Renovation plans developing slowly, library dean says
Plans for a $8.2 million renovation of Watson Library are slowly taking form, Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, said yesterday.
Representatives of Hollis and Miller an Overland Park architectural company that is handling the renovation project, were at the University of Kansas last week to learn about the operation and needs of the library, Ranz said.
Ranz described the progress of the renovations "nothing very exciting right now," but said the architects had submitted proposed layouts to the library.
The project will be remodeling work. There will be no building space added, Ranz said.
The remodeling will include removal of walls and the installation of new heating, air conditioning and plumbing systems.
"It will take several months for final plans and bids to be made," Ranz said.
