Items for Action

2.      Final disposition of 12,500 asf in the Physical Sciences Building

As noted in the attached letter from Provost and EVC Simpson on January 20, 1999, 12,500 asf of generic space was added to the Physical Sciences Building (PSB) in order to “dilute” the construction cost per gross square foot to $300.  As also noted, the space was planned in the Project Planning Guide as generic Engineering space.  However, another unit such as the Mathematics Department or the Division of Natural Sciences could use this generic space, while space in the J. Baskin Engineering Building (formerly Applied Sciences) could be released to Engineering.

A decision has not yet been made as to the disposition of this space.  However, when the proposal for the California Initiatives for Sciences and Innovation was approved for Bioengineering, Biotechnology, and Quantitative Biomedical Research (QB3), the solution used to accommodate this program, until the Engineering Building could be completed, was upgrading approximately 4,300 of the 12,500 asf of the generic space in PSB.  In addition, Engineering requires growth space that could be accommodated in the remaining portion of the 12,500.

The Committee is asked to appoint a Space Evaluation Team (SET) to recommend on the disposition of the 12,500 asf of generic space in PSB after completion of the Engineering Building in 2005.  Proposals justifying use of this space from the School of Engineering and from the Natural Sciences should be submitted to this SET.
