Campus Center Planning Committee

Meeting Minutes for March 9, 2006

In attendance:  Peter Bennett, Ken Bozeman, Harold Ginke, Lynn Hagee, Steve Hirby, Joy Jordan, Nathan Litt, Patrick Niles, Paul Shrode, Nancy Truesdell

This is the final meeting for Term II, so the committee spent time comparing schedules for Term III meeting times.  It was agreed that we will continue to meet Thursday afternoons, but beginning at 4:00p.m.  The first meeting of Term III will be March 30, 2006.

Those members of the committee who attended the recent architects’ workshop updated the whole group on recent developments and discussions.  Topics included the land bridge and the window of opportunity for construction as mandated by the fire chief, a re-configured student activities floor with conference room, the re-orienting of restrooms on the ground floor to help ease the traffic flow problem, cinema storage space, some small changes between the mailroom and convenience store, and the addition of the green room and ID office.  At the architects’ workshop there was also discussion of the gallery becoming more of “exhibition space,” the dining floor and possible seating levels, and use of various materials.

The committee identified questions regarding the link and disruption to Sage Hall, operating costs for the new consolidated dining services (instead of dining venues in three campus locations), and A-V costs.

Joy will be working on a draft of a survey to go out to faculty and staff early next term.  We will review the draft at the first meeting of Term III.

Next meeting:  March 30, 2006
