Page 20-The Michigan Daily/New Student Edition - Thursday, September 6, 1990 City undergoes rr construction in,, summer by Megan McKenna Daily Staff Writer Ahh... The sounds of spring; bird chirping, crickets whirring, jack- hammers pounding. Construction sites sprang up this spring in Ann Arbor like weeds on campus, leaving big holes and orange fences for stu- dents to ponder. In April construction crews began widening the sidewalks and corners of South University Avenue. Round tree planters, new lights, curbs and drainage systems were installed, along with new gutters. The improvements "will make a nicer environment for shopping," Andy Dryden, president of the South University Merchants Association, said. Though merchants speculated there would be more parking after the renovations, Ruben Bergman co- ordinator of the project for the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) said the amount of parking spaces will remain the same. The DDA is funding the $1,250,000 pro- ject. Construction along South Uni- versity from E. University to Washtenaw Avenue was expected to be completed by the Krull Construc- tion Company in time for the Ann Arbor Art Fair in July, but wasn't finished on schedule. "They (Krull) never thought they'd have the trees done by Art 'time Fair, but they did think they'd have have the paving done," said Nisee Shawl, a member of the South U. Merchants Association. Not only was the paving not fin- ished for Ann Arbor's annual cele- bration, as promised, but Krull also was forced to tear up one side of a block when they learned the survey- ing on the street was done incor- rectly. When Krull's supplier did not de liver paving stones in time, cotn- struction was further delayed. Across campus, Krull was busy replacing a 25-year-old underground steam pipe next to Angell Hall. ' The pipe was filled with asbestos and was replaced with a more durable one, Rich Hoard of the company said. Another construction project stilt underway is the expansion of Ingaljs Mall - the area extending from the steps of Rackham graduate school tg the steps of the Hatcher Library. The project -approved by t 9 University's Board of Regents in. March 1982 - will replace the parks ing lot next to the Natural Scienc4 building with bike racks, planter andt new walkways. A Stonerdesbrough Company construction worker said ' "construction will be done when school starts is September, and if not then, a couple of weeks later." One of the many construction site on campus this summer. Workers dug this hole to replace a steam tunnel pipe that contained asbestos. Also undergoing renovation between May and August were the S. University and Main Street areas and the Ingalls Mall project. Galleria to brighten face of S. University, provide entertainment in its three levels Jennifer Armstrong and Elizabeth Lenhard NSE Contributors The face of South University Street is changing before our eyes. Ann Arborites who have had to search in several stores, and on sev- eral different streets, to find what they need, need search no longer. The South University Galleria is now open, and for most students, is the closest thing to a mall within walking distance. The Galleria is a three level, multi-venued, arcade style complex with a vaulted glass ceiling and easy access from the Church Street park- ing ramp. Shopping, food, and all finds of entertainment are available. Mark Gale, the leasing represen- tative for the Galleria, said, "I'm very excited about the complex. It will attract a diversity of people, wvith wide interests." Seventy percent of the space is leased; three shops are open, and construction is underway on several others. The vaulted glass ceiling creates a bright, airy shopping atmosphere. The campus level, below ground, will house a central commons area including ten food court restaurants, among them: The Cretan Cafe, a Greek restaurant; Mattie D's, a bak- ery; and Cafe Fino, a coffee shop fashioned after the original Berkeley shops of the sixties. The Family Amusement Center, also on the campus level, will be a completely new concept in family entertainment, said Gale. The center will be an arcade, where winners earn tickets that are redeemed for prizes. It's a big leap from the "hangout" atmosphere of the average video ar- cade, he said. The street level houses different shops, includii the already open Afterthoughts, an accessory shop; Tracks, a music store; and the soon to be open Northern Outpost and SportsMania. Perhaps the Galleria's most excit- ing feature is on the upper level. "It will be an entertainment complex, although it is still in the conceptual stages," said Gale. "It is planned to be 13,000 square feet - almost the entire upper level." "It's completely unique to the area, perhaps even Southeast Michi- gan," Gale said. The complex will include a hi.cnergy nightclub, pri- marily for dancing, and a sports bar with an emphasis on games. The bar will offer basketball, up-scale bil- liards, a batting cage, and several big screen televisions for sports view- ing. Gale's purpose is to cater to the largest number of people possible - students, both undergraduates and graduates, professionals, and fami- lies. The result will be a new image for the South University area, he said. i- The Michigan Daily - this is what college was meant to be!!! _, WVELCOME BACK STUDENTS Let's Get Acquainted?
