Planning committee rejects Hayward plan By Edith Mallory Ot U*t Emmrukl A proposal to build a three story addition to Hayward Field was rejected Tuesday by the University campus planning committee, but North Campus and West Campus development policies were approved. The rejection came after committee members expressed concern over the design of the proposed building that would entail the loss of existing struc tures north of the University's track and field stadium. The committee also questioned the appropriateness of housing a private business. Athletics West, in University facilities. The motion was rejected until "exploration of explicit alterna tive sites" could be completed and campus impact could be determined. Committee member Al Ur quhart said he felt the proposal generally "ignored the procedure of the Oregon Ex periment” which is a "logical, rational way to change areas of the campus for the best advan tage of the campus.” The committee isn’t sure what the full impact of the addition will be, Urquhart said. The building design involves a total of 19,330 square feet and would be located at the north end of Hayward Field extending north into what are now sidewalk, bicycle path and parking areas. The building was to be funded totally by gift and grant monies, said John Stafford, the architect of the proposed addition. The first floor, with entry only from the track side, would in clude women's and men's dressing rooms for both home and visiting teams and a trainer's room with sauna and equipment. The second floor design in cludes a “hall of honor,” pantry, secretarial reception area, coaches’ offices, dressing rooms and a 2,200 square foot weight training room. The third floor, which was not in the original plan submitted to the committee in the fall of 1981, would house Athletics West on the east side with a separate entry and elevator for the hand icapped up to the second floor and ramps winding from the second floor up the third. Athle tics West would pay rent for the space with the money going for maintenance of the building. Lounges with a view of the track would occupy part of the third floor. One major concern was whether the north-end location was the best for the campus community since it would in volve the loss of a dozen park ing spaces, the bicycle path, part of the street and the view of Skinner's Butte from inside the track. The committe was also wor ried about a shadow that would be cast by the building onto Walton Complex dormitory, but a demonstration of a computer ized television display showed that on Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. the shadow reached only eight feet up the wall of the dormitory complex. Possible locations on the other sides of the field had been studied and rejected, Stafford explained. The west side was rejected because the area was "intensively used as a field house," and the east side stands were rejected because the design would involve columns spaced every 10 to 12 feet. Rick Bay, director of intercol legiate athletics, could not be reached for comment because he was out of town for the week.
