In with the new
Graham Chapel has gotten a face lift, this one with comfort in mind
-- new pews have been installed. The original pews were made available
on a first-come, first-served basis, and they were all claimed by
9 a.m. Jan. 28, with the majority going for other campus uses. Sixty
new 40-foot-long oak pews, made by Gunder Church Furniture of Humboldt,
Iowa, have taken their place. "The old ones were just worn out," said
Steven G. Rackers, manager of the capital projects and records division
of the Department of Facilities, Planning and Management. "If nothing
else, they needed to be refinished and reassembled, and we were better
off getting new pews. We upgraded, like you would a car." Rackers
emphasized that the new oak pews would be more comfortable than their
predecessors. |
