Challenges and Opportunities • Immediate Challenge • Relocate current and planned activities from NCDH and 3715 Peel • Determine best use of Ferrier space • Opportunity • Think comprehensively about use of space • Leverage reallocation budgetary envelope to Faculty’s advantage • Principles • Avoid multiple moves • Group units in an intellectually coherent manner
Process • June to December • gathering technical information, identifying alternatives and evaluating feasibility of alternatives • September to January • Presentation to every Faculty and Chairs meeting as plans developed • Special meeting of Chairs on space • Presentation to Faculty Space Committee and two presentations to Faculty Planning Committee • 3 meetings with AUS executive and AUS town hall • English-French Working Group on Arts Building • Special meeting on classroom design • Numerous individual/group consultations and site tours with those affected
Summary of Major Moves • To Peterson • CDAS, IDP Advising, IOWC, STANDD, Indigenous Rights, CIREQ • [Archeology Lab, Technology & Citizenship, Experimental Econ lab, Social Stats lab, QICSS lab] • To Arts • French Department from Peterson • Conversion of classrooms and VRC to offices and common space • To Ferrier 3 • Arts Computer Labs from Leacock • History offices from Leacock and associated projects from NCDH • To Ferrier 2 • Arts Computer Techs from Leacock • AHCS: Associated research projects and VRC from Arts • To Leacock 1 • Classroom capacity from Arts and multi-use student rooms
Cost Estimates • Ferrier: 521,031 • 327,541 for computer labs • Leacock 1 and 2: 956,316 • 210,515 for Leacock 2 • Arts West: 398,430 • Arts: 1,107,003 • 429,932 for electrical upgrade • Total: 2,982,780
Notes on Costs • Total includes Facilities Management 35% mark up for professional fees, project contingency, project administration • Electrical upgrades in Arts probably should have been done long ago, and will certainly have to be done in the future • Leacock 2 renovations are not critical • Computer lab estimates lower than expected
