Complex mostly
will house labs

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

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.

Smile with Dr. T FVH

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.
