RECONSTRUCTION CONTINUES AS AGED BUILDINGS RECEIVE FACELIFT\nJenny Heyersdorf \n\nWith Hall Auditorium's renovation complete and the restoration of Irvin and Hiestand halls scheduled to be finished this fall. Miami University is preparing to undertake more construction projects.\n\nIn addition to the construction of the Recreational Facilities Center, scheduled to open in the summer of 1994, Miami is planning major renovations of Peabody Hall, Alumni Hall, and Campus Avenue Building.\n\n&quot;We\u2019re in a renovation cycle,\u201d said John Gerbcrick, information systems manager for Miami's Physical Facilities Department.\n\n\u201cWe've had two or three major building cycles, but because of budget constraints. Miami and most state organizations in Ohio are now in a renovation phase.\u201d\n\nThis renovation phase has included the .5 million renovation of Hall Auditorium, the .2 million Irvin Hall project, the renovation of Hiestand Hall, as well as the projects on line for the next couple of years.\n\nThe two most imminent projects, according to Roger Rowe, director of Physical Facilities, are Peabody Hall and CAB. which will both begin in 1994.\n\n\u201cThe total budget for Peabody is six million [dollars],\u201d said Rowe, explaining that .5 million is from the Federal College Facilities loan program and  5 million will be from state or local appropriations.\n\nHe said that although state money for new building has been cut to Ohio universities, capital fuinding, or money for renovations, has remained constant. This funding, combined with federal loans, will pay for Peabody as well as other upcoming projects, Rowe said.\n\nThe restoration of Peabody is more difficult than restorations of other main campus buildings, according to Gerbcrick, because of both the age of Peabody and because of its status as a national historic building.\n\n&quot;We must follow historic preservation guidelines in Peabody.\u201d said Gerbcrick &quot;This is difficult because when you renovate, you are also required by law to bring the building to current safety code standards.\u201d\n\nWhen renovating Peabody, for example, infrastructure changes will be made first \u2014 things like replacing ventilation systems and wiring\n\" class=\"wp-image-862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-276.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0343aa0a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0343aa0a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-1024x576.png\" alt=\"systems, generally making things safer, Gerbcrick said.\n\nThese infrastructure changes will then be augmented by programmatic changes, which are determined both according to the user group's needs and by budget feasibility.\n\nSuch changes have to be made with the necessity of preserving the wood floors and wooden doors in the hall in mind \u2014 not necessarily the best choices for fire prevention, but nonetheless required by law. Gerberick said.\n\nThis system of infrastructure upgrading then programmatic considerations is the one used in all building renovations on campus, Rowe said.\n\nProgrammatically, the renovation of Hall Auditorium included the construction of a 750-seat auditorium and of facilities for the philosophy department.\n\nIrvin was renovated for the foreign language and classics departments.\n\nAdditionally, the University has put in chilled water lines underground to make air conditioning of campus buildings more environmentally and economically efficient.\n\nHall and Irvin will both have air conditioning, as will all the buildings undergoing renovation, said Rowe.\n\nThe amount of construction in the current renovation cycle is \u201ca little more than normal,\u201d said Rowe, who explained that \u201dwe do have a strategic long term plan in terms of building reconstruction.\u201d\n\nHe explained that the University prioritizes buildings based on the amount of money available as well as the recommendations of senior administration, the Committee for Campus Planning and the Office of Fiscal Priorities.\n\nHe noted that the age of the buildings and the programmatic changes requested by the user group are two of the primary considerations in prioritizing buildings for renovation.\n\nPeabody, built in 1871, is one of Miami's oldest buildings, but is far from alone in its antiquity.\n\nFourteen Miami buildings were built in the 1800s. and 50 were built before 1930.\n\nIndeed, virtually all of lhe buildings on Western Campus are listed on the National Historic Register, as are such main campus\n\" class=\"wp-image-863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-277.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0343adee&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0343adee\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-278-1024x576.png\" alt=\"U.

The work will be carried out by five separate contractors from Cincinnati and Dayton and supervised by Miami Physical Facilities, Coleman said.\n\nThe construction is scheduled to be completed by fall 1993, Coleman added.\n\nAssociate Provost Joseph Cox said the changes to the hall include adding air conditioning, heating, and plumbing systems, replacing old windows, upgrading the restrooms by adding handicapped facilities and installing sprinklers.\n\nCox said Irvin was chosen because it was &quot;next in line&quot; for upgrading since the building was built in 1925 and has not undergone any major improvements in its mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems since then.\n\nIrvin was at a &quot;standard that did not meet the standards of the University,&quot; Cox said. &quot;The faculty needed relief.&quot;\n\nProfessor Michael Bachem, chairman of the German, Russian and East Asian Languages Department, said he remembers when the University president and provost were invited to &quot;slosh through&quot; water that filled the basement, where his and other offices were located.\n\nThat\u2019s when they got serious about the changes, Cox said.\n\nBachem said he was \u201cgrateful\u201d and \u201chappy\u201d for the changes that would allow all four of the language departments \u2014 French and Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, Classics and GREAL to be housed in the same building for the first time.\n\nThe changes, however, have not come without sacrifice. Space is very tight and accommodations had to be made not only for the classrooms that would be under construction, but for the department offices as well, Bachem said.\n\nThe GREAL department office has been moved to MacMIllan Hall where a bathroom room serves us a passageway between the secretary and the chair\u2019s office and they store a filing cabinet next to the bathtub.\n\n\" class=\"wp-image-871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-284.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0343cab4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0343cab4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-285-1024x576.png\" alt=\"IRVIN ASBESTOS FREE, RENOVATION BEGINS - Continued\n\nMitchell Greenberg, chair of the French and Italian Department, also looks forward to the improvements over the substandard conditions the faculty formerly worked in.

Include a lecture hall, a film screening room, places for students to sit in the corridors, and a new language lab, Coleman said.\n\nThe plans do not include many frills for the building, but the

RENOVATIONS\n\nOxford \u2014 Irvin Hall has been undergoing construction this year in order to improve usability. Classes and offices usually held there were moved to other locations across campus.\n\nMost noted for being home to the language departments, some offices and classes were temporarily housed in MacMillian, Campus Avenue Building and McGuffey.\n\nIrvin was undergoing intense renovation to improve the usability of the office and classroom facilities, according to Dwight Coleman, project manager. Asbestos also was being removed from the building. It will be ready to open again in the summer of 1993, at an estimated cost of  million.\n\n&quot;I think it was a wise expenditure of state-funded money to renovate both Hall and Irvin since there is a shortage of classrooms available as well as professors having their offices moved,&quot; sophomore Katie Voitlein said.\n\n&quot;I think it is fine for them to renovate the building. I think we should be more informed of what they are doing so we know how our money is being spent,&quot; sophomore Jen Smith said.\n- - - ROBIN SKOV\" class=\"wp-image-881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-294.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0343f2c8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0343f2c8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-295-1024x576.png\" alt=\"A NEW VIEW\n\nA view of Kreger Hall from recently renovated Irvin Hall.
