'The Lawrence Arts Center is one step closer to a new complex, but there still is work to be done before the $5.6 million masterpiece is approved.
Arts center closer to improvement
By Chris Fickett
Kansan staff writer
Last night, the Lawrence City Commission forwarded the arts center improvement plan to the Historic Resources Commission.
The plan calls for renovations to the interior of the Carnegie Library building, at the northwest corner of West Ninth and Vermont streets.
The plan included a 275-seat performance space addition to the north of the Carnegie building and an educational facility addition to the west.
The building has housed the arts center since 1974.
Ann Evans, executive director of the arts center, said the three buildings would be attached at the middle by a performance-gathering space.
The arts center plan was designed by Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, 1001 New Hampshire St.
Wildgen said because the city was the owner and developer of the arts center, the city commission would have to make the final decision after the Historic Resources Commission made its recommendations.
City Manager Mike Wildeng said the plan must be approved first by the Historic Resources Commission because the renovations would occur within 500 feet of the Carnegie building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Historic Resources Commission will meet in special session Sept. 24 in City Hall to hear public comment and make recommendations about the plan.

said the firm had to overcome three obstacles: respecting the surrounding environments of the Carnegie building and downtown Lawrence, designing a center that the whole community could use and meeting the budget.
believe to be a good neighbor," he said. Erik Kilgren, member of friends of the Carnegie Library, said that the Historic Resources Commission had expressed concern in previous meetings that the arts center addition would encroach on the library building.
"We have come up with a design that we believe to be a good neighbor." he said.

New recreation center back on agenda
That is the question facing Student Senate members and administration at the University.
By Liz Wristen
Kansan staff writer
three committees have been created this semester to study the problems with Robinson Center and to come up with a proposal that best suits the needs of students based on location and available funding, said Kevin Yoder, student body president.
To build a new KU recreation center or not to build one.
The committees will begin meeting tomorrow.
"Many rooms in Robinson are being used for classes that usually meet in other buildings," Yoder said. "I think the recreation issue is getting worse, if anything, because
of the need to use Robinson for classes other than recreation. This highlights a need in my mind for more facilities."
At least three proposals will be considered by the committees this semester, Yoder said. If more proposals are created, then they will be considered as well, he said.
Ine proposals include renovations and additions to the current center, constructing a new center in a portion of the parking lot south of Watkins Memorial Health Center and constructing a center on West Campus.
The original proposal, made three years ago, was for a West Campus center. Students voted down the proposal because of the $90 start-up fee they would be charged to initiate the construction of the center and a lack of information about the plan, said Scott Kaiser, student body vice president.
Yoder and Kaiser said if students voted to construct a new center, they were considering an idea that
would require students to pay a start-up fee. If the plan passed in the spring, then students would begin paying the proposed fee next fall. The fee probably would be about $10 per student. Once the center was built, only the students using the center would be required to pay a fee.
"Three years ago, it seemed like the students just woke up and voted on the facility," Kaiser said. "It looked like they weren't consulted because, in fact, they were not consulted."
Yoder and Kaiser both will be heading up committees that will be involved in learning more about what students want in a recreation center. Yoder said his committee would concentrate on gathering student opinions about the different proposals. Kaiser's committee, which consists of students and administration, deals with the financing of the project and recreational services.
"Right now, we are really working
on trying to get organized," said Mary Chappell, director of recreational services. "When we get together, we are going to be talking about everything from the building block on up."
Chappell is one of four faculty members that will be involved with the planning process. The other faculty members are Ann Eversole, the assistant dean of student life; Danny Kaiser, director of the student organization and leadership development center; and Bob Lockwood, the facilities manager for Robinson.
Kaiser said that if a proposal could be agreed upon by the committees and administration, students would see the proposal on a referendum this April.
"At our first meeting, we will begin discussing when would be a good time to submit plans to the chancellor and the University." Lockwood said. "This issue is quite a priority for Student Senate, and it is going to be high on our agenda this semester."
