Learned Hall to expand
By Eve Lamborn Kansan staff writer
Construction of the $16 million expansion to Learned Hall may begin by the end of December at the earliest, said Carl Locke, dean of engineering.
The School of Engineering still needs about $4 million to fund the construction, which is the only thing slowing down the project, Locke said.
"We hoped to begin last year, but now that's pushed back," he said. "Things look favorable for an end-of-the-year groundbreaking."

In a joint effort with the Kansas University Endowment Association, the School of Engineering has raised about $12 million.
Unlike other renovations on campus, such as Joseph R. Pearson Hall or Murphy Hall, this new building will be financed completely privately, Locke said.

Locke said actual construction of the new building would take about 18 months. The electrical engineering and computer science department will be

Kenneth Demarest, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said the department currently operated in both Learned and Snow halls. Department members also do reasearch in Nichols Hall.
"We're all over the place and we're tired of that," Demarest said.
Tyler Stone, Manhattan freshman, said having the entire engineering school in one place sounded like a good idea.
"It would be more convenient to have everything in one place, and less walking," he said.
