Continue New Construction
Evaluate Options to Implement Master Plan for Student Housing
CONTINUE NEW CONSTRUCTION
Strategies: Develop Operations Management Plan for Facilities Planned as Part of the $68M Bond Project
The addition of multiple buildings in the same fiscal year will require planning for not only facilities operating costs but programs as well. Operations planning should coincide with the construction programming to determine the amount of funding necessary to bring the buildings online. External funding opportunities will be explored to determine if funding may be available to assist in this endeavor. BA will work with Physical Plant, Construction Management and those involved in programming to provide assistance and complete this strategy.
Resources:
Existing personnel in the Purchasing Office, Budget Office, and Business Office, along with personnel in the individual program areas, will be utilized to develop the facilities operations plan.
Progress Measures:
By the end of Fiscal Year 2006, utilities and custodial management plans will be developed by the Purchasing Office. Life and safety issues will be determined by the EH&S and Campus Police Departments. Proformas for each facility will be developed by the Business and Budget Offices to include funding requirements for the buildings and impacted programs.
Major Obstacles:
No major obstacles are foreseen.
EVALUATE OPTIONS TO IMPLEMENT MASTER PLAN FOR STUDENT HOUSING
Strategies: Determine if there is a viable market for housing for married students and students with families.
Update the Anderson Strickler Housing Study to include survey targeting married students with families. Evaluate governmental housing programs to determine if stipends are available for students to assist with housing costs. We will research other funding sources, including private partnerships in coordination with Student Affairs and Housing.
Resources:
Revenues generated from housing fees as well as institutional commitment to renovate current facilities. We will research other funding sources or partnerships.
Progress Measures:
Master Plan for Student Housing will be developed and a proposal to implement will be completed in FY 2006.
Major Obstacle:
Additional funding to meet the housing needs of our married students and students with families.
