Siate 1aw requires that all new and renadeled buildings meet certain stan-
tbrds, and federal m�utetions require that all University programs be ac-
cessible to the handiupped, thereby necessitatin9 aadification to existing
facilities. Previous Legislative appropriatians have funded the initiation
of upgrading buildings on the Uoiversity campuses to meet state standards.
Ramps have beert constructed, sidewalk curb cuts, locker room, bathroom, and
seating madificatio�s have been made, and several elevator installations
have been caipleted. This work needs to be continued for the physically
