University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, June 12, 1991 5 Barn repairs are under way By Jeff Meesey Kansan staff writer KU's 100-year-old glass-blowing barn, which was closed because of serious concerns, will be repaired and opened on Monday. Thompson, dean of fine arts, said. Patrick G BRUNARd/T/Special to the KANSAN Thompson closed Chamney Barn, on 15th Street, in April because of concerns about its furnaces and temporary wiring. The barn was used by students enrolled in glass-blowing classes. The glass-blowing barn remains closed because of safety concerns with furnaces and wiring. Jonathan Cohen, a former glass-blowing student, compiled a report about the problems in the barn and submitted it to several KU officials, whom he compared, in April. The barn was closed soon after the report was submitted. Cohen's report included concerns about poor ventilation and maintenance of the equipment as well as the furnaces and wiring. Thompson said that the barn would be fixed to accommodate the five students who had declared glass blowing as their major but that classes would not be conducted there until more repairs could be done. This summer, the barn's wiring will be repaired and ignitions will be installed in two of the barn's five furnaces, which will make them safer to operate. "We're really committed to allowing them to finish the glass-blowing program properly," Thompson said. "We have to go all the way toward getting the barn on again." Thompson said, "There is no danger if the furnaces are lit properly, but with the ignitors we are going to need that there is no way to do it improperly." "The unaeled doors on the furnaces allow the 2,600-degree heat to escape from the furnace." Cohen You just stand there and get singer. A sign in the barn read, "Warning Glass Students. You will cut and burn yourself. This is part of learning to work with glass. Please stay alert. Be careful. May your sears be small ones." "If we can develop a long-range budget, we're looking at between Thompson said that the repairs this summer would cost $11,000 to $15,000. $60,000 and $100,000," he said. Jim Modig, campus director of facilities planning, said, "Better ventilation would be desirable to make it more bearable in there, but right now it would also be the time nor the money. It's a good common-sense thing to have."
