LECOCQ Reporter I When the Texas Legislature pro- _ Led state university budget cuts it year, there was concern that the cuts would affect construction on university campuses. But construc tion on tne Texas A&M campus was not affected as evidenced by almost a (to/en projects currently under con struction, says Daniel T. Whitt, assis tant director for facilities planning ahd construction. ■ Some projects have been com pleted and others are scheduled to be completed by July 1980, Whitt ays. I • This month, the physiology re search and conditioning lab will be Bmpleted, Whitt says. The $2.2 mil- Hbn structure, located at the south end of Kyle Field, will have weight Raining facilities that will be used by ||)oth the athletic and physical educa- nn departments. The lab also will Rtuse physical education research, he savs. I • The construction of the track [.and Held events center and the phys- Hcal education and intramural play- Hg fields should be completed this month, but not later than next month, Whitt says. The total project cost for both projects is $3.3 million, he says. • Also to be completed next month is the $6.6 million research park infrastructure, Whitt says. The Tbtal park area is 300 acres, bor dered on the north side by Univer sity Drive and on the west side by the West Bypass. Whitt emphasizes that since tins is an infrastructure, no buildings exist yet. | At this point the project involves landscaping, streets, sidewalks, light ing and utilities. • Scheduled for completion in $$$$S$$$$S$mS$SSSSSS$ expires Nov. 30 $$$H$S$SmSSS$S$SS$$! msc Cepheid Variable C CO-VV Orson ocott Card MON., NOV. 11 7:30 p.m. in 205 msc <Xw taLormad cLcJLcuA4Ca«t, Shown is the frame of the Association of Former Students building at the corner of Jersey and Houston Streets. This building is not being funded by the University March 1986 is the Engineering/Phy sics Building on Spence Street. The $18.8 million project will house the physics department and, in part, the mechanical engineering depart ment. • A new Poultry Science Center, an estimated $4.8 million project, also is scheduled for completion in March 1986. • The Forest Science Building is currently undergoing renovation. The renovation win cost about $500,000 and should be finished by March 1986, Whitt says. • The west campus landscape de velopment, to be finished in May 198o, will cost almost $ 1 million. The project involves improved lighting and landscaping in the area along Welborn Road across from the Albritton Tower and extending back to the Horticulture Forestry Sciences Building. • The new chemistry building on Ross Street will cost almost $18 mil lion and should be finished in luly 1986. “I might add that that’s opti mistic,” Whitt says. • The $5.5 million Ocean Dril ling Program facility will be built in the new research park, Whitt says. Completion of the ouilding is sched uled for July 1986. • Construction recently began on the new Civil Engineering/Texas Transportation Institute building. The $14.8 million project should be finished by Septemoer 1987. At a September meeting of the Texas A&M Board of Regents, a $6.9 million contract was awarded for the construction of a new Physi cal Plant facility. Construction is just beginning on the building to be located on West Campus, Whitt says. This month, Whitt says a contract award will be considered by the re gents for a $2.3 million enlargement of the A.P. Beutel Health Center. A new systems administration building has been designed, Whitt says, but construction has been put on indefinite hold. It was decided that the building, an estimated $7.5 million project, does not have high the priority to justify immediate construction, Whitt says. Plans for a $40 million special events center still are being made, Whitt says. “And that’s the problem,” he says. “That’s a lot of money.” Whitt says some of the Universi ty’s administration have visited schools that are currently building special events centers and some that have recently completed construc tion. “They are looking at design fea tures and comparing the costs of other centers with A&M’s estimate,” he says.
