3. Report on Proposed Computing Center Addition to Hoggard Hall
1. David Dodd reported that he had discussed this proposal with VC Tyndall
1. Three issues need to be decided about current IT Services
1. Will computing operations and personnel stay in Hoggard Hall? - move would be very costly
2. Will Westside Hall teleconference site remain in place?
1. Paul is checking to see if funds are available to put teleconference facility in new Education building - will know by end of November
2. Teleconference Center in Westside hall consumes a considerable amount of space that is needed for student and academic support services
3. Will Randall teleconference site remain in place?
4. Will telecommuncations room remain in Alderman Hall? - All telecom to campus comes into this site, any move would be costly
1. Benefits gained would be in terms of space, better environment for equipment (air cond., etc.) and improved security
2. Negative response to any of the four (4) questions will require expenditure of IT infrastructure funds.
2. David reported that VC Tyndall did not have any negative comments on the proposed addition to Hoggard Hall
3. Roman Kolodij and David Dodd will discuss building cost for 10,000 sq ft facility and how much equipment and infrastructure can be purchased with remaining funds

2. This request was approved
5. Report on moving Research Administration to Westside Hall
1. Paul Hosier and Bruce Ragon reported that the move can take place but there are some reservations
1. Current available space will not be Research Administration's final location - RA will need to make a second move when Public Service vacates the remaining space
2. RA will move ASAP but would rather make one move instead of two - single move would take place in February
3. Bob Fry will talk to VC McDowell about delaying additional personnel moves until Feb. - moves include Mimi Cunningham and staff - Mark Lanier will be contacted also.
6. Copy Center Discussion

5. Ty Rowell suggested that we move the current Copy Center to the expanded Print Shop when it is completed.
6. Discussion on this topic will continue
7. Health Center Location during Westside Renovation
1. Moving this facility to another campus location will create a considerable staging problem
2. Suggested location is Hoggard Hall
8. Use of Modular buildings during renovation period
1. Committee continued discussion on the use of these facilities instead of moving personnel off-campus or using a single building as a staging site during renovations
2. Bob Fry suggested that a cluster of three or four modular buildings should to in one location
3. Committee supported concept of using these buildings and ask Roman Kolodij to suggest sites at the next meeting
9. Next meeting Agenda
