Office tower, lab facilities next north campus additio By ED CASSAVOY Staff Writer The rumble of construction equipment continues unabated on the Texas A&M campus. One such project now under construction is the Civil Engineering/Texas Trans portation Institute/Engineering De sign Graphics Complex. The long name of the new facility mirrors the equally large cost of building the complex — $14,776,000, says Dan White, assis tant director of the Facilities Plan ning and Construction Department. The 3DI architect firm of Hous ton has drawn the plans for an eight- story tower and a four-story lab building connected to the tower with a walk way bridge, White says. He says the H.B. Zachry construc tion company is handling the actual building of the complex. The planned completion date for the complex is Sept. 1987. Charles R. Caffee, a project man- Model of the $14,776,000 Civil Eln^ineering/Texas Transpore- Institute/Engineering Design Graphics Complex. ager for planning facilities, says four tenants planning to there are four tenants planning move into the new complex, located on Spence Street across from the new Engineering/Physics building — IT I, the Food Services Department, the Civil Engineering Department and the Engineering Design Graph ics Department. “The TTI (Texas Transportation Institute) is moving out of the Blocker Building — mostly their ad ministrative offices are moving to the complex,” Caffee says. “Food Services is opening a fast food-type operation, with a dining area. “The problem was that they (Food Services) didn’t have any food serv ices in this part (the north side) of the campus. The Food Services Department contributed $1,105,000 for the con struction of the cafeteria, White says. Caffee says the eight-story tower will house the Food Services cafete ria on the first floor. Civil engi neering offices will occupy the sec ond floor, with the remaining floors filled by the TTI offices, he says. The adjoining four-story building will house laboratory facilities for civil engineering (first two floors) and the engineering design graphics labs, Caffee says. The two buildings will be connected by a covered “brid ge” similar to the one used to con nect the new Engineering/Physics Building. “The tower will look pretty nice,” Caffee says, “and it will oe ver ‘P- neering/Physics Building. It will be quite imposing.” Caffee says the new laboratories will supplement the existing engi neering labs already in use. He also says the Engineering Design Graph ics Department has been consol idated into the Civil Engineering De partment and will move its entire operation into the new complex. Caffee says the four-story build ing will house both research and tea ching labs for the combined depart ment. cause few if any existing ar once t places will disappe plex is completed, la very simi- “The total plan was to help in the circulation between the different buildings in that area,” CafTee says. “The students and faculty will be able to go a long way on the second floors (of the different buildings).” He says the tower will also be linked by a walk-way bridge to the McNew Engineering Lab located di rectly behind the tower. One factor that contributed to the two-building design of the CE/I I I complex was the handling of the electrical systems located in the con struction area, Caffee says. “Basically a main electrical duct line runs right between the two buildings (under the connecting bridge),” Caffee says, “and with all the Tines in the area it just made more sense doing it this way."

Court rejects appeals, upholds death sentences in three cases Associated Press AUSTIN — A trio of death sen tences were upheld Wednesday by the Texas Court of Criminal Ap peals, including the conviction of a Houston man who a witness said later laughed about the crime. In that case, the judges rejected the appeal of Lawrence Lee Buxton, convicted of shooting Joel Slotnik in the neck as he held his 5-year-old son during a grocery store robbery. The court also affirmed the con viction of a Bexar County man for the beating and stabbing of a man during a 1979 robbery in which the victim’s date was repeatedly raped, and of a man given the death pen alty in the stabbing of a Corpus Christi tavern owner. Buxton was convicted in the Sept. 19, 1980, shooting of Slotnik, wno died four days later. The shooting occurred as the Slot- niks and a second family were re turning home from Yom Kippur services and stopped at the grocery. Slotnik, his son Aaron and a woman entered the store, stumbling upon a robbery in progress. Three masked men, two brandishing guns, ordered them to “hit the deck.” As a store employee handed over cash, one gunman turned to Slotnik, who was seated on the floor his son, who was standing. “You better get that kid the gunman said. He then fill pistol, hitting Slotnik in thened As the robbers left the stoitl man who fired the shot r his ski mask. Two witnesses Tied that man as Buxton.
