1. ENGEL ROAD
In a three-way project on Daisy Hill, workers rebuilt the curbs and sidewalks on Engel Road. Private donations and gifts funded the $500,000 project. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said parking consultants would also examine the residence hall parking lots this school year to determine the possibility of adding more spaces.
All of Lilac Lane south of Jayhawk Boulevard will be under construction this semester. James Modig, director of design and construction management, said workers would repave Lilac Lane and replace curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Parking on Lilac Lane will not be allowed during the construction. Modig did not specify a completion date.

3. STEAM TUNNEL
Near Dyche Hall and Spooner Hall, workers are replacing a steam tunnel. James Long, vice provost for facilities planning and management, said the old steam tunnel had deteriorated to the point that it was unsafe and was a liability to other utilities around it. The scheduled completion date is January 2005, and Jayhawk Boulevard is open in the meantime.
4. WESCOE TERRACE
The remodeling and expansion of Wescoe Terrace began in the summer. The expansion will include a coffee shop and convenience store. It will also have a new food court featuring a Pizza Hut and a Chick-Fil-A. The revamped terrace is scheduled to open in September.

6. HALL CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES
Work on the new home for the Hall Center for the Humanities continues. The old building is at 1540 Sunflower Rd., down the road from Watson Library. The new facility is an old powerhouse across the street from the current Hall Center. The completion date is set for spring 2005, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center.
7. MULTICULTURAL RESOURCE CENTER
Construction of the new Multicultural Resource Center, to be located by the northeast corner of the Kansas Union between the between the Union and the parking lot, will begin soon. Pat Beard, director of building services for KU Memorial Unions, said the University had selected an architect and the process of drawing up a design should begin soon. The project will cost $3 million, collected through private funding.
8. OLIVER RESIDENCE HALL
Work on the new living room and lounge in Oliver Hall started in the summer. The new lounge will have seating areas, televisions and late-night food services, including a pizza and sub shop. The new lounge is scheduled to open in November. The cost of the lounge is about $583.000.
Stoner said funding for residence hall maintenance did not come from private donations or gifts. The Department of Student Housing receives no state funding. Money for maintenance and projects within the residence halls comes from a portion of the students' room and board costs. He said projects like the Oliver lounge did not cost hall residents more money than they usually pay.
