Slow ·progress, money worry Tivoli planners Antoinette Vecchio Staff· Writer . If progress continues at its current rate, the Tivoli Union may not be ready until planes are flying in to Denver's new airport and Hurricane Andrew victims are. in new homes. Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, told the Tivoli Planning Committee (TPC) at its meeting Sept. 3 that they need to speed up the process of getting the Tivoli completed. "They're going to build the airport in less time. People will rebuild Homestead in Florida in less time than we are going to build the Tivoli," Thorpe said. JoAnn Soker, AHEC's executive vice president for Administration, agreed. "If they unified the two Germanies in one year.. .," she said. According to a Tivoli project schedule presented at the last TPC meeting Aug. 18, construction is planned to begin January 1994 and the move-in
date August 1994. Dean Wolf, vice president for Operations, said origi-nai plans for completion of the Tivoli Uriion were January 1994. The reason for the six month delay,
'People will rebuild Homestead in Florida in less time than we are going to build the Tivoli.' - Karen Thorpe he said, is because the master plan has not yet been completed. In order to complete the master plan, a master vendor must be chosen and the vendor, along with the architect, will make
suggestions to the TPC as to where the food court should be located, ·he said. The suggestions must be approved by the Auraria Board before any work can begin, Wolf said. The Auraria Board decision is projected to be made December 1992, he said. The decision on where the food court is placed, Wolf said, will have to be based on the overall good for the next five to ten years. "It's not something you want to start again in the next two years," he said. If the new food court is approved to be placed where the current food court is, Wolf said, the move-in date could jump up to April or May of 1994. Requests for proposals from master food vendors are due Oct. 2, Wolf said. The chosen vendor will manage the food court and provide catering services for meetings and events.
