Physical Facilities Warehouse
- John Hale updated the committee on the renovation plans for the warehouse.
Batson Cook received sub-bids which exceeded the $2M allowed under the
contract. Physical Facilities will now procure the work by prequalifying
contractors through an RFQ process and once responses have been received, they
will be short-listed. Those selected will be able to bid on the project. Responses
are due May 1st. Bids should be expected in June with substantial completion
being delayed until November. The academic units have been notified of the
delay.

Building 3, rooms 1301, 1302, 1321 and 1322
- After walking through the area, it was decided that the space each group needs
does not interfere with each other’s needs. A permanent wall funded by Student
Affairs will need to be constructed.
12.
Gender Neutral Restrooms
- After reviewing other buildings, Zak Ovadia has identified additional buildings
which could benefit from having gender neutral restroom.

Storage for Drumline
- Modifiable storage buildings were discussed as a possible storage solution.
Queries made by Zak Ovadia resulted in an approximate cost of $25,000 per 12½’
x20’ building. Discussions will continue.
- Dan Endicott noted that any storage unit placed inside the building would need to
be approved by the Fire Marshal.
- The decision was made to leave the drumline in the stadium for now.
