Photo by Sarah Jolly/STAFF The Apodaca Science Builiding construction site near Hunter Library Andrew Norman Junior Editor In recent years, Western Carolina University has become the number one pick of more and more incoming freshmen, thanks in no small part to the NC Promise Legislation, which lowered tuition to a mere $500. Consequently, Western Carolinas campus has had to grow to meet the needs of its students. Several big constructions projects are happening on campus, with more slated to come in the following semesters. One of the primary necessities for a campus when its student popula- tion begins to increase is being able to provide housing for these students. Western Carolina has experienced trouble in the past semesters with being able to suitably house all its students in time for the se- mesters start, but with the new Lavern Hamlin Allen Residence Hall currently in construction on the upper half of campus and plans to tear down lower class- men dorms Scott Hall and Walker Hall and rebuild in their place, tentatively slated to begin at the close of the 2020 Spring semes- ter, the school has adequate plans to mitigate this issue moving forward. The Allen Residence Hall, located between Harrill and Judaculla Residence Halls, started construction at the end of the 2018 Spring semester where a residence parking lot was formerly located. It is expected to be complete in time for the 2019 Fall semester and will house ap- proximately 600 students. In addition to the cur- rent construction of the Allen Residence Hall and the future rebuilding where Scott and Walker Residence Halls currently stand, Western Carolina has plans to construct an eight-building student resi- dence complex on the West Campus across Hwy 107 close to where the Health and Human Sciences Build- ing stands. This project is tentatively planned to be complete by the Fall of 2020. In addition to residence halls, Western Carolina is also working on expanding their academic buildings. The construction of the new Tom Apodaca Science Building began during the 2018 Spring semester and is scheduled to be completed in January of 2022. This newer building will provide students in the science, technology, engi- neering and mathematics (STEM) fields better facili- ties in which to operate as well as providing newer and up-to-date lab equip- ment. The building will also include a steam micro- plant which will be able to support up to four univer- sity buildings, taking a load off the older steam plant across from the library. As the student popula- tion has grown, so too has the demand for parking. Due to the rise in construc- tion projects, several park- ~ ing lots have been closed to either make way for future buildings or to store construction equipment. However, Western Caro- lina has plans to construct the schools first-ever park- ing deck. Unfortunately, snag. Scheduled to begi the end of the 201 Fall semester, the parking deck project, which will be built in the existing lot between the Ramsey Activity Center and the Hennon Baseball Stadium, was unable to begin due to an unrealistic timeline. ww this project has hit a bit ofa www.thewesterncarolinian.com dates Dam Report Photo by Sarah Jolly/STAFF Photo by Sarah Jolly/STAFF One of the new gravel lots near Norton Hall As our planned start date approached, we were unprepared to begin work but we also were learning that the eight-month con- struction schedule would only work under absolutely perfect conditions, said Mike Byers, Western Caro- linas vice chancellor for administration and finance, in an article from Western Carolinas official news source. The updated timeline lists the parking deck construction will begin in May of 2020 and will be complete by April of 2021. In addition to the parking deck, three other parking lots are either in the works or ready for use. The first, which opened mid-Febru- Photo submitted by Kaleb Lynch Dlivia Payne Managing Editor The Cullowhee Dam was | built in 1930 and no longer ' generates electricity, but it | generates a pool that provides | water to thousands in the " surrounding areas. In July : 2017, a report was released. by McGill & Associates that recommended a list of options, one of which included making $900,000 in repairs to the Cullowhee dam. American Rivers, a partnering non-prof- it, Western Carolina Univer- sity and Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority requested that McGill & Associates go back and determine if the dam was removable without endangering water supply : to the surrounding areas of : Dillsboro, Webster, Sylva and | Jackson County. In January, The Sylva Herald requested access to the second report McGill & As- sociates wrote in regard to the dam. After several requests were made, both Western Carolina University and the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority concealed the docu- ments disclosure. Both parties claimed that since a non-profit paid for the report, it was a not-for-distribution draft and therefore not for public con- sumption. The Herald claims that Western Carolina and the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority ran counter to state transparency require- ments. The Heralds General Manager Quentin Ellison said Western Carolina has left them with no option. If a government institution is determined to withhold public records, there comes a time when words must be backed with actions. The N.C. Press Western Carolina lawyer Shea Browning released a tatement to the Sylva Herald after telling the Herald the university needed two more weeks after the written request : on Feb. 12. They needed more : ary, is a temporary gravel lot located on Norton Road above Norton Residence Hall. The second will be an ex- tension to the overflow lot on Little Savannah Road across from the Health and Human Sciences Building. 149 spaces are expected to be available at the end of March and an additional aquatic ifie and Fishe Vol. XX, No. X * FREE time to d if the docu- ment could be released as a public record. WCU strives to be a good neighbor and partner, and we believed that the premature disclosure of information that had not been reviewed suf- ficiently could potentially un- dermine the efforts of many to create a free-flowing river and ensure a high-quality supply of water to meet current and fu- ture needs of the community. Iam confident that the request period of two weeks to reply to the public records request met both the letter and the spirit of the law, said Browning. The request was relayed to Western Carolina Chief Communications Officer Bill Studenc and informed the Herald it would be March 4 before their public records request would be considered. He says that the N.C. Public Records Law states that public bodies are required to respond to requests for public records as promptly as possible but the law does not state what constitutes as prompt. Mar- tin states that while there is not a specific time frame, they are obligated to release the docu- ment as promptly as possible. The 23-page engineering report consisted of a study from McGill & Associates regarding the removal of the Cullowhee Dam. The cost of the project is estimated at $5 million. Engineers state that not doing anything about the dam is not a viable option due to the 3-foot wide by 1.5-foot opening underneath where the dam has been undercut. In addition, nature has taken its course and erosion alongside one of the dams walls could eventually trigger the slide of an overhead slope.. This could potentialh er, a portion The report will also deter- mine if removing it is an option because it supplies water to all surrounding areas. 89 spaces are expected to be available by early May. The third will be located on Central Drive in front of Judaculla Residence Hall and will add an extra 423 parking spaces and is ex- pected to be complete and available for use by the 2019 Fall semester in conjunc- tion with the opening of the new Allen Residence Hall.
