West Campus expansion planned
Staff Reporter
By BILL RIGGINS
Possibilities for expansion on West Campus are practically endless, KU ofF offers.
Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning, said West Campus filled the role of a "support campus" by providing a place for students to learn and research and maintenance facilities.
"Support services are the kinds of things that are an integral part of the University but don't conform to the class-hour day," Lawton said.
He said all such services were candidates for relocation to West Campus.
Lawton said the greatest benefit of moving support services to West Campus was that it opened up valuable building space for academic uses.

define the responsibilities of different types of schools to provide an integrated state system. He said he told community colleges how their courses would transfer as credit to
"Of course we would always be opposed to the community colleges expanding to a four-year program because they would have to take us in some form of competition," McKnight said. "But I'm very impressed with the academic programs at the community colleges. Each one serves its own campus, and can see there is no significant duplication."
McKnight said that since communication had been established, there were plans to further integrate the state's higher education system.
He said the University was working on a grant proposal to be sent to the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grant will be awarded to a college faculty and KU graduate students.
The plan would be for community college faculty to take KU courses, meet regularly with KU faculty and talk with students for a semester as part of a sabbatical leave.
"IN RETURN, KU would send someone like a graduate student to teach the participants' courses for that semester," McKnight said. "It would allow both sides to learn more. A system like that would allow students who are still have strong relations across the state."
McKnight said he reported information from the community colleges to four KU students.
"I think KU is the hardest of the Big Eight schools and the total state system is the reason," McKnight said. "Kansas has always been dedicated to higher education and the state legislators have been very generous."
AS AN EXAMPLE, LAWY, said the, Kansas Geological Survey move from Lindley hall to its new building on West Mountains up nearly half of Lindley for academic use.
Lawton said the West Campus area consisted of 480 acres of land. For the most part, it is owned by the Kansas University Athletics Department and it required it step-by-step during the 1948 and 1960s.
He said that when the University needed a certain amount of the land for a specific purpose, such as a building site, the Enrollment office usually gave it to the University for free.
Lawton said the next large development on West Campus probably would be the construction of a Facilities Operations complex.
**THAT WOULD include the University garage, motor pool, storage facilities and other facilities.**
Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning, said no date had been set for the program.
Wiechert, who coordinates facilities planning on all of KU's campuses, said the
The preliminary plans, feasibility studies and working drawings that determine the necessity of a building project are usually prepared by KU Architectural Services.
FO complex was 13th on a KU list of 21 projects seeking state aid.
AL THOMAS, University landscape architect, said he had been involved with Architectural Services and West Campus planning since he came to KU in 1949.
Thomas said the construction of an FO complex would have to be preceded by the improvement of access roads and the construction of new utility and drain lines.
He said Architectural Services was working on feasibility studies and preliminary planning reports for that purpose.
Thomas said he also was working on other plans for West Campus.
"These are not official plans, they're just conjecture on my part," he said.
Thomas said one of his plans was to add more office and storage space to the building.
"We had hoped to put in a new wing, but it will probably be in the form of temporary wings."
