Among the many improvements, Kidd said, were anew roof, walls, floors, and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Electrical work also was done to many parts of the structure. “The building as a whole is going to be much more comfortable to occupants,” Kidd said.

For their first combined event, the centers are planning an open house from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. today to help increase awareness of the various services available to the Latino community. “It’s a community event,” Balderas said. “We’re inviting community members, government officials, other agencies and anyone who has connection to the Latino community.” Kate Ferrell, the Hispanic coordi nator for IFC, said she anticipates the close proximity of the organizations to be beneficial for area Latinos. “We have all of these agencies under one roof, so it’s like a one stop shop,” she said. “Just the fact wimi $ th ti^ 1 $ (h (I* YYT T T T CASH IN YOUR BOOKS BUYBACK BUIS Saturday, Dec 10 7:3oam to 6:oopm Sunday Dec 11 1:00pm to 6:oopm Mon-Fri, Dec 12-16 7:3oam to 8:00pm Saturday Dec 17 7:3oam to 6:oopm Sunday Dec 18 11:00am to 6:oopm Mon, Dec 19 10:00am to s:3opm BOROS REWABD COUPON -16% OFF ANY SINGLE ITEM IN THE CLOTHING AND GIFTS DEPARTMENT ~"" 11 1 " " "■ i . i UNC STUDENT STORES ule,” Kidd said. “Some of the foun dations were in a little worse condi tion than we expected.” Kapp said the installation of new windows also is causing delays, adding that work “is drag ging along.” The project, which has been going on since November 2004, has been a challenging one, Kidd said. “Inherently, renovating a build ing of that age is difficult.” New East renovators also expe rienced difficulties, especially with the foundation sandstone. “It’s a hard material to manage,” Kapp said. “It’s bom to crumble.” Caruth agreed that the sand stone restoration was one of the more difficult tasks. “In many cases the sandstone had weathered badly, and it took special materials for the contrac tor to use,” he said.

Laura Wenzel, director of Pa’lante, said future events among the organizations still are in the works. “We’re trying to figure out how we can collaborate more closely,” she said. “All of our organizations are members of (Comite de Asuntos Latinos de Orange), and Pa’lante magazine has run announcements and interviews with El Centro, El Futuro and IFC, but we haven’t really done any programming together yet. “We’re working on that now.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
