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.

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.

“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,
