Some studios violate fire codes; committee to revise regulations
By TIM HAMILTON
Staff writer
The dean of the School of Architecture has appointed a committee to redefine regulations guiding students' use of studies in Marvin Hall and Lindley Annex.
W. Max Lucas, dean of the school, said he had formed the committee this semester to address concerns of students and facilities and operations employees about fire code violations in students' studios.
Fire marshals recently visited the studios and determined that some visual effects were needed.
The committee will establish guidelines to limit what students may do to personalize or enhance the work spaces in their studios, he said.
"We have to provide the students with a place to work, but we also have to maintain the facilities of the University," Lucas said.
The committee includes chairman Barry Newton, associate professor of architecture; Dennis Domer, associate dean of the school; Tom Anderle, associate dean of the collections; and Jeff Royer, Columbia. Me, junior an architecture student.
Newton said that a first copy of the studio policy had been drafted but
that it wouldn't be finished this week.
it wouldn't be insisted this week.
He said the studio problem caused recurring tension between the students and facilities and operations.
Anderson said that six years ago, after Marvin and Lindley Annex were renovated because of damage caused by students, school policy on the studios was strict. In the past few years the policy has been relaxed, and he said he didn't want similar damage to occur.
"I wouldn't call it a problem with a capital 'P,' " he said. "It's just that not enough of the people involved with the situation are satisfied."
About a month ago, city and state fire marshals inspected studios in Marvin and Lindley Ann and deter- ments that had been violated, Anderson said.
"They pointed out extension cords, overloading outlets, flammable materials hanging from ceilings and furniture clogging aisles to the door," he said.
"Any of the professors who were here then remember it and don't want that to happen again," he said.
"Now, I understand that a small group of undergraduates wants to do some different things."
"The students are frustrated because they couldn't see a clear written policy," he said.
Chris Theis, associate professor and acting chairman of architecture, said that maintenance was a problem that school policy was unclear.
have no problem with the students' studios, he said, if the students would clean up after themselves and not violate fire and safety codes.
Royer agreed with Theis and said, "It had reached the point that the administration was enforcing policies that the students really didn't understand. The facilities and operations people didn't really understand how we felt."
Royer said students worked in the studios up to 18 hours a day and wanted to make their spaces more comfortable.
"We simply had a desire to work and create our spaces like we wanted to," he said. "It kind of goes hand and hand with what we're studying."
Facilities and operations would
Royer said the committee had successfully established communications between students and the University.
