2019 meeting were approved with a minor revision.
Master
Facilities Plan
Ken
Kopera discussed the master facilities plan and noted that, at this point, it
is more of a conceptual plan than a master plan. He discussed the why, the how, and the
findings of the plan process.
Why:
·
Reviewed the
major renovations and development of new buildings.
·
Time to focus on
the academic building on Pendleton campus.
How:
·
Reviewed the
process
o
Hired architect
o
Meetings with
stakeholders for input
o
Considered space
needs
o
Developed the
plan
Findings:
·
Adequate space
without the need for new buildings, except for Oconee Hall.
·
Inadequate
assembly space.
·
Campus entry,
parking, green spaces, etc. are contemplated in the plan.
·
Average age of
buildings on Pendleton Campus is over 40 years.
Renovations will address teaching methods and code
requirements.
·
Access to central
energy plant contemplated in building renovations projects.
Next
steps:
·
Two science labs
on the fifth floor of Fulp; offices will be moved to Miller Hall
·
Oconee Hall will
be the first major renovation. Estimated
completion dates are December 2020 or May 2021.
·
Based on a
feasibility study, Miller Hall will have a light renovation, allowing funds to
be spent on classroom space. Will be
used as swing and classroom space during the Oconee Hall renovation.
·
Refurbish the
restrooms in Anderson, Cleveland and Fulp.
·
Anderson Hall
Event Center will be renovated.
Ken
asked the members of the group to communicate this information within their
areas and will be happy to attend staff meetings to discuss the plan. Contact Ken with any questions.
During
further discussion, it was noted that we need to consider the implications for
teaching, the need for alternative methods of delivery, and to provide support
around how to do that. Even with the
shift to Miller Hall, we will be short 8 to 10 classrooms. The EIT Division and
ITC are willing to share space, and we will need to look holistically at how
classrooms are assigned. Many employees
will be tapped for input, and communication is key.
Attendance
Policy
Scott
Harvey discussed the attendance policy and distributed a handout with the
current policy and two options for a proposed policy. He noted that in the current policy, the 14
consecutive calendar days is applied to all terms regardless of the
length. The two options allow the number
of absences to be prorated for the different lengths of terms.
After
discussion, the group agreed on option 2, but changed the allowable absences to
be one half of the number of weeks of the term, rather than five days for all
terms other than Session A.

out.
