·
Humanities needs
25-35,000 asf of new space above current allotment of ~50,000 asf, which
represents approx. 75% of need (CPEC).
·
Goals:
a)
Program growth/new programs
b)

c)
Institute of Humanities
Research
d)
Aggregate departments
within Humanities
e)
Consolidate faculty
programs
·
Project proceeding
on 2-track basis.
a)
36,000 asf or 50,000 asf?
b)
Add Center for Justice as
an extra wing?
·
Siting is currently
at Cowell/Stevenson
·
3 possible scenarios
for building on site were presented.
a)
Loss of ~85 parking spaces
in all cases
b)
Building Planning Committee
recommends parking structure on Lot 109 (the “long” lot between Cowell and
Stevenson).
c)
PPG needed (with budget) to
UCOP before Spring 2001
à
Need to know site in order to make good cost estimates.
·
Committee Concerns:
a)
Why wasn’t there more
student involvement? Why no student
representation on Building Planning Committee?
b)
Why was this location
chosen?
c)
Why wasn’t the north campus
considered? The new parking structure
is near there and the loss of parking at Cowell will magnify the loss of
parking at the Bookstore. Infill
apartments will also need parking near Cowell.
d)
What is the idea for
Colleges 11/12?
e)
If parking structure is
needed, can it be incorporated into the plan now, rather than waiting?
f)
What consultation was done
with Bob McCampbell (Bookstore) and Wes Scott (TAPS) regarding parking and
circulation?
·
Center for Justice
and Tolerance will need to fundraise between $3M and $5M ($10M for its own
structure)
·
Release space: Approx. 20,000 asf to Social Sciences
(Politics/LALS to Crown/Merrill, Community Studies/Sociology to Oakes) and
approx. 1500 asf to Arts (Porter).
·
Larger building
would allow release space from Kresge.
·
Social Sciences does
not anticipate needing funding to modify space or for moving expenses unless
Kresge is considered.
·
Plan 1 currently has
anticipated funding of P and W in 2002-03, dependent on a new bond
measure. Site planning is proceeding.
·
Committee decided
to tentatively move ahead for additional planning but need to see map with housing and effect of
Bookstore regarding parking/circulation issues.
·
Infill Apartments at
Cowell/Stevenson/Porter are in design development and will soon be up for
review. Stevenson apts. would go near
an abandoned swimming pool, so the land use of the area would need to be
modified to Housing from Physical Education.
Consultation needed with EH&S, Physical Plant, OPERS, Student
Affairs.
·
Staging Area near
East Remote is temporary space needed during this peak time of construction for
contractors to keep their equipment.
The area will be restored after construction and is not an expansion of
the parking lot.
·
Decision on Surge
Building delayed a little longer. How
do we proceed with expansion?
·
December 19 is the
date for the growth and stewardship planning retreat. AM – Academic plan/Building needs by principal officer.
PM
– Presentation on opportunities and constraints, space allocation/principles,
north campus.
Issue: Should principal officers decide how vacated
space currently under their control is used?
· Next meeting is December 12 from 3:00 – 5:00 at 481 McHenry.
