Construction
will enhance
campus
By SUZY BUCKLEY, IVETTE M. YEE, LOUIS FLORES,

Of the Staff
Construction crews are a regular sight on campus this week as what were once blueprints start to become reality.
Projects in the works include a new auditorium for the School of Business, a security gate on Stanford Drive, an addition to the Lowe Art Museum and the relocation of the campus radio station.
STORER AUDITORIUM
The School of Business is constructing an addition to the Jenkins Building which will include a 300-seat auditorium and three floors of classrooms.
“The Storer Auditorium is a major expansion to the School of Business," said Sharon Brown, assistant dean for administration and development for the School of Business. “It allows us to bring the entire School together and provides additional facilities for students. It will bring the corporate community to the School of Business.”
Above the auditorium, additional classrooms will be built and used for business lectures.
The auditorium is named after George B. Storer, whose foundation contributed the funding for the project. Storer, the founder of Storer Broadcasting, is a former University of Miami trustee.
“The George B. Storer Foundation contributed all the funding for the construction,” Brown said. “Construction should be com pleted by the fall of 1997.”
Brown said the auditorium will be used by professors who teach large freshman classes or the master's in business administration program. About 300 people register for
these classes every semester. The extra space will also allow the school to host more guest speakers, as well as the COBB Leadership series, a yearly event in which the School of Business brings an outstanding leader from the community to speak to students.
SECURITY GATE
Also under construction is a security gate along Stanford Drive, next to Mahoney Residential College.
A university steering committee decided a year ago that the gate will help increase campus security.
“It is hoped that the installation of these gates, along with the increased customer contact provided by the gatehouse will create both a more user friendly campus as well as a safe and secure parking facility,” said Ron Hill, director of Parking Services.
Once the gatehouse is completed, it will be staffed by parking and transportation service employees by day and a security guard by night.
Hill said that admission through the gate will be limited to residents of Mahoney-Pearson, faculty and staff, and authorized commercial visitors.
The gatehouse attendant will direct visitors to parking and event

locations.
WVUM MOVES
WVUM, the campus radio station, is relocating. The current campus radio station’s studio facilities will soon move to the space adjacent to the Lakeside Copy Center at the south end of the University Center.
WVUM has operated out of a small and cramped room in the upper UC for most of its 28 years.
Damella Dunham, program director for WVUM, said the station’s new office space will now be separated from its on-air and production
studios.
Although the studio space itself will not be larger than it is in the current location, separating the studio and office space will improve WVUM’s working conditions.
“This will put less pressure on the part-time D.J.s,” Dunham said. “They won’t have as many distractions when other people aren't running in and out of the studio while they are trying to go on the air.”
Glenn Richard, general manager of WVUM, said the increased space will be an asset to the station.
“The increased office space will be great," said Richard. “People won’t be falling all over each other trying to get work done. We’ll be mucti more pimiuctivc."
The construction is scheduled to be completed within 90 days, so WVUM expects to move in time for the fall semester.
