struction was, taken in October,
1972, he said...': . -A';- '' ;
The f ioidhouSs Is behind Its
construction schedule because of a
legislative bill and resolution
ordering the plans to be altered,
Schrader said. The fleldhousa was
originally scheduled to ba. com
pleted in December but now p'ans
are to have it done in time for the
Nebraska State , Fair in August
1975. -a 'A '

Removing concrete from a power

Sciences building,, Schrader. said.-
Excavation' for-tha bulldli&';taK,.
.p'jve bsen completed by October.
Schrader said contracts to begin
. leal, general and exterior wall
! :ontrc!Qrs-?,hav not. been let,
pending Governor J. James Exon's
approval of the project.
Other construction projects on
both East and City Campuses are
on schedule, Schrader said.
The $1,391 ,000 Barkley Center
' on East Campus, which wili house
. teaching, research and clinical
facilities for people with hearing
and speech defects and other
general services for handicapped
people, was started in mid-September
and is projected to be done
In December 1975, he said. Con
struction for it is on schedule,
Schrader said;
Construction 'on schedule'
Construction on the East Cam
pus Recreational facility is sched
uled to be done in November,
Schrader said. The facility will
contain basketball and tennis
courts and other recreational facili
ties. It is funded by student fees.
v Another buildingon East Cam
pus, the Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratory (VDL) is on schedule
and could be done at the end of
1975, Schrader said. He said the
VDL is ohe of three veterinary
science buildings to provide re
search facilities for animal health
research.
i Schrader said $1.2 million has!
he ah !inr.stfid for tho buildina of
the VDL this year, and $8 million
has been allocated for all three
animal health research facilities
through 1977.
: -'Delayed' projects
Besides building construction,
the Physical Plant Administration
(PPA) continues to complete "de
layed construction" projects such
as "rectifying fire safety regula
tions," Schrader said. He' said the
PPA knew about fire; safety
deficiencies around UNL before the
State Fire. Marshal ordered fire
regulations to be met, but lack'of
funds delayed construction which
would have upgraded fire safety
projects'in campus buildings.
Schrader said $1 .1 million has
been requested for next year,
specifically to meet fire safety
regulations under delayed con
struction projects. -
Schrader said he could not
determine the yearly amount of
money allocated to . the Physical
Plant office for construction.. He
said the University Administration
makes six-year capital construction
. requests for UNL, UNO and the
Medical Center, which are submit
ted to the Legislature. Funds are
received - in .terms of a project's ,
priority, Schrsder.said:. : v ":
