Why the wall?
Pictures and story by Steve Boerner
Of recent construction projects at
UNL perhaps the wall built at the
western entrance of Teacher's
College is least understood.
it was built early last summer,
said Harley Schrader, physical
plant director, in response to a
directive issued in 1972 by State
Fire Marchall Joe Pluta.
The directive listed specific fire
prevention improvements to be
made on campus buildings. One of
'he items pinpointed was the need
or more fire exits for the Teacher's
College. A fire escape is being put
The wail was built, Schrader said,
to integrate the fire escape to the
building, provide structural sup
port and make it esthetically
pleasing.
Total cost of the project, inclu
ding materials for the fire escape,
was about $20,000, he said.
A totally enclosed stairwell
would have been better, but funds
were not availabe, Schrader added.
"I think it's a very delightful and
pleasing addition to the building,"
tie said, "A satisfying solution to a
sticky problem."
