N ET Fire sprinkler installation will displace half of Buchanan Towers Julia Means THE WESTERN FRONT Beginning spring 2010, the east wing of Buchanan Towers will be closed for the installation of fire sprinklers, displacing up to 207 students to other residence halls on campus. Currently, Buchanan Towers has an alarm system to alert the residents and staff in the building in the case of a fire, but Western is in the process of setting up a sprinkler system that will stop a fire, said Martin Reed, associate director of facilities in university residences. Students living in the west wing while the east wing is under construction could expect to have no parking spaces in Buchanan Towers' lots, construction noise from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p:m, as well as periodically losing electricity and having no water, Reed said. Students will be warned ahead of time when these instances will occur, Reed said. The level of noise disturbance should not be much different from the construction that happened in Higginson Hall two years ago, said Willy Hart, director of university residences. "We have had multiple projects while students were living on campus and have had very little complaints," Hart said. "Although there will be an impact, it is such as it will not be a big deal." The construction company will be informed of approximate dates for midterms, as well as Dead Week and finals week, Reed said.

Wynn said the building has never been accessible for individuals with disabilities, so the addition of an elevator had been a long-time goal of the Facilities Management staff.

Holly St., about five minutes from Western, on June 1,2009. This is in addition to the 16 former inmates from federal prisons who moved into, a halfway house at 1641 Baker Creek Place on May 1. The housing is designed to keep the inmates from becoming homeless and committing any further offenses after being released, said Wendy Jones, chief corrections deputy with the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office. City Gate is permanent-housing for former inmates who are homeless with mental health issues, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and substance abuse issues, Jones said.. A majority of these inmates have committed misdemeanor offenses, such as criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct, shoplifting and low-level assault. However, about 12 of the inmates moving into City Gate are from prison and considered higher-risk offenders, she said.
