One major construction project at the University of Kansas Hospital is underway and another major project is planned. Last week, a steel beam was hoisted into place in a topping-out ceremony at the Medical Office Building on hospital campus. The new medical office building is designed to improve access to and capacity of the faculty physician clinics. Construction should be completed by late summer 2010.
Meanwhile, Kansas University Hospital’s Center for Advanced Heart Care will undergo a $50-million expansion that will add three new patient care floors. The new floors will be added to the top of the existing facility on the north side of the main hospital. The eighth and ninth floors will be constructed as shell space for future use, but could accommodate a 32-bed unit and a 24-bed unit. The project will add 123,000 square feet to the existing building. KU Hospital is expected to hire as many as 100 new employees as a result of the expansion.

· requirements to obtain a rental license
· recognizing gang and drug activities
· prevention and applicant screening
“We have tried to include presenters that the landlords have ask for, this includes landlord tenant rights, how to file and execute an eviction, what you need to do to be involved in the Section 8 program, and how to recognize drug and gang activity in your property,” program coordinator for the Rental License Division Debby Graber said. “The one speaker I am very excited about is a respected landlord, Stan Gattan, who will speak about the perks and perils of being a landlord.
