  14. III. FY 2007-08 Capital Reserve Request

  15. Capital Reserve Funding Request Center for the Performing Arts Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $3,000,000 in capital reserve funding for a new 52,000 square foot facility in downtown Florence. The new facility will be constructed through a partnership between FMU and the City of Florence, and partially funded though a substantial private gift from the Bruce and Lee Foundation. Description • Construction of the facility will total $21,000,000 and includes $7,000,000 in state appropriated funds previously awarded for construction of the facility, $1,000,000 from the City of Florence’s state appropriation for its downtown redevelopment project, and a gift of $10,000,000 from the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation. • The facility will consist of a multipurpose theater that will accommodate 750, a 100-seat black box or experimental theater, several classrooms and offices. • The facility will provide instructional and performance space for the theater and music programs of the University’s Fine Arts Department and provide performance venues to benefit the University community, the City of Florence, and the surrounding Pee Dee area. • The City of Florence plans on using this facility as a focal point for their downtown redevelopment initiative.

  16. Capital Reserve Funding Request Deferred Maintenance Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $1,000,000 in capital reserve funding to address ever increasing deferred maintenance needs, primarily in the University’s academic and instructional facilities. Description - FMU is in its 37th year and many of the academic facilities are reaching a critical stage relative to addressing the progressive, cyclical, and predictable deterioration of the buildings. During 2005, the University defined approximately $3.5 million in deferred maintenance needs within physical structures and an additional $3.7 million outside buildings. • Critical needs include mold and mildew abatement in academic buildings and repairs to storm-water collection and sanitary sewer system replacement & repair. • Smith University Center - Significant deferred maintenance need exists for repairs to the 8,000 sq. ft. indoor pool and the facility which houses it. Repairs extend to the pool itself, the surrounding walls and ceilings, access doors, and decks. A critical issue is the need to repair and replace corroded air handlers and piping which have caused air quality to drop below acceptable standards. This project is estimated to be $600,000. • In a time of reduced state appropriated funding, the postponement of deferred maintenance will only result in higher costs for remedying these situations as conditions worsen over time.

  18. Below the Line Request Rural Assistance Initiative Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $600,000 for an interdisciplinary program to assist rural development in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. Description - The Pee Dee region of South Carolina is a primarily rural area of the state characterized by relatively high unemployment and poverty rates.

Francis Marion University requests $500,000 for a program to strengthen pre-service teacher education programs in order to attract highly qualified applicants and enable graduates to perform at a very high level in the classroom. Description - In order to enhance the performance of teachers who are already in the classroom, this initiative will provide high quality professional development activities. This program will be focused on closing the educational gap through improving the quality of K-12 education in the Pee Dee Region. • The proposed Teacher Education Initiative would be structured to improve the quality of K-12 education in the Pee Dee and enhance the ability of pre-service and in-service teachers to work with parents, local school districts, health and human service providers, and the business community to meet the special needs of children living in under funded school districts in the Pee Dee region. • In particular, the proposed program is intended to help close the gap between the K-12 educational system and what students need to know and do in order to succeed in post-secondary education.

  20.
