Strategic Priority 2.1

• Develop and implement a new educational master plan that focuses on enhancing the academic enterprise of the core campus. – M. DesVignes. An Educational Master Plan was drafted by

sub-committee of EPC. The draft was reviewed by appropriate campus groups and was approved by EPC and the Shared Governance Committee in October 2002. Review in spring 2005 will include program viability and Department biennial review, and 6-year outlook for new programs

• Develop a series of plans: capital improvement plan, hazardous substance removal plan, scheduled maintenance, Title 9 compliance, ADA compliance plan, safety plan, & emergency plan. Richmond: Capital improvement plan, hazardous substance removal plan, scheduled maintenance, and Title 9 compliance must be conducted every year; ADA compliance, safety, and emergency plans are reviewed every year. Work environment committee should be consulted where appropriate (Rev 5.10.02).

Strategic Priority 2.3

• Create opportunities for increased social interaction, especially food service, events, and college-wide gathering places. This strategy is focused on physical spaces. Several initiatives have taken place: (1) the Student Admissions Center has been designed to include a 1,000 s. ft. grab-and-go food element along with significant seating overlooking the Communications Quad, (2) the Physical Plant Department under the leadership of Thomas Lee has undertaken an effort to create landscaped rest areas on campus (three areas have been converted with each featuring seating) (Rev 11.20.02).

• Eastcott: A project underway creates a temporary student lounge area to replace the lost lounge in CH; that area is being used by EOPs. $200,000 budget has been committed to the construction of the lounge on the patio of the old cafeteria building. To date the project has been designed with the help of student input along the way and is currently at the State Architecture Department for approval by the end of April 2005. (End of Spring break).

• Schmolze: Creative uses of space for community gatherings have been planned and implemented during the interim period between present and new construction. Opening day lunch on the theatre portico, the quad lawn for the 75th birthday presentations, and outdoor venues using tents for campus community gatherings.

• Siegel: The new student admissions building will have a small 'grab and go' facility.  The ellipse, which was to house the facility, was eliminated to reduce the cost prior to going to bid.

Strategic Priority 2.4

• Provide a cleaner work environment, especially in rest room areas.

Neiman Group has been selected for the restroom modernization project. Construction is scheduled to begin April 2003 on Clausen, Holmes, Da Vinci, and the Administration Building. Schedule completion is September 2003. Other restrooms are part of each buildings modernization package. AVP needs to pilot a revised custodial schedule to maintain cleanliness (Rev 11.25.02).

Yamoka: Overall, a cleaner work environment has been sporadic in the past two years. The Math Department was creative by establishing a weekly report of problem areas in the classroom, buildings FH, JH and restroom facilities. The Plant Facilities staff take great efforts in responding to ‘direct’ work order requests. Without the proposed MP2.5 system (2002) effectively functioning with the ability to report and track work orders, it has caused a source of frustration to building users and management to follow-through and complete requests with responsive communication.

August 2005 17

Strategic Priority 2.4, Continued

• Restrooms: Cleaner restrooms continue to be problematic. The Physical Plant/Operations replaced the “C” shift schedule with an overlapping “B” shift. Efforts for efficiency included the purchase of large operating equipment to clean and sanitize restrooms and another to clean and polish floors in the buildings. The units are shared with crews in each building. Results have been mostly ineffective in all but a few specific restrooms and buildings. The Prop A/AA restroom modernization project completion has had several completion dates and all Phase I restrooms remain closed due to various issues of non-compliance construction and questions of functional usage architectural designs, i.e. motion-sensored lighting system (all changed in December 2004 and an incompatible fire alarm system). The priority of providing a cleaner work environment is a complex issue that involves budget, personnel, inventory/supplies, maintenance schedules and supervision. The systemic problem has been recognized by the Administrative Services departments.
