report to CCC;
the committee asked CEAC to assist in the creation of a vision / mission
statement regarding the structure and function of the external environment of
the Quad nested within the overall campus context; the term vitality was
emphasized as a
point of focus and CEAC members were encouraged to construct their ideas
without using buildings as a point of reference (think “buildingless”)
4. CTS representatives shared and discussed as mission statement for
Lanigan and
Hewitt Quad Campus Technology Services
4.1 Joe Moreau indicated that Lanigan is a main operational facility
for the
campus; He also shared that there are quite a few unused but usable spaces
in Lanigan that have value
4.2
The idea of an information commons arose from Chris Hebblethwaite and Joe
Moreau explained that ideas related to an information commons are being
explored
4.3
The general consensus of the committee was that the CTS representatives
should go back and refine the current mission statement in particular to
address the following ideas / concepts: a) what does a support center look like
(e.g., centralized / decentralized); b) what are the emerging functions of
technology support; c) what does access look like (e.g., 24 hour access); d)
what are the priority program and personnel connections; the committee will
then review the new effort and move forward.
5. The next meeting is scheduled for May 8, 2008 in room 206 Campus Center
