    1. Guidelines
      1. No personnel will remain in a facility during renovation periods
      2. 3 potential staging scenarios for displaced personnel
        1. Move to off campus facility rented by university using monies from bonds
        2. Place rented double-wides in a single location on-campus using monies from bonds for rental and infrastructure costs. These facilities would vanish once renovation projects are completed.

This facility could be used to temporarily house ITSD personnel while Hoggard Hall is being renovated. Mr. Dodd will discuss this proposal with VC Tyndall.
      2. Additional renovation projects will be discussed at next meeting.
