8.
Classroom and Storage Space for Army ROTC
 Major Jennison has requested a dedicated classroom space for military classes.
There are several maps and items that need to be in the space for many of the
military classes taught on campus. It is difficult to move these items around the
campus. A 110 classroom would be needed. John Yancey will follow up by
checking out the current classroom usage and also checking into how many
military classes are currently scheduled. He reported that they are currently using
2 classrooms in Building 9. Everett Malcolm estimated their need of about 450500 square feet of air conditioned space for storage of maps, uniforms and other
items. Tom Serwatka noted that the ROTC should schedule their classes in
conjunction with the other University classes which would help to use the
classroom for other classes when not in use by the ROTC. Also, by having the
same classroom times, the ROTC students could benefit by being able to schedule
non ROTC classes if they wanted. If a classroom is not identified for sole use by
the ROTC, Tom also suggested finding a space where there is a storage space
adjacent to a classroom.

requested in Building 10 may be dedicated to other groups. Jay Coleman will
schedule a walk-through of Building 10.
Confucius Institute
 The University will be formally withdrawing their application to house a
Confucius Institute as no confirmed decisions have been made.
