were helpful," said I萨贝特 Taitl of the WTCS. "The WTCS shelter house's address is anonymous, which leads to a mystique about the shelter—whether or not it is real.
"Even if we don't get the home, at least our needs have been brought to the surface."
"We are just concerned that if we don't get the house, then there would be the loss of one good service."

visit both facilities to guage the progress of the two agencies.
WTCS HAS FOUND temporary shelter in a rented three-bedroom house which is inadequate for the shelter's needs, according to Tait.
The KU Center for East Asian Studies has been rated the third best in the country by the U.S. department of Education co-director of the center.

The center was awarded $162,720 this year from the Department of Education for the support of a National Resource Center and for student fellowships.
"In the three months we have housed 38 children and 27 women here," she said. "Even at that we don't know as many people as we need it."
we are a sound academic program and this confirms it."
Of all the centers to receive the grants, the KU center received the

largest increase in funding, 45 percent,
he said.
O'Connell uses the Bert Nash building for short-term emergency places of youths. Juveniles in trouble can use the facility for up to eight hours, either return home or are moved to longer-home housing. Culley said.
Commissioner Barkley Clark said
"We have an advantage in that we're the only center in this entire part of the country," Hurst said.
Center activities supported by the grant include outreach and overseas study programs, Hurst said. The center also sponsors conferences, curriculum development, library acquisitions and a summer language institute.
Commissioners were invited to
Hurst said he did not know whether the center's ranking would make it easier to get funding in the future.

The University of Kansas has added six new courses, including three of interest to teachers, to its correspondence study program.
"Teacher Reading in the Secondary School," "The Teacher and School Organization" and "The Coaching of Football" each carry three hours of graduate credit and will be taught by the same instructors who teach them at KU.
Also new to the correspondence
curriculum are "The Sociology of Aging" and "The Sociology of Health and Medicine," both offered by KU, and "Housing," a 'course offered through the family economics department at Kansas State University.
The correspondence study program, Independent Study, is a unit of the KU Division of Continuing Education. It offers about 120 college and 30 high school courses on behalf of all the Kansas Regents universities.
