Minutes of the 6/13/06 were approved with the addition of architecture to the list
of disciplines currently occupying 1600 and moving to 900.
Gene Groppetti distributed current floor plan for buildings 300, 500, state project
proposal floor plans for buildings 800, 900, an outline template for building program
definition write-ups, and a sample of the building 1900 program definition document,
which might be a useful guide for committee members as they develop their documents.
Gene suggested that primary users develop initial program definition drafts as
follows:
300—English’s plan
500—Social Science’s plan
800—English & Humanities
900—Studio arts (Radio station, currently in 900, will likely go to 100 next to the
TV studio.
There are unresolved issues related to the 800 and 900 projects. The state has
approved plans for these buildings that differ from current plans, which were developed
after our local bond issue was approved by the voters. However, it appears that the
amount of lab and lecture space in the new plans is nearly the same as in the old plans.
We will ask the state whether or not we can move lab and lecture rooms between
buildings, if the total square footage for these spaces remains the same.
Stephanie Zappa commented that English classes are overflowing 800 and often require
use of classrooms in other buildings. English will need to retain as much 800 classroom
space as possible, even with the development of classroom space in building 300.
The user group website is available, but Gene has to go through a training with the
webmaster before uploading documents to it. The training is schedule for Thursday, 6/22.
