The fact that the addition was an infill situation rather than an appendage on the side of the building demanded that the new recall the old rather than make a separate statement. Features such as the new stair tower interrupting roof lines and the overlapping of the addition onto the existing sacristy will be obvious clues that the new portion of the building arrived later. In plan, each of the major functions in the addition relates closely to what is occurring in the existing building. The new dining halls and food staff locker rooms are in the basement next to food services. The book store is also in the basement next to the tunnel which connects t.he two major academic' buildings on campus. The Blue Room expansion, grand foyer, coat room and gallery are on the first floor. This level with its new entrance off the parking lot is seen as the center of campus circulation. From here, the public and students can be directed to KTIS, Blue Room, chapel, and other academic functions in the building. The second floor serves exclusively classroom functions, keeping the heavy pedestrian traffic to these spaces confined to one floor of the addition. KTIS and the library expansion are on third floor. Both need isolation from the public and nOise, so are good companions on the top floor. The new elevator serves all levels of the addition and in conjunction' with the handicapped lift in the vestibule allows wheelchairs access to the building via the new entrance. 2.
