Informational/Discussion/Report Items:

1. State-Funded 2003-08 MCIP / Space and Capital $$ 2002-03

Presenter: Fran Owens

Handouts: Completion Date Schedule for Capital Projects

2002-03 Space and Capital $$ Binder

Natural Sciences Space Planning: Proposal for Nat Sci 6

Arts Proposed Project Presentation (Presenter: Ed Houghton)

· Arts’ greatest need is for office and research space, especially studios.

· Realized 21.7% enrollment growth from fall 2000 to fall 2001.

· Project to drop to 50% CPEC space guidelines by 2011, based on Arts having 13% of total campus enrollments. Research space to drop to 17% CPEC and office space to drop to 71% CPEC guidelines.

· Currently experiencing difficulty recruiting new faculty due to lack of research space, and have retention concerns for existing faculty.

· Offering financial incentives for faculty to share offices.

· An Arts Addition (phase 1) would yield approximately 20,000 asf.

Natural Sciences Proposed Project Presentation (Presenter: Kathy Jefferds)

· Justification for Nat Sci building is not based on enrollments, since growth is much less than the Arts.

· Sciences can more easily reach goals of doubling contract and grant funding and doubling the number of graduate students. Investment in the sciences is crucial if the campus wants to realize these goals.

· Astronomy, Physics, SCIPP, Lick and part of Math would be the proposed departments for a new, relatively cost-effective 100,000 asf building.

· Calculations were based on linear growth projections using two different baselines: doable space and 80% CPEC guidelines, taking into account completed building projects over the next few years. The problem grows significantly over the years to build-out and culminates in a shortfall of over 87,000 – 127,000 asf, depending on which measure is utilized.

· Serious shortfalls are projected as early as 2005 or 2006 and would be the point at which faculty recruitments/program growth would have to be stalled due to space needs.

· Although the Nat Sci 6 proposal would not resolve all of the division’s space problems, it would significantly reduce the shortfalls and allow for growth and expansion of critical programs that promise a level of critical mass needed to secure large project funding.

· Summary of major points/sections provided.

2. Classroom/Class Lab Utilization and Classrooms in McHenry Addition

Presenter: Robin Draper

Handout: Refer to Section 6 of Space and Capital $$ Binder

· Standard utilization for classrooms is 35 weekly student contact hours (currently at 85% utilization); standard for class labs is 20 weekly student contact hours (currently at 82% utilization).

· Can no longer apply non-general assignment classroom space used for classes and sections.

· Under-utilization numbers jeopardizes our ability to justify classrooms/labs in new buildings and can also hurt our chances of getting new buildings.

Review of Upcoming Agenda Items

· Handout of topics provided.

Next Scheduled Meeting:

· Tuesday, March 5, from 2:00 – 4:00 at 307 Kerr.

· The 2001-02 schedule will be the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesdays from 2:00 – 4:00 in 307 Kerr.
