KU salvage at Hoch basement as beams wreck stage and seats
KU mobilizes crews to salvage salvageable items from Hoch Auditorium basement eight months after the June 15 fire. Reporters view a 2 foot hole in floor and 6 by 4 foot balcony opening as beams and water damage hinder salvage. City and university officials outline bids, costs, and plans to stabilize walls, erect temporary structures, and rebuild Hoch with an estimated 18 million dollar price tag and 1 million state planning request.
