ITS Space Request
Thursday, April 22, 2010
ITS is requesting that the room in UNF Hall (53/1415) previously occupied by Marketing &
Publications be allocated to ITS. The space will be used in the following manner:
Tech Bench Area (work area);
Spare parts inventory (hard drives, monitors, etc.) including 'ready to go' replacement pc's
in the event of complete hardware failures;
Currency deployment/prep area (this is facilitated by the proximity to a loading dock in
UNF Hall);
New client testing - quality assurance testing area for new deployments (i.e. Windows 7);
Future office space expansion
A portion of these activities are currently being performed in 53/1425-9, also in UNF Hall,
but that space is undersized and critically needed to remediate a developing fire code issue.
The issue is that boxes of student records currently housed in the UNF Hall server room
pose a fire hazard for that space, as the fire suppression system is not rated for the
combustibility of that amount of flammable material. Additionally, some of the boxes are
blocking access to both smoke detectors and some suppression outlets underneath the
raised floor. Even absent the issue of suitability of the suppression system, the existing
space in the server room does not allow adequate room to shift the boxes around to avoid
blocking some portion of required open access to the raised floor.
At the last fire inspection, the issue was pointed out by the fire marshal and reiterated by
the fire suppression system servicing vendor, but not written up as a violation in order to
allow us to remediate the issue prior to the next inspection. The remediation plan is to
move the student records from the server room to 53/1425-9. The existing student records
alone will fill approximately 90% of that space. The remainder of the space will be used to
store a significant volume of printer paper stock, which has been removed from building 15
in order to prepare for the upcoming renovation.
Space Committee Meeting
Space Request for Athletic Academic Support.
The Athletics Department is requesting the review of available space for the continued development of
the Athletic Academic Support Program. Currently, the program has one staff member located in
Portable 857. The staff will be adding at least one, possibly two full time budgeted staff members prior
to the start of the fall term. Athletics is looking for a space to accommodate three staff members,
interns and a conference room in order to perform daily tasks as well as meet with prospective recruits
and their families.
As a NCAA Division I member, it is required that student-athletes receive Academic Support on our
campus (Per ByLaw 16.3). By moving to the core of campus, and closer to the Academic Center for
Excellence, the Athletic Department will be able to provide greater support for our student athletes; far
above the support we have provided previously and more in line with other Division I members.
By moving close to ACE, student-athletes and Athletic Academic Support would have additional
opportunities concerning, but not limited to;




ACE Tutoring
Day and night time student-athlete study hall (monitored by Athletics)
Study Skills workshops
Classroom space
It would also provide additional opportunities for the continued growth of the student-athlete
population by locating the Athletic Academic Support staff by such essential offices as:




Personal Counseling
Testing Services
Career Services
Professional Academic Advisors
This space acquisition would be a move for the foreseeable future of Athletic Academic Support. I
would not foresee additional growth and/or additional facility needs for this department in the next 3 to
5 years when additional funds and resources can be identified within the Athletics Department.
