Consent Agenda Approval: N/A

Campus Planning Subcommittee Items

Delegated Authority Determinations: N/A
Action Items:
1. Climate Action Plan Report (Info Item 25.02): C. Davis/Brailsford & Dunlavey (25 mins.)
  1. This follow-up from the March Campus Development Committee Meeting is in conjunction with a 2022 grant for pro bono consulting to help reduce our footprint. Energy makes up 75% of NC State’s carbon footprint.
  2. NC State is growing in high-energy-consuming research labs, and its investment has been outpaced by usage. Energy efficiency is the key to carbon footprint reduction strategies.
  3. The request is to create a taskforce who will move NC State forward as an energy efficiency strategies leader.
  4. The Committee believes that March is an aggressive timeline, and a concerted effort may take additional time to complete.
    1. After the team is assembled, the timeline can be reviewed.
  5. The Committee requested energy efficiency strategies be coordinated with the 6-Year Capital Plan (Fall 2026 submittal). Facilities can show a business case for energy-efficiency and use that analysis to leverage State Funding for implementation.
  6. The current Call for Needs provides a path forward and the Task Force timeline should be coordinated with that effort.
  7. The Campus Development Committee agreed and provided a recommendation to proceed with the task force development.
2. Office of the Provost, Office of Faculty Excellence (OFE), Winslow Hall First Floor, Space Request #25-09: L. Johnson (5 mins.)
  1. Advancement moved out of Winslow Hall, leaving available space for backfill by another unit. Winslow Hall is a high-profile location and a “front door” for NC State. It’s important to keep this building occupied to create vibrancy within the building and in this campus precinct.
  2. Due to the new space standards, more people can fit into slightly less square footage than was vacated.
    1. This move frees up about 2,000 sq ft. in Clark Hall.
    2. This assignment enables both Provost Units to be co-located in Winslow (see #25-10, below).
  3. The Committee approved Space Requests #25-09 and #25-10 to move forward, that the new office space standards will apply, and that the users should be notified of the changes.
3. Office of the Provost, Budget and Business Operations (BBO), Winslow Hall First Floor, Space Request #25-10: L. Johnson (5 mins.)
  1. Advancement moved out of Winslow Hall, creating available space. Winslow Hall is a high-profile location and a “front door” for NC State. It’s important to keep this building occupied to create vibrancy within the building and in this campus precinct.
  2. Due to the new space standards, more people can fit into slightly less square footage than was vacated.
    1. This move frees up space on the 2nd floor of Holladay Hall.
    2. This assignment enables both Provost Units to be co-located in Winslow (see #25-09, above).
  3. The Committee approved Space Requests #25-09 and #25-10 to move forward, that the new office space standards will apply, and that the users should be notified of the changes.
4. New Space Standards Memo (Info Item 22.08, Related to Info Item 24.02): L. Johnson (5 mins.)
  1. The Committee approved the new office space standards as presented and delegated the socialization of the changes to the Campus Planning Subcommittee. The strategy to educate campus on the new standards will be discussed in their upcoming meetings and then relayed to the Campus Development Committee.
Information Items:
1. Animal Research Facilities Use Optimization and Projection Committee Report (Info Item 25.12): M. Metzler (20 mins.)
  1. Marnie Metzler, the Attending Veterinarian for NC State, is responsible for the care of all animals housed on campus. She addressed the Committee and expressed concerns about the inconsistencies of care and funding among University Stakeholders.
  2. Funding is critical to proper animal care, and programs do not always fit the typical OUC funding structure.
  3. The push toward interdisciplinary work has added complications. It is often a question of what facility a researcher’s animals can be housed in, and backup options are also required. Moreover, funded research may have different regulatory requirements that only certain campus facilities can meet.
  4. The current decentralized approach has led to ongoing issues with facilities with animals currently housed in spaces that were not designed to support them.
  5. The upcoming Call for Needs presents an opportunity for this concern to be represented as a submittal. Genevieve Garland volunteered to lead this effort with the Campus Planning Subcommittee on recommendations from the working group.
2. Cates West Development, Project #202420022: L. Johnson/C. Smith (10 mins.)
  1. The Cates West Development Advanced Planning effort is underway. The design team is homing in on a five-building strategy (~3,000 beds) for the residential development paired with a new 1,100-seat dining facility.
  2. The project cost estimate is currently trending over the fundable budget, but the design team is working with University Housing and Campus Enterprises to establish a fundable project scope that meets the needs of both primary stakeholders within the established parameters.
  3. Renovating existing residential and dining facilities for code compliance and creating additional capacity requires >$600M and a reduction in bed capacity during construction.
  4. A UNC System Office tour of existing facilities is scheduled for October 20th. Meetings with the NC State Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors will introduce the project prior to the full Self-liquidated Debt Request.
  5. The Committee recommended continuing cost-reduction strategies to develop a fundable project scope that meets the needs of both University Housing and Campus Enterprises.
3. Poole College of Management New Building #202420014: L. Johnson (5 mins.)
  1. The recommended site for the Poole College of Management New Building is the Kilgore Hall site. This site will present coordination opportunities with the Horticulture Department who needs to be displaced before the new building can begin construction. Since the Poole College new building is not currently funded for full design and construction, there is time to consider options for Horticulture.
  2. Horticulture Programming is necessary to fully define the needs and the cost implications for swing space and a new permanent location for the department.
  3. The Committee recommended identifying funding for a programming study for the Horticulture Department to better define the needs for their temporary and permanent relocations.
