Storms don't slow Lied Center work
Kansan staff writer
By Jeff Meesey
Construction of the multimillion-dollar Lied Center on West Campus still is on schedule despite bad weather last month.
But he said the company was optimistic that the center would be able to meet those needs.
Martin Henry, property manager of the Kansas University Endowment Association, said the contractor, Universal Construction Co. lost a few work days last month on the center because of rain and mud.
Henry said that with bad weather, especially rain, it was dangerous for him.
"Equipment sticks in the mud, and equipment that sticks high into the air can attract lightning," he said. "I think sometimes they work when others wouldn't, but not when it's raining or slick."
Although construction of the center is on schedule, some design plans have been changed for financial reasons.
The biggest change was to relocate the air conditioning and heating unit to the roof at the back of the center, Thompson said.
Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts, said. "To save money, several design and material changes were made before construction began in Janu-
"That was a substantial savings," he said.
Originally, a separate building was to be built to house the unit.
Another way costs were cut was by reducing the seating capacity from 2,160 to 2,020.
"Our goal was to have more than 2,000 seats, so this will fit our needs," Thompson said.
Jacqueline Davis, director of fine arts concert series, said that having fewer seats actually was an advantage.
She said acoustical quality diminished with more than 2.300 seats.
Changes in building materials also were made to save money. For example, natural stone on the lobby and the box office was changed to tile.
The center will house many activities that now take place in Hoch Auditorium such as traveling performances, faculty and student ensemble performances and lectures.
Other productions, such as Rock Chalk Revue, also may be performed there.
"It has been on the University's master plan for 20 years to build a replacement for Hoch, mainly because it is outmoded," said Allen Wiechert, University director of facilities planning.
