The skeleton of 2 x 4s and plywood atop the
east end of Autzen Stadium soon will become
the Donald R Barker Stadium Club
The facility, which is designed to be used as
a meeting room for the football team, also will
be used to entertain alumni and other VIPs
before and during football games, says Harold
Babcock, physical plant director
When finished in mid-April, the stadium
club will have one large room that can be
divided into five smaller rooms using
accordian-type room partitions
In addition to meeting facilities, the stadium
club also will house a kitchen, restrooms,
storage areas and an elevator that allows
access to physically handicapped and elderly
people who may have difficulty negotiating
the stairs
The addition should not interfere with
existing seating, Babcock says, adding that
the club "will have a beautiful view of the total
stadium." Visiting VIPs will enjoy a birds-eye
view of the game's action through windows
that allow guests to watch the game in
comfortable surroundings
But use of the facility will not be limited to
athletic department activities. Babcock says
Rather, the facility will be pushed to capacity
by accommodating meetings that would
otherwise take place in the crowded
inner-campus area
Funding for the $660,000 project comes
from money and material donations given
specifically for the stadium club addition, says
Ray Hawk, vice president for administration
and finance
No money was lost from either the
University's general budget or the operating
budget of the athletic department, he says.
Construction of the addition was delayed
during the recent cold-snap that hit Eugene
earlier this term, Hawk says He also noted the
completion date of the project, which began
in mid-September, has been extended from
Feb 15 to April 15.
The 76 x 74 foot structure was designed by
Mention Hanns and associates, and is being
built by Wildish Construction Company —
both of Eugene
The stadium club will be named, upon
completion, in memory of the late Lane
County lumberman, Donald Barker, according
to Curt Simic, vice president of public affairs
Barker, Simic says, was a man with "a great
affection for athletics."
Career fair brings
pros to University
Students and the general
public will have an opportunity
to meet directly with represen
tatives from many different car
eer fields at the University’s
sixth annual Career Exploration
Fair on Feb. 3.
The morning session will
consist of eight panel discus
sions held in the EMU Ballroom
The first four panels, which will
meet from 10-11 am, will focus
on marketing; media and arts;
transportation, hotel and food
occupations; and general ser
vice careers. The second group
of panels, which will meet from
11 a m. to noon, will consider
finance; science and research;
management and personnel;
and education.
From noon to 3 p.m., also in
the EMU Ballroom, participants
will be able to talk informally
with approximately 70 profes
sionals, asking them specific
questions about their jobs or
employing organizations
"We’ve made a special effort
to include representatives from
career areas which have greater
than average employment pro
spects for college graduates of
the 1980s,” says Debbie Cher
eck, career development
specialist with the University's
Career Planning and Placement
Service and the fair's coordina
tor.
“In fact, nearly one-half of the
career fields represented fall
into this category,” she notes
These include energy research
and development, marketing,
computer technology, law,
architecture, public relations
and hospital administration.
The event is jointly sponsored
by the Career Planning and
Placement Service, the Alumni
Association, the ASUO, Alpha
Kappa Psi business fraternity
and the Student University
Relations Council.
Architecture group
helps old dwellings
An architectural design team
of two faculty members and
three students from the Univer
sity architecture and allied arts
school has been chosen to
compete in a national design
competition on saving energy in
historic buildings.
The team is composed of
professors G.Z. Brown and
Donald Peting and students Jeff
Hoover and Kurt Schultz of
Eugene and Tim Richard of
Lebanon. Eight teams have
been selected for the final stage
of the competition.
The challenge of the design
project is to strike a balance
between preserving the historic
building and putting it to new
uses on the one hand and con
serving energy on the other,
Brown explains. Not all energy
conservation methods, for ex
ample, are suitable for historic
buildings
The competition is sponsored
by the National Building Mu
seum, the Association of Col
legiate Schools of Architecture,
the American Institute of Archi
tects, the National Trust for His
toric Preservation and the Na
tional Park Service to advance
the state of the art in conserving
energy in historic buildings
The team chose the Union
Iron Works Turbine Machine
Shop in Alameda, Calif., for its
design project. According to
Brown, new retail, commercial
and residential uses for the
large building will generate
considerable heat in the struc
ture, making cooling a key
problem.
The use of daylighting will be
one important element in their
design, Brown says, because
that allows for reduction in ar
tificial lighting which puts heat
into a building.
