LEXINGTON — A nationally renowned expert in the preservation of historic buildings said Monday that he believes the University of Kentucky's fire-ravaged administration building has plenty of potential.

        “It's a wonderful building, and it deserves to be restored,” architect Charles Phillips of Winston-Salem, N.C., told a committee formed by President Lee Todd to advise the university on restoration of the 1880s-era campus landmark.

        Care should be taken in the restoration process to preserve the original identity of the building while avoiding architectural tension, Mr. Phillips said.

        “I would put the clock tower back to its full height instantly,” he said.

        Mr. Phillips also recommended restoring the original museum on the first floor, as well as a classroom-lecture hall that would be made to look like an 1880s-era classroom but contain high-tech equipment.
