THE DECISION to renovate was reached when it became apparent that the Conservatory, also known as the Palm House, was deteriorating. Two wood-framed greenhouses flanking the Conservatory are in what was described as a "dilapidated state" due to the combined effects of vandalism and age. THE NEW greenhouse and pavillions will have tubular steel frames and double-layered glass. The greenhouse, to be built to the right of the Conservatory, will feature a fern garden flanked by the Garden's Bonsai collection. This miniature tree collection is considered one of the finest in the nation.

There will also be an aquatic garden. The three pavillions will house exhibits of temperate, tropical, and desert plants. There will be an underground, skylighted space between the new structures to be used for seasonal displays. While final plans for the renovation are not yet complete, they are expected to be finalized and brought before the Board of Estimate in a matter of weeks. By MIKE SANTANGELO New construction will bloom along with the spring flowers at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as a $16 million renovation project begins at the 74-y ear-old institution.

The garden's Victorian Conservatory is scheduled to be refurbished and transformed into an indoor park where concerts and other events can take place under glass in any weather. Elsewhere in the 50-acre garden near Grand Army Plaza, three octagonal, glass pavillions, and a new greenhouse will rise over the flowery landscape. The new construction will double the display area of the garden and allow the display of a wide array of plants that could not otherwise survive in the borough's climate. HALF THE cost of the renovation will come from the city, with the remainder of the funds being raised by the Garden, which is privately operated although subsidized by the city for one-third of its annual budget. Currently, a major fund drive is planned for the project, with officials saying that nearly $2 million has already been quietly pledged to the project.

In 1982, the garden attracted more than 800,000 visitors. The new project will be designed to If your original Rx is on file elsewhere, just tell your Genovese Pharmacist.

The Fuel Fund was started last year with a $50,000 grant from Brooklyn Union Gas Co. This year, the company doubled its contribution to $100,000. The funds are targeted toward the working poor, the elderly and other people on fixed incomes who have exhausted other forms of fuel assistance. "Regardless of how people heat their homes, if they meet the Salvation Army's criteria for assistance, they can receive help," said Eugene Luntey, president and chief executive officer of Brooklyn Union. An additional $100,000 in credits will be provided by Brooklyn Union Gas for gas customers who are deemed needy by the Salvation Army, he said.

Luntey noted the "fine reputation in distributing funds to the needy" of the Salvation Army. "The Fuel Fund will meet the energy needs of residents of Brooklyn, Staten Island and parts of Queens," Luntey said. He added that the assistance will not be restricted to gas heat customers. Last year's Fuel Fund program provided energy assistance for more than 600 families, a Salvation Army spokesman said. People on fixed or limited incomes who have exhausted governmental help may apply to the fund by writing: The Salvation Army, P.O.

CALL (516) 832-8140 FOR INFORMATION College, called it "a rare arrangement that is mutually beneficial to both institutions, because both can draw a larger pool of students." Brooklyn College, with an enrollment of about 15,000 students, offers a pre-engineering curriculum, but does not offer engineering degrees. The Polytechnic Institute, with an enrollment of almost 5,000, is the largest engineering school in New York State, a spokesman said. Bugliarello said Polytechnic Institute has been very interested in signing similar agreements with junior colleges as well as other area schools with pre-engineering curricula. "We see this as a model for additional matriculation agreements," Bugliarello added.

Science students from Brooklyn College can now transfer to Polytechnic Institute to earn an engineering degree, under a new agreement signed between the two institutions and announced yesterday. Under the agreement, pre-engineer-ing students at Brooklyn College who have at least a 2.5 grade point average in math and science automatically will be able to transfer to Polytechnic Institute as junior engineering majors. The agreement runs for three years beginning in September. George Bugliarello, president of Polytechnic, a private institution, hailed the agreement as "an example of the unique relationship of public and private education in Brooklyn."
