Burge remodels new office space

Of the Kansan staff
A $153,000 remodeling and expansion project for level one of Burge Union, which started two weeks ago, will be completed by February, James Long, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said yesterday.
The project includes new offices for the University Placement Center and expansion of Legal Services. The first floor of the Burge Union
The remodeling will also include a new vending area and new offices and storage space for Wilderness Discovery, the Student Union Activities outdoor camping center. Long said.
"When the building was originally constructed, portions of level one were never completed," Long said. "Offices were located there temporarily, but then the opportunity came along to renovate, and a survey was conducted to determine the need."
He said the survey was conducted a year and a half ago, and consisted of 2,800 questionnaires to students, faculty and staff. The planning took about a year, and members of the placement services staff and staff from SUA and Legal Services submitted remodeling proposals. The B.A. Green Construction Co., 1207 Iowa St., was awarded the contract for phase one of the renovation.
Phases two and three include the addition of meeting areas on level three as well as a television viewing area and three private dining areas, similar to the alcoves in the Kansas Union cafeteria. Long said
bids would be taken for those projects sometime next year.
Vernon Geisler, director of the placement center, said, "The whole purpose of the renovation is toift both students and faculty."
He said advantages of the placement center's move to Burge from Carruth-O'Leary included a closer proximity to engineering, business and law placement offices, improved parking and food facilities for recruiters, improvement of the faculty-recruiters luncheon program and better facilities for workshop presentations.
About 400 companies will be using KU placement services across the campus this year to conduct at least 8,000 student interviews. The 12 interview rooms will be more readily accessible to people with handicaps and will make movement between interview areas easier for students and potential employers. Geissler said.
Cynthia Week, director of Legal Services for Students, said the offices they used now were too crowded and they had trouble scheduling staff work hours to assist the 2,500 students that they help annually.
"We're very happy about the renovation being done," she said. "We've been too crowded, and we just anticipate having more space to provide a better working environment for our staff."
She said her staff of three attorneys and seven part-time students would especially benefit from the new library because a large part of their services for students included research.
