Residents to get peace and quiet at GSP-Corbin
By Liz Hueben
Kansan staff writer
Phase one of renovations to Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall is almost complete, and residents can look forward to a little peace and quiet until phase two begins.
Phase one is a $1.4 million project, said Jim Modig, campus director of facilities planning. He said that phase two figures would depend on the amount of money available from the department of student housing, but that he anticipated phase two would involve another $1 million.

The women have been very good and very understanding. The women of Corbin have been very gracious.'
— Kenneth Stoner director of student housing
Kenneth Stoner, director of student housing, said he had received some complaints from residents about noise from the concrete trucks, which sometimes rolled in at 7 a.m. He said there were also a couple of days when hot water was not available while work was being done.
But he said there hadn't been as many complaints as he had expected.
"The women have been very good and very understanding," he said. "The women of Corbin have been very gracious."
Renovations in phase one also include new offices for the department of student housing, which will move from McColum Hall to GSP-Corbin, a new parking lot, better lighting and walkway areas and increased accessibility for disabled students, said Fred McElhenie, associate housing director.
He said that the offices of residential life and housing had been combined in McCollum since June 1987. Before that, he said, the housing institution was in McCollum but its residential life office is in Strong Hall.
Modig estimated that the contractors, R.D. Andersen Construction
Company Inc. of Topeka, would be finished with phase one about Jan. 15, 1990.
Stoner said that after the construction, telecommunications, computer wiring and new windows would need to be installed before the offices

Modig said phase two probably would be pushed along as soon as phase one was completed.
Riverfront construction ready to move indoors

"There is little exterior work to do," said David Longhurst, manager of the project for the Chelsea Group, a New Jersey-based retailer. "It takes an outlet malls." "Things are going very well, and it looks just beautiful."
As the weather turns wintry, construction workers at the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza are finishing the building's outside and are moving inside.
Some of the recently completed exterior work, he said, included the landscaping and parking lot. Other outside work soon to be finished includes the installation of glass and the topping of the promenade deck. Longhurst said.
the interior of the 150,000-square-foot Riverfront Plaza has not been neglected in the interim, he said. The escalator is in place, and the elevator is almost complete, Longhuang, Longhuang, before fronts are done, he said, although doors need to be hung.

"We will sell group tours to KU, the museum of Natural History, walking tours and Watkins Museum," he said. "The tour may go to Abilene. It would be a package.
"The best selling point is getting people to visit Lawrence, the project and Kansas City and see it for themselves," he said.
Commissioners attend conference in Atlanta
Steve Felix, vice president of leasing for the Chelsea Group, said the process of getting stores to commit to the project was going well.
"People will come in for football games and stay to shop. It will be ideal for tourist groups."

Jack Kemp, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was greeted warmly yesterday by members of the Lawrence City Commission and other delegates at the National League of Cities annual conference in Atlanta.
"The stores are very sensitive about disclosure." he said.
"Kemp is obviously trying to reressure a department that has strayed and was probably out of focus with what was going on in a majority of cities," Mayor Bob Schumm said last night.

the conference, which will run through tomorrow, features numerous workshops and exhibits. Lawrence city commissioners have split up each day in order to take part in the workshops as possible. Schumm said.
Schumm said Lawrence could expect additional aid for housing programs if administration proposes to be presented by Kemp were approved.
Kemp's luncheon speech to the conference was met with "significant and substantial approval" from the
