THE WESTERN FRONT VOL. 79, NO. 36 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM WA JULY 9, 1987 Science building outmoded Haggard hazards prompt proposal by Don Grandstrom- Front staff Haggard Hall, Western's chemistry, biology and science education building, needs to be replaced according to a study done by a nationally-recognized science and health facilities consulting firm. As a result of the findings the Board of Trustees authorized the President to begin an architect-selection process for design of new science facilities at its June meeting. Haggard Hall was.built in 1960 to 1950s specifications when enrollment was 3,200. Now, with an enrollment of more than 8,000, Western's science program needs 40 percent more teaching and research space, according to the study, completed last year by Earl Walls Associates of San Diego. The building's concrete structure and immovable walls would be too expensive to remodel, according to the study. Instead, it proposes to use the building for library or classroom space. Campus Safety Officer Jose R. Harrison said the age and design of the building are also creating safety problems. Adequate hood ventilation for combustible chemical odors and an upgraded fire protection system are needed. Ventilation does not meet today's code, and an acute lack of storage for hazardous chemicals exists, he said. Thirty-eight million dollars may be needed to build, remodel and equip new science facilities, according to the study. An architectural firm will analyze the most cost-effective manner to design the needed facilities. The firm s e l e c t e d will be responsible for the entire project design from start to finish. The architectural consulting services will be divided into three phases. First, the firm will analyze the study by Earl Walls Associates, develop floor plans and estimate costs for construction. Then it will help Western gain approval from the Washington State Director of Financial Management to proceed with design work. These first two phases will be funded through Western's 1987-89 capital budget appropriation and will cost a maximum of $100,000. Finally, the firm will design the facilities and prepare bids. The Washington State 1987 Ap- . propriations Act has authorized Western to spend up to $1,200,000 for this phase. Don Cole, Western's administrator of business and financial affairs, said the Board of Trustees will probably decide on the selection of an architectural firm at its October meeting. Minor improvements make major workload by Pam Floyd Front staff Minor capital improvements and repairs are a major part of the summer cleanup work done at Western. The work is estimated to cost $960,000 this fiscal year. Dan Perry, director of the maintenance-custodial program, said this amount is based on last year's budget. "We've sent the Physical Plant our estimates, but have not received any money to start the repairs and remodeling yet," he said. Minor capital improvements cost $186,000, while repairs and replacements are budgeted at $774,000, accounts officer Roger Oettli said. Perry said the department is remodeling Ridgeway Kappa at a cost of $150,000. " O n e hall is completely remodeled every summer. The carpenters repair all the woodwork. The painters repaint everything and stain the woodwork. Floors are replaced. Damages are repaired and small things, such as faucet washers are replaced. Roofers inspect and replace damaged parts of the roof and shutters," Perry said. In the Viking and Ridgeway Commons dining halls, new steam cookers are being installed at an see REPAIRS, p. 2 ^liiif|ftlilililiim 1111~11~1'11l lilllSI speak about her brother's work, life and death in Nicaragua. Benjamin Under Math professor dies after surgery by Don Grandstrom Front staff Paul T. Rygg, 63, professor of mathematics, died Monday at Providence Medical Center in Seattle from complications following open-heart surgery. He began teaching at Western in September 1962. Dr. John Reay of the mathematics department said," I'll miss Paul both as a coworker and friend outside of the campus community. Rygg was an avid out-doorsman. Running and playing tennis were among his favorite activities. In November 1977 Rygg was selected by the National Science Foundation to participate in a Chautaugua Short Course at the Oregon Graduate Center in Beaverton, Oregon, training college and university professors in specialized areas of mathematics. Rygg's special interests in math included number theory and discrete geometries. He began the summer quarter teaching a math computer science course. Mike Boardman, a recent masters graduate, took over Rygg's class assignment. "Rygg was an all-around great guy with a wonderful sense of humor," Boardman said. Rygg was as active member of St. John's Lutheran Church. Survivors include his wife, Irene, of Bellingham; a son, Peter, of Everett; and a daughter, Jane, of Seattle.
