Tunnel project on schedule
By CYNTHIA HRENCHIR Staff Reporter
The first phase of construction of a steam tunnel between Robinson Center and Allen Field House was completed on schedule, according to Keith Lawton. University director of facilities planning for the Lawrence campus. He instructed on a second tunnel, between Murray and Maatot halls, is under way.
"We want to have Naismith Drive cut and repaired before the fall semester began and we want to have the heat on and repairs completed before the cold hits in Allen Field House." Lawton said.
Because of the heavy usage there, "Naismith Drive was preplanned as such to get the drive back in operation," he said.
THE CORNER of Naismith and Sunnyside drives was blocked by excavation through much of the summer, but the team managed to close it completely for 30 days.

Before the construction began May 16, the steam, which is used to heat Allen Field House, flowed from Haworth to Murphy Hall, then from Murphy through an underground line to Allen Field House.
The new tunnel will connect to an existing tunnel at the northwest corner of Robinson, allowing steam to pass directly to Allen Field House.
Lawton said the new tunnel cost $663,430.
He said that when Allen Field House and Murphy were built in the 1960s, the state could not afford the cost of the utility tunnel.
"So they sacrificed permanency to save money," Lawton said. "They decided to use as an alternative direct burial steam lines with a limited life
So in the 1950s, the University installed a temporary system it estimated would last 25 years.
"It was reaching the end of its serviceability," Lawton said. "The smart thing to do was replace it before any real problem started."
LAWTON SAID there were signs the system was beginning to have problems.
He said that in the last several years, steam had been leaking from manholes near Allen Field House.
Lawton said the system was not
intended to make it easier for utility line maintenance, but it will be a nice benefit.
The second tunnel, being constructed between Murphy and Malott halls, will replace another buried line.
"The work will basically be between the Military Science building and the southeast corner of Murphy and to Malot marking lot." Lawton said.
"Students will still be able to travel between Wescoe and Robinson Gymnasium," he said, "but probably Summerfield Hall parking will be form up."
Work on the steam tunnels is one of three major projects now under construction on campus. The new Alumni Association building, known as the K. S. "Boots" Adams Alumni Center, 13th and Oread, and the Moore Hall addition on West Campus are the two other projects.
"Everthing is going fine with these projects," Lawton said. "They are on schedule with no abnormal problems besides the rainy season predictables."
Though the alumni center is slightly behind schedule because of rain, he said, there is plenty of time during the week to finish lost time and finish by the fall of 1983.
Lawton said the Moore Hall addition on West Campus is scheduled to be completed before the 1983 fall semester.
