7.
Office of Academic Testing/Interfaith Office

Moving the Office of Academic Testing to Hicks Hall is being considered. The consultants and Interfaith Center met on September 29th to discuss new office space in the current Office of Academic Testing space. The consultant’s fee proposal is acceptable so programming and schematic design will begin shortly.
If this were to happen, the Interfaith Center would be able to move into the vacated space.


The design and construction package has been completed in order to get an Order of Magnitude Cost Estimate. The estimated construction cost is $688,464.
8.
Master Plan

The master plan is in the process of being updated with a few changes. There will be additional public forums for input before the changes are made.
9.
Building 9 – 2nd Floor

The floor is currently only half built out. Nofa Dixon is using part of the space for her mosaic tiles. This would also be a good area to give the theater group a bigger space.

The construction documents are ready and will be sent out for bidding.
10.
New Aquatic Center

The scope has been reduced and we are currently waiting on an agreement for the fees. CITF monies will be needed to begin the project.
11.
Student Union Renovations to Back Dining Area

Student Government and Chartwells are currently circulating a survey and talking with students to determine how to utilize the space better. It was noted that lunch meetings being held at the Boathouse are better suited in the back room than in the noisier main dining area.
12.
Arena Enhancements

Consultants are working on options ready for Arena enhancements to make it more of a NCAA Division 1 Arena.

Other

Trevor Dunn was welcomed as a new faculty member of the committee.

The Coggin Student Services Advising offices will be moved from Building 42 to
Building 10, first floor. One of the walls will be moved to give them more space and a glass store-front will be installed to make it more visible. CCB Career
Services will expand into the vacated advising space in Building 42.

CCEC will be using the former skate park for one semester for a student project on tidal simulation.
