Perspiring KU artists find no relief for heat
By JOSEPH REBELLO
Staff writer
For the last two weeks, students in the art and design building have sweated over their work, but not always because they've been working too hard.
Mostly, it's been because the building's air conditioner has been broken since April 16, and the building has few windows.
Students say the oppressive heat in the building has made it hard for them to work on their final class projects. And some professors say the heat and the acrid smell of turpentine in the studios has caused some students to go home with headaches.
"I've noticed that there aren't students working much over here anymore," said Gregg Armstrong, Muscotah senior. "It's been so hot that you can't stand to be here. And it's hard to do painting and things like that any place other than a studio."
Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts,
said most class periods were at least
three hours long, which made some
students skip class rather than
endure the heat, and made some
professors cancel their classes.
Roger Shimomura, professor of art, said, "The interesting thing is that this building was designed to be an energy-saving building. But no windows there are no windows. I guess they just never expected it would end up like this."
Shimomura said he gave his students the option of working at home.
Thompson said that a chilling unit in the air conditioning system burned out and that facilities operations officials promised to replace the unit by yesterday evening.
Late yesterday afternoon, Thompson said he was told that the air conditioner was fixed. But Thompson, who visited the building, said he could not tell whether the air conditioner was working.
"If they haven't fixed it, it's going to be terrible." Thompson said. "Because of the design of the building, there's just nothing you can do. And it's not easy for students to get work accomplished in that heat."
Bob Porter, facilities operations' associate director for physical plant maintenance, could not be reached for comment.
