First part of science library completed
By Linda Gaumnitz Kansan staff writer
Construction projects at the University of Kansas are proceeding on schedule, and the Kansas red cedar tree sitting on top of the science library's steel shell is one sign.
The juniper, placed on the shell June 10, signifies the completion of the library's steel girder skeleton, said Stan Claassen, project director for R.D. Anderson Construction of Topeka.
"Putting the tree on top of a building's structure is kind of a tradition," Claassen said. "We saw some construction companies do it in Denver and Kansas City, and we just picked up on it.
"We've gotten through the hard part, building out of the ground. The rest is just finishing off the construction."
Claassen said the library's 91,000 square feet of open study areas and study rooms would be completed in July 1989.
Snow Hall is undergoing renovation to make room for the mathematics and computer science departments.
William Bulgen, professor of computer sciences, said more classrooms and research labs would be available for faculty and students.
"The nicest feature of the building will be a data and voice communication system which allows any computer to talk to any other computer in the building," he said. "It will truly be a modern facility."
Allen Wiechert, director of Facilities Planning, said the first phase of construction, gutting out and remodeling the 65-year-old wing of the building will be completed in August, and renovation will be completed by next fall.
"Construction started primarily to make space for the math and computer science departments which are now into Strong Hall." Wiechert, said.
Doug Riat, assistant director of Facilities Planning, said the road construction behind Stauffer-Flint Hall would be completed by August 19.

Safety Hints from your gas company.
If you detect an odor you think may be natural gas-
(1) Open windows and doors to dilute the air to a safe level.
(2) Call for aid or advice from the gas company or fire department or police department
(3) If the odor appears to be very strong leave the house or building immediately. Go to a telephone and notify the gas company—do not turn on any electrical appliances, including light switches.
(4) When the problem is solved, have a qualified person from the gas company, plumbing or climate control firms relight appliances.
(5) In the event a leak is detected anywhere outside of a building notify the gas company immediately and describe the location and approximate level of the odor — a quick check of the area will be made to determine the problem and corrective action needed.
If you have any questions please contact our office.
