inside and outside the campus.

Library Learning Commons
- Several meetings between the Library administration and ITS have occurred to discuss
their needs. The Help Desk will move to the Library Commons. Steel Case and Herman

architect.

Physical Facilities Warehouse
-
John Hale gave an update on the warehouse. Nine companies responded for the prequalification phase of the RFQ. The selection committee will meet next Tuesday to
decide on how many may bid. Bids should be received by mid-June and construction
should start July 1. The anticipated move date will be in December. Art & Design and
CCEC have been informed of the delay.
10.
Gender Neutral Restrooms
- Student Affairs will work with LGBT to prioritize their needs for locations on renovating
restrooms to make them gender neutral and send them to Shari for future possible
changes.
11.
Storage Space for ROTC
- Everett discussed that future ROTC enrollment may exceed the space in Building 10.
They believe they may outgrow the space by January 2015. The administrative space in
Building 9 is acceptable but an additional enhanced air-conditioned storage space of
400sf is needed in close proximity of where they conduct their drills and exercises. Shari
noted that there is still an outside storage space that was offered in Building 10 which is
not being used. Elizabeth will confirm the location of the space with Everett and he will
follow up with the group.
12.
Scheduling of Common Outdoor Space
- Student Affairs continues to receive requests for reserving space in various outdoor areas
on campus. The Student Union administration has offered to manage the programming
of these spaces if the committee approves. It was noted that department heads in
buildings will need to be notified in advance of an event.
- A list of the most common spaces requested will be brought to the committee next month
for discussion.
