See attached for the background information, justification, building diagram, and the request for additional space for KCUR
o Continuous space would be ideal but to renovate the space available would be costly because of the abatement issues
o KCUR would be responsible for all renovation costs and is willing to accept non‐continuous space
Curt Crespino motion and Hali Fieldman second the motion to approve the space request for KCUR. Approved
VII. Capital Projects Update
Spencer Chemistry Building and School of Biological Sciences Renovations o The $18.3M in bonding has been release from the State and with an additional campus funding there will be approximately $21.5M for the renovations
o The first round of renovations will focus on teaching labs and supporting infrastructure
o Meetings will begin immediately involving staff and faculty to determine what is needed if a complete renovation could be done
o The consultant will take that information to develop a master plan o A secondary plan would be develop that would take inconsideration the best use of the money available to complete as much as possible of the needed renovations in the first phase and to find a suitable stopping point to insure a smooth continuation if and when more money is obtained to complete all needed renovations Clarification: The money is not earmarked solely for the renovation of
teaching labs. It will be used throughout both buildings with the main emphases on teaching labs and infrastructure issues
o Timing of the construction has not been set and the work will not be done in‐house
o The first construction phases will be to select a construction manager who will be with us through all the construction phases
o In the second phase the construction manager will bid out the work needed to sub‐contractors
o We are looking at having a master plan that will be like a road map on how we will spend the initial $21M but ultimately be able to renovate the entire buildings with future money
o The number one UMKC Capital Funding priority for the coming legislature is requesting additional funds to complete the entire renovation
o There are no assurances when or if we will receive this money but at this time we have enough time and money to keep us busy for the next two years
Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center o This is a 50/50 Match – the State money is in hand, we have raised the matching private funds, we feel for the current project we need to raise more private funding, and we are in the process of raising those funds
3
o We hope to have a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Design Build team by December of 2015
o A launch event for the project will be October 2nd while the Board of Curators are on campus
o There is a building on the site and asbestos abatement is going on prior to demolition, the demolition bid has been accepted, and the demolition should be completed before the Oct 2nd launch
Oak Street West Development / 51 Oak / KCYM / Whole Foods o Work is underway for the relocation of the KCYM (Kansas City Young Matrons) Club House and the start of the 51st Oak Project which includes Whole Foods, apartments, and offices for the UMKC Student Health, Counseling, and Disability Services
o Saturday September 12th is the moving date for the KCYM building. Starting at 9:00 A.M. and anticipating being on the new lot by Noon.
o UMATTERS will publish the Oak Street and 52nd Street closure times o The entire project is slated to be completed in early 2018
Parking in the 51st Street area o There is abundance of parking in the Cherry Street Parking Structure. Parking lots at the Administration Building and the School of Education fill quickly making the Cherry Street Parking Structure the place to park.
o The parking structure at the new 51 Oak site will contain disability parking for those utilizing the disabilities services offices with sufficient parking for Whole Foods and the apartments. The challenge will be keeping our students out of their parking areas. Issuing tickets and towing will probably become the aggressive way to curtail the parking abuse
The T/m Museum o The project was finished this summer with an opening of August 1, 2015. o It has been a long awaited update with interpretive displays and signage that are easy to see and to enjoy
o Attendance has skyrocketed with great national reviews and articles Performing Arts Center Lobby and Spencer Theatre
o We are in the midst of renovations that will be completed in November in time for the Christmas Carol rehearsals
VIII. Space Utilization Study
UM Systems is launching an initiative to start the Space Utilization Study on all campuses
Paulienand Associates, a Denver, CO consulting firm, has been hired for the study
They will be on campus several times to tour the campus, look at our space data base, our classroom scheduling, employee data, and to get the feel of our campus. They will verify how accurate our data is and to see how space is being utilized now
September 21st they will have a conference call with the Dean’s Council and the Provost as a launch for the September 29th visit
4
September 29th to October 1st they will be back on campus to meet with the Deans and Direct Reports as an interview process to find the needs of the departments and how growing enrollments are affecting the departments and schools
The first visit will focus on the Volker Campus and they will be back mid‐October to focus on Hospital Hill
The project should conclude mid‐November and they will be back to give a draft of their findings
The goal of the study is to look at the information at a campus‐wide level. The last time this was done was in 2002 and there have been major changes since that time
They will be looking at what space we have, how well it is being utilized, is there too much or not enough, how well it is working with what is being taught, and is the space working for what it was forecasted for
The study will show what we have and how it is being utilized and if new construction is proposed schools will have to proof the needed space is not there and new construction is needed
IX. Updates
Deferred Maintenance o We have been gathering annual data, we have completed several assessments of our buildings, we are in the process of compiling that data, and we should be ready for discussion of the information at the next meeting in November
Faculty Facilities or Faculty Club Office o For the next meeting we will pull some data about the successful and unsuccessful way this has been done on other campuses. This would probably need a faculty initiative for it to process
X. Additional Items for discussion
Concerns about aggressive driving on and around campus – 52nd Street toward the Cherry Street Parking Structure and 52nd at Charlotte
Smoking on campus – allowed on City property – if on University property more signs could be posted and general announcements of the smoking policy. Concerns about smoking at the School of Medicine Loading Dock

Next meeting – Wednesday November 4, 2015 – 3:00 to 4:30 P.M. Location General Services Building Room GSB 103
