Status Report from Committees and Working Groups:

1. Design Advisory Board

Presenter: John Barnes

· Working on Science Hill Master Plan, which includes capacity study for expansion and testing of Engineering Building site.

· Engineering Building siting study: An east-west orientation behind Baskin was chosen as it is the most cost-effective.

Items for Action:

2. Location of Chancellor and Senior Administrators’ Offices

Presenter: Tom Vani

· Request that a Space Evaluation Team (SET) be appointed to review permanent location options. The charge will include a review of any existing building or planned building for relocation.

· Proposed Team members are: Bob Miller (Vice Chancellor, Research), Jean Marie Scott (Associate VC for Housing and Colleges) and Steve Davenport (Institute of Marine Sciences).

· The Chancellor and EVC agreed to this review.

· Consultations by the SET will be conducted.

· SET asked to consider the opportunity cost of leaving Senior Administration in the Library and also to review what the composition of the Chancellor’s Office should be (i.e. include Graduate Division, VC-Research, Development Offices, etc).

· Goal is to complete review by the end of Fall quarter.

Informational/Discussion/Report Items

3. I&R Capacity Space in the future McHenry Library Addition

Presenter: Fran Owens

Handouts: Proposed Capacity Space and Space Categories

· McHenry Library Addition and Capacity Improvements Programming Committee established with Dave Kliger and Lan Dyson as co-chairs. Dave Kliger asked to also chair a subcommittee composed of the Assistant Deans and Capital Planning.

· The subcommittee was to determine what should go into the I&R capacity space, while allowing the space to later be converted into Library space.

· It was questioned whether the relocation of Math made sense; however, this was alleviated when it was noted that the proposal isn’t necessarily an entitlement, but rather it represents options for use of “generic” capacity space.

4. Non-State Funded Major Capital Improvement Program

Presenter: Fran Owens

Handout: 5 year Non-State Space Program (Requirements)

· Plan is due to UCOP on December 3.

· A plan will be presented to ACF at the November 20 meeting.

· Need to show anticipated Housing, Student Affairs, and non-state funded research space projects over the next 5 years.

· Projects must have a “reasonable” certainty (50%) that funding will be available to proceed.

5. State-Funded Major Capital Improvement Program 2002-07

Presenter: Tom Vani

· 2002-07 projectss are tied to a November 2002 General Obligation bond measure.

· State is likely to move forward on “lease-revenue” bonds sooner for projects that can be bid and awarded by June 30, 2002.

· For Santa Cruz, this would include the Engineering Building.

· If successful, the building would be completed one year earlier.
