NU Construction Coordinator
Engineer takes post
By Chuck Beck
A former army civil engineer, Robert J. Pazderka, is
now working in a new administrative post as NU Capital
Construction Coordinator (CCC).
Pazderka was chairman of Military Science at UNI
for three years before l:-r j approved as CCC by the
NU Board of Regents last summer. The West Point
graduate has three main duties to- fulfill in the
administrative post, which was created last summer, he
said.
Pazderka said his first duty is to coordinate a budget
for submission to the regents for construction and
renovation of buildings at UNL, the University of
Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska
Medical Center. He has recommended priorities for 37
building projects for 1975-76 to the regents, he said.
His second duty is to prepare an annual report of
construction at the three campuses, Pazderka said.
"The CCC must look at building space to make sure
there's no duplication of facilities," he said.
His third duty is to "standardize the aspects around
which architects must design buildings for the three
campuses,'' Pazderka said. He said standardizing
building facades for each campus was an example of
determining building design criteria.
"Setting standards"
"We aren't inhibiting the architect's creativity, but
setting standards to provide a central core of beauty
and usefulness for campus buildings," Pazderka said. '
The CCC also negotiates architects' contracts foi
University building projects and coordinates land
acquisition for the three campuses, he said.
"It appears possible 1 hat the University car? save
money because building construction and remodeling
projects are coordinated through the CCC for all true
campuses," Pazderka said.
Before establishing the CCC, the assistant vice
president for budget and finance coordinated capital
construction funding in the University system. Because
of the "need for justification of the amount of money
spent" and the administration of the $50 million capital
construction plan, the CCC was established, he said.
Pazderka said the University operates on a six-year,
construction projection and a 24-year plan based on
projections of enrollment and what facilities are
needed.
Decline not affecting planning
The enrollment decline piedicted by a recent
legislative study has net materially affected advanced
construction planning, Pazderka said. He indicated that
a. levt!ing-off fn enrollment was predicted for' UNL in
1966,. according to a studdone for the University.
I "The University's 'average enrollment decline is less
than the national average and is actually increasing in
comparison to the national trend," he said.
Pazderka was a colonel in the Army Corps of
Engineers where he spent 10 years in engineering
planning. He applied for the CCC post to pursue
engineering planning, he said.
Pazderka received a science degree with'a minor in
civil engineering from West Point and a bachelor's
degree from Iowa State University. He received his
master's degree from Purdue University.
