Construction on Mt. Oread Tries To Keep Pace with Student Body
More students . . . more buildings — more buildings . . . more students. While most halls and classrooms at KU are crammed beyond capacity, construction of new facilities tries to keep pace with the mushrooming enrollment.
At the present rate of construction on the campus, one can envision buildings popping up on all sides of Mount Oread, and the University itself eventually encompassing all of Lawrence and Douglas County.
The $2,500,000 addition to the Kansas Memorial Union was completed last September. Snow Hall, the biological science department's new wing west of Strong Hall, will be finished by early Spring. Plans for the new engineering building have been drawn. New dormitories have been proposed and the Board of Regents have recommended that more dormitories be built.
BUT THE PRESENT CONSTRUCTION program at KU includes many items that are not of the magnitude to warrant publicity. They are, however, necessary to the University's physical plant.
For instance, the foundation for the hangar at the airport for use by the aeronautical engineering department is almost finished. Offices for the department of mathematics in Strong Hall are in the final stage of construction. Preliminary plans have been submitted to the state architect's office for a storage building on the Robinson Natural History farm northeast of Lawrence. Bids have been let to build steps for the Sunnyside Avenue sidewalk.
KEITH LAWTON, administrative assistant to the chancellor for physical plant development and coordination, maintains in his office a chart of all construction for KU from the preliminary planning stage to the final inspection of construction.
There are presently 19 items of construction under way at KU. These range from those previously mentioned to the nuclear reactor, which is half completed, the Watson Library addition of which a preliminary sketch has been made and the air conditioning of Flint Hall on which installation is in progress.
EVERY PIECE OF WORK which Mr. Lawton supervises goes through 21 stages before it is considered absolutely finished. This applies to everything that has to be contracted for building.

The buildings and grounds department takes care of most of the work necessary for the maintenance of the University such as paving of streets and repair of buildings. But the major work, that for which bids are let, must go through the 21 steps.
INITIALLY, THERE is the preliminary planning sketch, and approval of the construction by Mr. Lawton's office. The final planning is handled by the KU building program committee which then turns it over to the state architect. Blueprints are made by the KU architectural department and submitted to the state architect for revision and approval. An estimate of cost is then made.
Final approval begins with the chancellor and is then passed on to the Board of Regents, the state legislature, the KU budget committee, the state business manager and back to the state architect.
