A renovation of the Russell House Theater will highlight a
$1.8 million project expected to be completed during the fall,
according to Thomas Otts, director of Russell House
University Union.
"We're looking at doing some major renovations to the
theater, and it's going to be a very impressive project," Otts
said.
"A study of the air handling system was recently completed
and a new system is now being engineered," Otts said.
"We're also going to take the existing seats out and completely
refurbish them as well as to add some additional seats
to bring the number to over 300.''
OTTS EXPRESSED some concern over the present safety
of the theater. "The way the lighting is now might be a safety
nazard, so we re going to add aisle lights so people won t be
bumping into each other."
With approval by the Capital Planning Committee and
funds from the general renovation fund, Otts said he hopes to
have some improvements completed before the fall.
"Our objective is to have the seating and lighting completed
by the fall and the air handling system finished by
Christmas break."
Other improvements will include new floor tile and carpet,
a new coat of paing and additional soundproofing.
Otts said Russell House renovation plans, which have been
going on for several months, will include improvements to
the cafeteria and bookstore as well.

planning," on the cafeteria, Bass said, noting that plans are
incomplete at this time.
Bass said cafeteria tables and chairs will be replaced and
