'U' to renovate East Engineering, UGLI, Randall Lab

by Nate Hurley
Daily Administration Reporter
Three University buildings will
be getting face lifts and implants to
hide their age.
East Engineering will be reno-
vated, the Randall Laboratory ex-
panded, and the Undergraduate
Library (UGLi) both renovated and
expanded.
Construction will begin in the
spring, said Paul Spradlin,
University director of plant
extension.
"The Undergraduate Library, of
course, is being renovated because
we're moving the science libraries
into the building and need more
space. The Randall Lab is simply a
question of the physics department
not having enough space and we
have to add on," he said.
The most controversial renova-
tion is the changes to East
Engineering. LSA will lose 77 of its
classrooms when they are converted
into offices.
Executive Director of University
Relations Walter Harrison said the
renovations were spurred by myriad
complaints from faculty members,
who said they need more and better
offices.
Harrison, who teaches an
English course, agreed that the
office situation is problematic.
"I have an office in the English
department that's abysmal. We're
trying to address those concerns,"
he said.
Spradlin said:
East Engineering will take
about three years to complete at a

cost of $27.5 million;
UGLi renovations will take
15 months and cost more than $11
million; and,
renovations to the Randall
Lab will take 30 months with an
expected cost of $21.4 million.
The renovations will be funded
by gifts and bond sales.
An enclosed bridge will be built
to connect the third floor of the
UGLi to West Engineering.
"We're putting a new front on
the library and getting rid of that
blue glass that many people don't
like. We're giving the architect a
second chance to redeem himself,"
said Donald Riggs, dean of the
University Libraries.
Damon Leverett of Albert Kahn
and Associates, the architect who
designed the original UGLi and its
changes, said the new library will
have a different look than it did
when it was built in 1956.
"I think our design approach on
this building was really one in
which we tried to develop a concept
that is related to architecture to-
day," he said. "Our mission wasn't
to address the good or bad ideas of
the '50s. We had an opportunity to
create a new building. Every part is
enclosed so you don't see the old
building."
Five science libraries will be
blended into a consolidated library
in the UGLi. The Dennison,
Biological Science, Geological
Science, Chemistry and
Mathematics Libraries will be relo-
cated to the UGLi. The Physics
Library has already been moved,

The renovations for the UGLi, slated to start in spring, are depicted in these preliminary plans by Albert Kahn Association Architect firm.

Spradlin said.
Departments will use the va-
cated space from the libraries. For
example, some of the math rooms
in Angell Hall will move into the
East Engineering building, making
room for more LSA classrooms in
1995.
Science departments had mixed
reactions to the library
consolidation.
"Having all the science journals

in one place as opposed to four dif-
ferent libraries is a plus," said
'Geology Prof. Eric Essene. "In
terms of having a cohesive library
in one place, I think there is an ad-
vantage to an inter-disciplinary
person.
He said the new consolidated
science library will be closer to his
department.
"Part of the renovations to the
UGLi will involve a bridge to West

Engineering, so one could walk to it
internally - instead of through the
slush," he said.
Essene noted that one complaint
from the science department was
that there was not much faculty in-
put into the decision to consolidate
the library.
"A benevolent dictator works
more efficiently," he said. "I as-
sume that in the long run, all these

things will be better, but in the short
run, it will be an enormous pain."
Riggs said students shouldn't be
affected by the renovations to the
UGLi.
"We want the Undergraduate
Library to be fully functional dur-
ing the renovation," he said. "We're
expecting the walkway will be com-
pleted in late '94 with the rest of the
library."

Woman reports
children fondled
by babysitter's
husband
An east-side Ann Arbor woman
told the Ann Arbor Police
Department (AAPD) Tuesday that
she suspected her children were be-
ing inappropriately fondled by their
babysitter's husband.
The woman told police a conver-
sation with the babysitter made her
suspicious that something unusual
was happening.
When the woman asked her chil-
dren about any incidents of fondling,
both her seven-year-old and nine-
and-a-half-year-old daughters said
the man had touched them.
AAPD Sgt. Mark Hoornstra said
police have identified the man and
are continuing their investigations.
Hoornstra added that if police ar-
rest the man, he could be charged
with any one of three criminal sexual
conduct charges, one of which
carries a life imprisonment sentence.
Thieves hit jackpot
Oat Chem Building
Construction workers at the
Chemistry Building reported

Tuesday that equipment worth al-
most $15,000 was stolen from that
building, according to the University
Department of Public Safety (DPS).
In all, two personal computers, a
copying machine, two fax machines,
eight mobile radios, a paint gun and
assorted hand tools were taken.
DPS Lt. James Smiley said yes-
terday police officers and construc-
tion workers were still checking the
Police0
Beat
area in an effort to ascertain what
had been stolen.
He said workers often misplace
smaller items, such as radios, mak-
ing it much more difficult to be sure
that such items have actually been
stolen.
Smiley added that officers
checked the area but found no fin-
gerprints, because the area was
covered in dust. Police do not yet
know how the thieves entered the
premises, and had no suspects as of
yesterday afternoon.

CAEN celebrates 10 years of computing

by James Cho
Daily Staff Reporter
Engineering students enjoyed
watching cartoons and "Terminator
2" on an Apple Macintosh Quadra
700 computer which was on display
during the day-long Computer Aided
Engineering Network (CAEN) 10th
anniversary exhibition.
The exhibition presented a retro-
spective look at CAEN, highlighting
past and current software and
hardware resources.
"It illustrates how far computing
has advanced in the past decade in
general and on campus," said
Elizabeth Cox, editor of the
publication CAEN User Services.
The exhibition featured comput-
ers ranging from an original Apple
Lisa 2/10 computer with 512 K ca-
pacity to an Apple Macintosh
Quadra 700 with 8 Megabytes of
memory.
Cox added, "CAEN provides
computer labs, software, and net-
work for engineering students,
faculty and staff."
CAEN was established to foster
an advanced engineering computing
environment for the College of

Engineering.
CAEN distributes software, such
as computer aided design (CAD)
programs, that students cannot nor-
mally afford, said Frank Gulczinski,
an Engineering senior.
Dan Atkins, founder of CAEN
and professor of electrical engineer-
ing and computer science, said CAD
programs allow users to experience
real problems and to incorporate
mechanics and electronics and other
disciplines into their work.
"Without CAEN, we would be
out of business," said Don Geister,
professor of aerospace engineering.
"We use computers all the time. The
network, for example, supports
software to demonstrate flow
simulations. We get a good idea of
the aerodynamics of a wing even
before a wind tunnel test."
Atkins added, "CAEN follows a
hands-on approach to augment the
study and practice of engineering
throughthe use of computers rather
than toys."
CAEN manages 2,000 machines,
7,000 users and supports the largest
concentration of Macintosh comput-
ers outside of Apple headquarters,
added John Bertagnolli, Macintosh
systems coordinator for CAEN.
In the next 10 years, CAEN will
be connected to a network that is
able to support real time access to
video, audio, and computational re-
sources said Randy Frank, director
of CAEN.'
Bertagnolli added, "Systems up-
grades at CAEN occur when it is fi-
nancially feasible and if present
technology cannot support new
software. We want to stay current
and want to offer premiere comput-
ing facilities with as much software
packages as possible."
