Introduction:

· Meeting convened by Tom Vani, Chair

Discussion of Notes from the Previous Meetings:

· Notes for the November 20, 2001 meeting were discussed.

· Notes were revised to provide more detail on the discussion surrounding parking, namely the possibility of have two types of permits for what is now encompassed by the “A” permit.

· Notes were revised to include assumptions involving the McHenry Library/Capacity project. Assumptions were that the Chancellor’s Office would move out prior to construction and that the capacity units would not move in until alterations/seismic work was completed.

· Notes were NOT revised to state that Media Services would not move into the Library, since this was not agreed to.

Status Report from Committees and Working Groups:

1. Report on November 15 Design Advisory Board Meeting

Presenter: Frank Zwart

The meeting was dominated by discussion of the evolving design of the Engineering

Building.

· Designed as a generic “bar” building.

· Located north of Baskin Engineering

· Should the lecture hall be freestanding or connected to the building? Continue to plan for both schemes for now.

· DAB prefers a compact scheme with lecture hall attached to the corner of the Engineering Building.

· Concerned with the cost of detached building, since the site footprint would be larger.

· There will be a new courtyard to link with the existing Baskin Engineering Building.

· DAB is considering access issues. The current idea is that vehicular access would be around Heller Drive/Communications Building, with pedestrian access through Baskin Engineering/Communications.

· The building will be 4.5 stories high (classroom level plus 4 stories of offices, etc.) and 130,000 gross square feet.

· Budget is $45M, plus $15M for Cal-ISI space.

· 90 parking spaces will be lost. This loss is expected to be absorbed by Core West. Staging may take up additional parking spaces during construction.

· Current schedule: Regental approval in March, Public Works Board approval in April, Construction begins in mid-summer.

Informational/Discussion/Report Items

2. 2003-08 State-Funded Major Capital Improvement Program

Presenters: Meredith Michaels, Tom Vani, and Fran Owens

Handouts: 2002-07 5-year Plan

· What are the priorities for the new Arts Facility and Natural Sciences 6?

· The order of these items in the 2002-07 plan is due to funding issues.

· Changes to the 2002-07 submittal included removal of Engineering Alterations I, while adding placeholders for phase II and III. Also added “plug” project for infrastructure.

· Currently considering two phases for Nat Sci 6, which will be 167,000 gross square feet (100,000 asf).

· What kinds of presentations are needed before ACF?

Ø Analysis of needs for Arts/Nat Sci, including growth projections.

Ø Can an Arts Building be used to temporarily house Nat Sci needs? What about the reverse?

· There was then a discussion regarding classroom utilization, which ensued after a member asked if these new building would have additional classrooms.

Ø Some non-classroom space is being used for classes (officially), which hurts our classroom utilization numbers, and therefore hampers our justification for new classroom space.

Ø Someone from the Registrar’s Office will be requested to explain the scheduling process to ACF.
