Gifts to addition holding for state funds
Unusual money mix
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
The Board of Advisors of the KU School of Business has raised $1,120,000 in private donations for a five-story addition to Summerfield Hall and is now seeking the rest of the necessary $2,404,000 from the Kansas Legislature.
"Normally, projects are funded by state or federal funds." Allen Weichert, University director of facilities planning, said yesterday, "Or, they're usually funded totally by private donors.
"Normally, we don't go out and solicit funds and ask the Legislature to match funds."
But in 1879, the Board of Advisers decided that extra space was needed to expand the school. To avoid the lengthy process of requesting legislative funds
the Board of Advisers started the fund raising drive.
"We had wanted to raise the entire project," said John Poos, a Salma certified public accountant and chairman of the advisory board's executive committee—the steering group for the drive. "But it's a pretty unusual thing for a private group to invest in money for a state-owned building."
The Board of Advisers is a group of about 65 business and professional people from all over the United States who are interested in the KU School of Business, Poes said. Most of the board members, however, are from Kansas and Missouri.
The Board had received only part of the money pledged thus far, according to John Tolleffson, dean of the School of Business.
The total amount received is from
$50,000 to $700,000. "Toulfeon said,
he would wish it with ease possible to raise enough for future needs."
But the capital fund drive fell short of providing the necessary $2,400,400 for the project.
The remainder of the funds needed for the addition to the southern edge of the building will have to come from the building part of an educational building fund.
Poas said any concerted efforts to raise more money for the addition were
Wiechert said, "The total project is estimated at $2,404,000 and then there was a request for $1,354,000 in state funds."
The need for the additional space in Summerfield began about four or five years ago with the growth of the school during the '70s. Tollison said.
Earlier modifications to the building
included the conversion of a reading room into office space on the second floor in the early 70s and the continuation of classrooms on the third floor into offices.
"The School of Business has been one of the fastest growing departments of the University," Poos said.
The Board of Regents received and approved the proposed project last spring Wiechert said.
The donations made by private citizens and corporations, Tolleson said, went to the Kansas University Endowment Association. But the money was earmarked specifically for the Summerfield addition.
Now all that is necessary is for the Legislature to approve the funding package.
"It wouldn't take long after the Legislature approved it," Poos said, "maybe six months."
