DeSantis reported on Rich Hall.  A target completion date is April 1, 2003. Commissioning will follow in the summer. Johnson Hall is not as far ahead of schedule as Rich.  No firm plans for commissioning.

Schemeatic designs are expected next weekf for CC--S-P projects.  We are waiting for Construction Fund Financial Analysis.

Parking/Traffic study is in conjunction with a total environmental impact review.  This has just started.  Evidence is the traffic counters that we have been driving over.

We have just begun evaluating the Lakeside project for next year. 

D. King reported from Faculty Senate the likelyhood of the 2nd 5-year funding.... still optimistic.

S. Varhus reported that Presidnet Stanley will be inviting a group of "science" faculty to serve on a Science Program Steering committee.

J. DeSantis reported that since no $ are official for S-P, no timeline is in writing.  But first steps include rennovating surge space to empty the west end of Swetman.

Sheldon Hall update. DeSantis reported that current plans include; day care on the lower level, School of Education on the 2nd level and International ed either in Rich or 3rd level of Sheldon.

DEC contract is expiring with possible plans to move them to a free standing facility.

Donor projects.  King spoke to the issure.  Varhus suggested that original list be located as a starting point.  A lively discussed ensued.  Flaherty suggested that CCC write a statement encouraging the culture of philanthropy.  Whitfield questioned what the institutional committment is to the donor, do we have a standard?  King commented that the CCC function would be to notice patterns in requests etc.
 
A query came from Camp (I think) regarding the Penfield Cafe.  It was reported that an architect has been selected and a committee is being formed.  This project has a time deadline set by the donor.

The next meeting is Monday, Feb 3, 2003 at 12:40 p.m. in 702 Culkin Hall
