Engineers propose raising the dining hall exhaust duct to reduce air reading variations with a separate bid of 322000. The spring work, not a design fault, will not affect students and should finish by August 1. Catlett Hall, Iowa River views, 12 stories, opened last fall with 1000+ residents funded by dorm revenue bonds.
