| Description | Tony von Kolnitz was Director of Engineering and Facilities in 1989. The interview begins with discussions between von Kolnitz and Hal S. Currey, who assisted Brooke Fox with the interview, and about how physical plant staff prepared the campus for the hurricane. Preparations included sandbagging entrances to buildings, boarding up windows, and removing debris and any items that could become projectiles from the grounds. He discusses the damage sustained by various campus buildings and how physical plant staff responded to emergency situations such as shattered windows, flooding, and power and water outages. He describes how the Children's Hospital, University Hospital, the Clinical Science and Basic Sciences buildings fared during the storm, what design features worked and what didn't in each building. Von Kolnitz describes the involvement of the National Guard in storm preparations and recovery efforts. He describes the recovery efforts and his thoughts on the effectiveness of the university's disaster preparedness plan. |
