project based on where the project
is,” Nowak said.
He said the construction in
cludes installation of electric
wires at an extended part of the
building, and those have to be
compatible with those in the exist
ing part of the EMU.
Nowak said the construction not
only includes installing the eleva
tor, but also building new lobby ar
eas on the EMU main, second and
third floors and connecting those
areas to the remaining part of the
EMU. In the future, an extra stop
will be added by the post office in
the lower part of the EMU, he said.
The total construction cost of
the elevator is about $700,000, in
which $330,000 came from the
student incidental fee, which was
approved by students through a
ballot measure in the 1998 ASUO
elections, said Susan Racette,
EMU associate director and busi
ness manager.
Racette said the remaining
amount of money came from dif
ferent sources, including an allo
cation of $200,000 from the Stu
dent Senate in spring 1998;
$100,000 from the Oregon Univer
sity System building fee fund; an
anonymous donation of $50,000;
and $25,000 from the EMU build
ing reserve. She also said the proj
ect originally had the due date of
Oct. 15, and the delay was caused
by the contractor.
The elevator was constructed to
provide access to people with mo
bility impairments. A stair-lift was
installed on the north side of the
building but has been broken for a
few years, causing it to be in viola
tion to the Americans with Disabil
ities Act. The ADA requires all new
structures, facilities and remodel
projects be accessible to the dis
abled. In the case of buildings that
were not accessible before 1990,
the ADA requires alternative
means of accessibility be provided.
Because of the ADA require
ments, the International Lounge is
closed for any formal group events,
and the International Student As
sociation is one of the student
groups that is being affected most.
Ilona Widjojo, ISA program co
ordinator, said the ISA has to
move its weekly coffee hour to
Taylor Lounge on the main level of
the EMU because of the ADA re
quirements.
The ISA “can’t use [the Interna
tional Student Lounge] for any of
our events: the reception, coffee
hour or the informational meeting
or anything considering to the In
ternational Week,” Widjojo said.
ISA co-director Haya Matsumo
to said the elevator will provide
better access to students and facul
ty and hopefully attract more peo
ple to the lounge. The ISA is plan
ning to relocate the weekly coffee
hour back to the Lounge when the
construction of the elevator is com
pleted, Matsumoto said.
“The completion of the elevator
will affect both international [stu
dents] and generally the Universi
ty community in ways that the In
ternational Lounge will be used as
a space for cultural exchange,”
Matsumoto said.
