2 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 Science facilities slated for completion next fall Complex mostly will house labs BY CUNT JOHNSON STAFF WRITER Science students soon will no longer have to weave through the maze of corridors in Venable Hall. Starting in Fall 2006, the science departments will move into new facilities. Science Complex Phase I, an SB7 million project, is being built in Polk Place South next to Wilson Library. CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION SPOTtISw ON: SCIENCfCGWPLEX So far, construction has pro gressed on schedule, said Ed Short, the projects manager. “Right now we’re about 70 per cent complete,” he said. “It’s pretty far along.” Better Ingredients.

Thurs-Sat 10am-3am 932-7575 Sunday llam-lam Science Complex Phase I will include an addition to Phillips Hall and anew building Wilson-Dey Hall. The new facility will consist almost entirely of laboratories, while the addition to Phillips will include classrooms, lecture halls, and marine sciences and physics laboratories and offices. Short said classrooms in the Phillips addition should be avail able next fall. In all, five departments stand to gain new facilities. Chemistry is one of the depart ments set to benefit from the project. “They’ll be wonderful,” said John Beres, director of research labs for the chemistry department. “The level of safety and the qual ity of the building are tremendous upgrades.” The marine sciences department also will receive new labs. “We’re going from a fairly dys functional building (Venable Hall) to a state-of-the-art building,” said Dan Albert, a marine sciences research professor. Albert said some of the older faculty members originally were promised anew building in 1972. “We’re happy to be moving,” he said. Preparations are being made for the move, which Albert said is scheduled “right on top” of the start of the fall semester. In preparation, UNC hired Quantus, a business that helps with large-scale moves, to take care of logistics. Space has been set aside for a fluid laboratory in the Phillips addition. But the laboratory, which will be used by the marine sciences and mathematics departments, will not be available in the fall. “We’re currently looking for funds to make it operational,” said Patrick Eberlein, chairman of the mathematics department. Funding for the project was left out of the original plans, he said. This is the first of two phases in the construction of the $lB7 mil lion Science Complex. In Phase 11, Kenan Laboratory will be reno vated, an addition will be built for Sitterson Hall, anew science build ing will be constructed and Venable Hall will be demolished. In 2000, a statewide referendum passed, providing the University with SSOO million for construction and renovation projects. The Master Plan, approved in 2001 by the UNC Board of Trustees, laid out the plans for construction. Construction on the science complex began in Fall 2002 and is expected to be completed by the end of the decade.

Tzendzalian, DDS Q: Am I less likely to have in dental problems as an adult B M than when I was younger? HUE fli A: Unfortunately, the possibility of having dental problems doesn’t nec essarily diminish as we age. Although the baby boomer generation has benefited from water fluorldaUon programs and fluoride tooth paste, problems still occur. Gum disease, for instance, remains a problem for adults. Seventy-five percent of American adults have some form of gum disease, and 14% between 45 to 54 years old have severe gum disease. Signs and symptoms from soft-tissue diseases like cold sores are common in adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, almost 20 percent of adults between 25 and 44 years old are affected by soft-Ussue aliments. Every year more than 400,000 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are afflicted with oral problems: for example, painful mouth ulcers, loss of taste and dry mouth as a result of malfunctioning salivary glands. The CDC reports that employed adults lose more than 164 million hours of work each year because of oral health problems. So the message Is: keep brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist regularly. Don’t sit back and wait for problems to happen.
