Consent Agenda

The Committee approved the consent agenda item(s), comprising CALS Horticulture Field Labs (HFL) Hoop Green Houses Space Request # 19-06.

Action Items

  1. WCOT Forensic Institute Suite Space Request #19-05: S. Jones-Humienny stated that Wilson College of Textiles (WCOT) requested a space reallocation from the Forensic Institute to the WCOT to address teaching needs in the College of Textiles building. The Forensic Institute, which is under the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI), did not develop as expected. Jon Horowitz indicated that ORI is in negotiations with WCOT. The Committee deferred approval until ORI and WCOT finalize negotiations.
  2. Space Principles Revisions (Info Item 19.01): S. Jones-Humienny reviewed the revisions made since the 4/8/2019 USC meeting. The approval of space allocations for various types of space occupancies in Principle 1 and backfill plan approvals in Principle 8 were further clarified. The Committee directed staff to develop a process to identify when leasing of space occurs to private tenants in buildings constructed with partial or full state funding. The Committee also requested regular updates on the occupants of the eight rent supported buildings (RSB) on Centennial Campus. The Committee approved the revised Space Principles.

Information / Discussion Items

  1. Don Ellis Building Backfill Plan (Info Item 19.09): L. Johnson and S. Jones-Humienny reviewed the space constraints in the administrative neighborhood along Varsity/Sullivan Drives. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) vacated the building with the Phase I renovation to the Varsity Research Building. The Don Ellis Building was reviewed as a possible solution for Security Application Technologies (SAT), which needs additional space to accommodate growth, in or proximate to the Worsley Administrative Services Complex. The Committee requested further review of the building, including schematic layouts of how SAT could be accommodated in the building and order-of-magnitude cost estimates for renovation.
  2. Working Backfill Plan for Fitts-Woolard (Info Item 18.12): L. Moore redistributed the Fitts-Woolard Backfill plan from the 3/4/2019 USC meeting. Staff Support has since conducted follow-up meetings with the colleges and units planned for Daniels and Page Halls. The additional information gathered from these meetings validated the approximate square footage listed on the proposed backfill plan for all programs, except for the College of Design (COD). COD has requested that Industrial Design upper level undergraduate and graduate students plus associated faculty relocate to Daniels Hall. This change would require more square footage than is currently proposed for them in the backfill plan. The first meeting for Interdisciplinary Student Project Space is scheduled for May 13, 2019. The Committee directed Staff Support to continue to work with COD to determine how best to meet their needs within the constraints of available backfill plan space.
  3. Brickhaven Occupants Relocation Update (I-440 Widening Impacts) (Info Item 17.04): L. Moore reviewed the groups that will be displaced with the I-440 widening project and the status of the proposed relocation options. Meetings with occupants of 512 Brickhaven are scheduled for early May to review minor renovation needs as the first step in the series of Brickhaven-related projects.
  4. Integrative Sciences Building (Info Item 19.05): L. Johnson provided a handout with summarized information regarding the Integrative Sciences Building. For the project to proceed, a strategic building vision and theme must be established, with a view towards worldwide, state-of-the-art precedent buildings. The Committee will provide recommendations for working group members to develop the building vision and program.
  5. Capital Projects Status (Info Item 17.03): C. Smith reviewed projects and provided a handout.

Meeting Adjourned at 3:30 PM.
