Horner, Contractors Meeting to Review Report on Quad Gym

Radcliffe official will meet with contrutors and advisers today to begin deciding the fake of the three year-old Quadrangle Recreational athletic Center (Q-RAC), which officials have kept closed since the beglining of" "the terms because of water damage."

Highlighting the meeting will be the presentation of a long-awaited consultant's report, which will reportedly detail the cause of the water leaks that have impaired the $2.4 million facility and outline a series of potencial the remodies and repair options.

Since today's meeting will be the first opportunity for the parties to review the report, it is unlikely that a decision will be reached immediately on how and when to fix the damage. Louis R. Morrell, financial vice president for Radcliffe, said yesterday.

The damage includes bubbles in the floor of the exercise area and buckled wood floors in some of the gym's squash and racquetball courts.

Morrell said the meeting will address the possibility of opening undamaged parts of the gym in the near future, primarily the 14,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose area.

President Horner has said that she would not consider opening portions of the gym until the completion of today's report Horner had expected to receive the report some three weeks ago, but the consulting firm was still finishing it as of yesterday afternoon.

Official have acknowledged the possibility of a dispute over the report, which could result in a protracted legal battle to determine who is responsible for the damage and to obtain funds for repairs.
