The renovation project will also focus onpreserving University Hall's crown glass windows,which are produced by an antique process thatleaves easily recognizable concentric ripples ineach pane.

"It's considered a building that has one of themost significant extant collections of crown glassanywhere," Zewinski said.

New storm windows will also be added.

Knowles and Nancy L. Maull, administrative deanof FAS, will be responsible for the details of theproject. No Faculty committees have to approve therenovations because, unlike other renovations,they will not affect space for academicdepartments.

One of the biggest issues facing the project isa logistical one--where to put displacedUniversity Hall employees.
