Bowns and Brent Johnson, manager of space planning, safety and risk, are both in charge of space management for the university, and they researched space availability and needs to finalize the location of each department. Funding was given to remodel Old Main, but Bowns said he doesnt expect repairs to begin on the building until spring of 2004. |
