Building of Lied Center under way
By Katie Chipman Kansan staff writer
Contracts signed Dec. 18; completion goal set at 26 months
Construction of the Lied Center began Jan. 7, said Jim Modig, campus director of facilities planning.
KU officials and representatives of Hemingson, Durham and Richardson Ince., an Omaha, Neb., architectural firm, and Universal Constructive Co. to final contracts at a meeting Dec. 18 after several weeks of negotiations.
The negotiations clarified the date the construction would start and brought the estimated cost of the project within the $14.4 million budget.
Initially all bids submitted exceed the budgeted by the University for the project.
Construction, which was to begin by the end of 1990, was delayed in December in order to complete contract negotiations.
The center, which will be on West Campus, will replace Hoch Auditorium as the KU center for performin arts.
Richard Hendzlik, vice president of Universal Construction, said construction of the center would be completed in 26 months.
"Hoch has served us well, but it was built in 1927 and is difficult to use because of technological reasons," said Jacqueline Davis, director of the Concert, Chamber Music and New Directions series.
Davis will be the director of the center when it is completed and said that with the move to the new building, the arts program will expand of the arts program
The center will feature a hall that will include first-floor seating, two balconies and a lobby. Seating for 2,030 people will be available. In addition, there will be rehearsal space, an administrative wing.
"The real advantage is that it will be an excellent facility with good acoustics, and the environment will be very special," Davis said.
Planning for the project began in May 1988 when the Ernst F. Lied Foundation of Omaha, Neb., donated $10 million to Campaign Kansas. Additional money for the project was raised from private contributions.

Music festival brings money and music to Rio de Janeiro
The Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — The home of the samba will soon become the temporary capital of rock 'n' roll, as this Brazilian city prepares for one of the biggest music festivals ever conducted.
"Rock in Rio II," 10-day extravaganza featuring 24 international bands and 20 local acts, kicks off next Friday with a show by singers Prince and Joe Cocker and the Brazilian symphony orchestra.
Other performers include New Kids on the Block, George Michael, Guns 'n' Roses, Debbie Gibson, Judas Priest, Billy Idol, INSX, Robert Plant, Santana, Run-DMC, Lisa Stansfield, AHA, Faith No More, Deece-Lite, Megadeth and Information Society.
“This will be the music event of the 1990s,” Robert Medina, Rock in Rio II's festival promoter, said. “Costs in most places would make organizing an event like this impossible – you'd have to charge $300 for admission.” Medina also organized the original
Rock in Rio festival in 1985.
He said total costs for Rock in Rio II would come in at around $20 million. Coca-Cola, the chief sponsor, is fronting most of the money.
Shows will be conducted at Rio Maracana Stadium, the world's largest with a seating capacity of 200,000. However, to minimize safety problems, only 120,000 seats a day are being sold.
More than 300,000 tickets, ranging in price from about $10 to $30, already have been purchased. Total attendance is expected to top 1 million.
Promoters hope to make a $2.5 million profit from the festival.
Work for this year's show has been going on full-time for the past six months. Representative Le Penthada said 1,500 charter buses would help transport fans to Maracana, 500 private security nurses and 1,000 city police officers would protect them, and several "mini-hospitals" would be set up in case of medical emergency.
Through preparations also have been made on the musical end. A 6,720 square-yard stage — larger than a football field — has three movable platforms that will allow two bands to warm up while a third is set up. The platforms have been built for stage lighting, their displays and other special effects.
Festival organizers hope the shows will help change the city's image, which has been scared by a high crime rate and glaring poverty.
"Rio is the most beautiful city in the world, and Brazilian youth are incredibly warm and peaceful." Medina said. "Tourism is fundamental for our economy, and we want to prove to other businessmen that big events can be held here without any problems."

He said Brazil's overwhelming economic problems would be a boon to him.
"We've kept ticket prices down to try to make the festival as accessible as possible," he said. "It will be a great escape valve."
