for academic affairs, to meet a variety of university needs, among
them an ongoing need to improve salaries and benefits. Full

The Asian American Studies house makes its way down Nevada street
toward its new site at 1208 W. Nevada, formerly lot D-13. The house
is making room for the new Child Development Lab Annex, which will
encompass 1003 and 1005 W. Nevada. The School of Music annex building
at 1005 W. Nevada will be torn down and staff relocated to 909 W.
Oregon.
Workers from Peter’s House Movers of Farmer City, Ill., moved
the house. "We didn’t have any other place to move the
Asian American Studies program," said Steve Hesselschwerdt,
assistant director in the Office of Project Planning and Facility
Management. "So it was actually cheaper to move that building
than to build a new one. Not to mention, it’s a very nice old
house with stained glass."
The house will undergo some renovation associated with the move
and an annex will be added to the back of the house to replace the
space lost from not having a basement at the new site. If all goes
as planned the house should be ready for staff members to move back
in by early fall, Hesselschwerdt said.
According to Sharon Lee, staff associate for Asian American Studies,
10 to 12 people regularly use the building, including four full-time
staff members, faculty members and undergraduate interns. In addition,
the program hosts monthly events on site. |
