The remodeled space will be used as a temporary social center during con» stniction of the new Grinnell College Forum. Later, the space will serve as a banquet and party room. The college hopes to begin construction oi the Forum in early spring, according to Grinncll Vice—president Merritt C. Ludwig, necessitating demolition or the old Union building. Occupancy of the new Forum is plauned for September of 1994. Principal work in Main basement will in- volve the “Little theater” where the iloor is to be leveled, and adjacent rooms reconstructed to provide rest rooms and a coat check room. The entire basement, including the Private Dining room, will be air—conditioned. The east outside stairway approach to the basement will also be reconstructed. . During construction, Ludwig said, there will be inconvenience in reaching the Port, but it will continue to be available for stu- dent and faculty use. The remodeling pros- ect is planned for completion about March 1 with the noisiest and dirtiest part at the job being carried out during Christmas re. cess, Cost of the overall project has been estimated at $60,000 to 370,000. When remodeled, the little theater will scrve as a general lounge area, and as a place for dancing. The stage, though reduced in depth, ill be retained.
