OCTOBER, 1985
Construction continues
on UNCW campus
UNCW continues to expand with
construction projects underway
throughout the campus. Construc
tion has been completed on Resi
dence Hall ’85, has begun on the
expansion of William M. Randall
Library, and is in the planning
stages for the new School of Busi
ness building.
Residence Hall ’85 opened its
doors to students in mid-October.
The $2.5 million facility has three
wings and three floors and can ac
commodate 160 students. The floor
plan is a traditional one, yet offers
more lobby and recreation space,
along with computer rooms on each
floor for use by students with per
sonal computers.
Although construction began in
August 1984, the facility was not
ready for occupancy when students
returned in August 1985 for fall
semester. Students assigned to the
residence hall were housed at the
Quality Inn on South College Road.
A moving crew provided by UNCW
assisted the students in relocating
to the residence hall.
A 5,000-square-foot programming
building for residence life offices is
being built adjacent to Residence
Hall ’85. The targeted completion
date is December, with the build
ing ready for use by the beginning
of spring semester. The new resi
dence hall and programming build
ing are located on F Street behind
the campus apartments.
The eastward expansion of Ran
dall Library began in September to
double the size of the building to
approximately 170,000 square feet.
The building’s exterior appearance
will remain the same, although the
main entrance will be relocated to
the opposite side of the building.
When Randall Library opened
in 1969, it was designed for
200,000 volumes. It currently
houses 240,000 volumes. As the
m
mi
number of volumes grows, the num-
ber of seats for studying dimin-
ishes causing an ongoing challenge
for library staff to make the facili
ty functional in spite of overcrowd
ed conditions.
Upon completion of the new sec- ,,
tion, the original library will be •'}
renovated with a new roof, ceiling,
carpeting, and equipment. The
$7.7 million construction and ren
ovation project is targeted for com
pletion by fall 1987. ^
Due to the library’s location in a
high traffic area, a fence surrounds
the construction to ensure safety of
students, staff, and faculty.

'Seahawk Express,” an eight pas
senger van for on-campus trans
portation.
The free shuttle began operation
in late October and provides stu
dent transport from 6 p.m. to mid
night, Sunday-Thursday, and 6 to
9 p.m. on Friday.
Don Kimball Chevrolet in Wil
mington provided the van as a gift
to the students. The UNCW stu
dent government association is
funding the gasoline and other stu
dent organizations provide drivers.
"The Seahawk Express is the
outcome of one student organiza
tion working with another to bene
fit all students,” said Ken Gilbert,
service project chairman of Alpha
Phi Omega.
The van will travel from the resi
dence halls to the University
Union, Hoggard Hall and Randall
Library in a circular route around
the campus.
Rosenkoetter has been appointed
dean of the UNCW School of Nurs
ing after serving as acting dean for
13 months.
Chancellor William H. Wagoner
announced that Cahill’s title
change reflects his academic duties
for the past two or three years,
especially his supervision of educa
tional and research activities.
"The title of provost will be es
pecially beneficial throughout the
process of establishing this institu
tion as a Comprehensive Level
One university,” Wagoner said.
Cahill served as associate dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences
and director of research at Okla
homa City University prior to join
ing the UNCW faculty in 1971. He
received his undergraduate degree
in chemistry from Oklahoma Bap
tist University and the master of
science and the doctorate in bio
chemistry from the University of
Oklahoma.
Rosenkoetter joined the faculty
of UNCW in 1981 as associate pro
fessor and chairman of the depart
ment of nursing, then an associate
of arts degree granting program.
In July 1984 the School of Nursing
was established and will award its
first bachelor of science degrees in
nursing in 1987.
Rosenkoetter holds a diploma in
nursing from Barnes Hospital
School of Nursing, the bachelor of
arts and master of education de
gree from the University of Mis
souri, the master of science in
