Show JTur. DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Wednesday, August 27, 2008 TANNER continued from Page 1 "The (history) department now has nice seminar and conference rooms, and it's so much easier to park," he said. "Parking in the back is much more convenient than the football stadium or, heaven forbid, parking behind Carlson (Hall)." However, von Sivers said office space is much smaller than a lot of faculty in the history department are used to. "Carlson Hall was always very isolated, but we used to have closets and lots of space," he said. Glenn Olsen, a medieval history professor, said he is also disappointed with his new office space, but understands why it's smaller. "The university has to build to certain regulations and (Carlson Hall) was built before those regulations," he said. "The new offices are only half the size of our old ones, which used to be dorms for women." Olsen said he does like the location, but misses the old building's charm and appeal. Von Sivers also said he was surprised with how the architectural design turned out. "I'm not opposed to modern buildings—they're physically more convenient," he said. "But this building is not at all attractive in terms of its shape and the building materials, though once you step inside the atrium it is very nice." The new building was designed with three different types of brick and concrete on the exterior. The building also comes with an outdoor meditative labyrinth and the Lorna Matheson Memorial Gardens. Camp said the building will also be environmentally friendly. "A lot of attention was paid to how light works in the building," she said. "(There will be) tons of natural light with windows from floor to ceiling in all of those public spaces." Faculty and students will be FIRE able to buy food in the building from the first floor cafe owned by Tony Caputo, who also owns the Tony Caputo's Market and Deli downtown. Contractors have placed artwork from nationally renowned artist Pilar Pobil and other artists throughout the building. Camp said they will be adding a glass mobile art piece that will hang from the second story. Finishing touches are still being added to the building and construction workers will continue to check air conditioning systems and electrical work for another few weeks. The department of economics will be moving into the vacated office space in OSH sometime in the spring or summer of 2009, said Bruce Gillars, director of central campus space planning. Gillars said they have not yet decided what will happen to Carlson Hall. l.groves@ chronicle.utah.edu www.dailyutahchronicle.com/syndication continued from Page 1 The more you buy the more you save off $85 order off $125 order Use source code CPUMOOW effective thru 9/27/08 —$200 ship free! tionally good over the past few years about putting out campfires, not using fireworks and doing everything that they are supposed to do," said Pollock. "Whenever you have wildland that bumps up against what we call the wildland-human interface, it can increase the firestarts." Until the fire is contained, the Forest Service asks that individuals in the area avoid the canyon when possible for their own safety as well as that of the fire fighters. i.bravo@ chronicle.utah.edu www.DickBlick.com [JAY ONLY • Wednesday, August 27th, 9PM Use coupon CPUMOOW in Source Code Box Text "Blick" to 33669 to save coupon details Order by Phone (866) 613-3715 chronicle.com 8/27 Tryout cost* $25 SALTLAKtCTTV '.'Tir, VTT ./*•..; There are student groups and there is The MUSS, the U's famed student fan club.
