Originally, constructed in 1904 as the training facility for the U.S. men's Olympic team, the University of Chicago's Bartlett Hall, a neo-Gothic limestone structure in the heart of the campus, last year was transformed into a 550-seat student dining hall.
The $15.5 million adaptive reuse project "had to compete for resources and attention" with three glamour projects on campus, according to Curt Heuring, university architect. They were: a new $52 million athletic center designed by Cesar Pelli, with Chicago's OWP&P; a $54 million dormitory from Ricardo Legorreta, which opened last year; and a new graduate school of business designed by Raphael Vinoly, scheduled to open next fall.
"The sensitivity with which the renovation was done was terrific," says Heuring. "You have these large projects by Legorreta, Pelli, and Vinoly, and this little renovation project has stolen some of the limelight because it was done so well. It's a credit to the skills of the architect and the entire team."
The project, designed by Bruner/Cott & Associates, Cambridge, Mass., was conceived as part of the university master plan, which called for more student housing in the heart of campus, as well as additional athletic facilities+ "The pool facilities, among other things, were outdated," says Heuring. "We were building the new dormitory on campus, but the students needed a place to eat." So the university planners asked: Why not let Bartlett be their dining hall?
The timing of the two projects thus became crucial. "If you opened the dining hall without the dorm being open, it wouldn't succeed, and the dorm couldn't open without a dining hall," Heuring says.
Working in tandem
To facilitate the process, the projects shared equipment and locally based …

According to a study from Brussels, Belgium, "We investigate the dynamical properties of a simple four-variable model describing the interactions between the tumour suppressor protein p53, its main negative regulator Mdm2 and DNA damage, a model inspired by the work of Ciliberto et al. [2005. Steady states and oscillations in the p53/Mdm2 network."
"Cell Cycle 4(3), 488-493]. Its core consists of an antagonist circuit between p53 and nuclear Mdm2 embedded in a three-element negative circuit involving p53, cytoplasmic and nuclear Mdm2. A major concern has been to develop an integrated approach in which various types of descriptions complement each other. Here we …
Without a single question about his highly publicized road rage incident last year, state Sen. James Lack was confirmed by his fellow senators Tuesday to a Court of Claims judgeship.
The action marked the Senate's latest stamp of approval of a nominee from Gov. George Pataki, who has enjoyed an unbroken string of quick and easy confirmations of his judicial candidates by the Republican-dominated chamber.

Lack, 58, the committee's chairman, said it was a ``little bit of an …
