CBA construction plan
falls behind schedule

Senior Reporter
The workers’ tools are clanging
away, but students attending classes
in the College of Business Admini
stration building this year will see
few improvements, an official said.
Bob Carpenter, campus architect,
said about 20 per
cent of the
$6,730,900 CBA
project had been
completed.
Carpenter said
CONSTRUCTION i*1?. prp£t,1had
fallen behind its
original schedule because of new
inspection techniques and some work
that needed to be redone.
The project includes a 45,000
square-foot addition to the east side
of the building and vast remodeling
of the original building, he said.
The construction of the addition,
which began in December 1991, will
cost S4.3 million. Carpenter said he
expected the addition to be ready for
students by July 1993.
New classrooms, a student lounge
area, faculty offices and conference
and seminar rooms will be the high
lights of the addition, he said.
The remodeling portion of the
project will include additional light
ing and a new mechanical system,
and reconfiguring space in the origi
nal building. Carpenter said he ex
pected the remodeling to be finished
by August 1994.
Accommodating classes during
construction is one problem that has
arisen, he said. Some classes have
been moved into other buildings until
construction is completed.
But Carpenter said he hoped both
the construction work and the classes
could run together smoothly this year.
“We have to keep the process
going,” he said.

Beadle Center officials
wrap up minor details
By Dionne Searcey
Senior Editor
Scientists planning one of the most
technologically advanced research
centers in Nebraska arc hammering
out the minor details of the new facil
ity.
Donald Weeks, director of the UNL
Sf Center for Bio
^ technology, said
ft - construction was
under way on the
George W. Beadle
UNL Center for Genet
CONSTRUCTION K,s Biomatcri
als Research.
Officials arc choosing ceramic tiles
for the floors and deciding whether
filastic or steel should be used for
aboratory benches. Scientists arc
designing a greenhouse south of the
center and weighing the cost of air
conditioning systems.
“These arc the kinds of details and
questions being answered now,” Weeks
said. “The major questions arc an
swered.”
The Beadle Center, 19th and Vine
streets, will combine the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln biochemistry and
chemical engineering departments and
the Center (or Biotechnology.
Faculty and students from those
departments will be able to work
together on research projects and have
classes in one building.
In July, the NU Board of Regents
and university officials approved a
$ 19-million contract for construction
on the center, which began July 6.
The $31.3-million project received
funds from several groups, Weeks
said.
More than $21.9 million came from
federal funds, and state funds totalled
$6.5 million. The university contrib
uted $897,545.
Theresa Klein, director of public
relations and publications for the
University of Nebraska Foundation,
said UNL alumni and Friends of the
University have committed to donat
ing $2 million to help offset the cen
ter’s construction costs.
So far, the foundation has raised
one-third of the money, she said.
Weeks said budget cuts did not
downsize the project, but initial plans
were scaled down before they were
submitted to be reviewed for funding.
“Once the plans were decided upon,
that’s the building we went forward
with, and that’s the building we’re
going to build,” he said.
Weeks said the center should be
finished in early fall 1994 as sched
uled.

GM Underwriters
Student Health and Accident Insurance
University Health Center and GM Underwriters are working together to offer a medi
cal plan designed to meet the needs of most of our student population, graduate or under
graduate. Our goal is to provide the best medical care available as economically as
possible. We have tried to keep the premiums affordable, and when used in conjunction
with the Health Center fees, there are many services provided to students at no charge.
Student Insurance Enrollment Dates
8/24/92 - 9/24/92
The student is required to seek treatment at University Health Center whenever possible.
To effectively utilize this policy, the Health Center fee of $75.57 per semester must be
paid. This can be done automatically with tuition, or separately at the Health Center,
depending on number of credit hours you are taking.
In an emergency, or if a referral has been obtained to be seen outside the Health Center,
most charges are paid at 80% of usual and customary rates, and there is a deductible of
$150.00 (which is paid by you).
We are offering this year a Preferred Provider Discount which can eliminate the pay
ment of deductible, and increase the insurance co-payment to 85% of usual and customary
rates. The Preferred Provider Discount only applies to the student.
Dependent Coverage
Dependent coverage is available, however your dependents may not be seen at univer
sity Health Center. This policy is designed to help off-set the cost of major medical care
ana hospitalizations. It does not cover routine physicals, dental care or prescriptions.
Remember: Open Enrollment is from 8/24/92- 9/24/92
Open enrollment is from 8/24/92 through 9/24/92. After this date enrollment will not
be possible again until 2nd semester begins. The only exceptions to this will be a change
in student orTamily status. Your current policy will offer continuous coverage if re
newed by 9H/92.
