Note that Action Items are bolded and underlined.

Mr. Fry reported that the Administrative Cabinet decided to name the Swing Space building the “Friday Hall Annex.” This decision will stand unless altered by the Board of Trustees at their next meeting. It was noted that the Chancellor really did like the idea of Thursday Hall. The Committee considered several uses for Building “D” at Wrightsville Beach. Among the options mentioned were IOPL and SBTDC, both of which have very limited interaction with other on-campus offices. It was decided that Ms. Beach would discuss moving SBTDC with Ms. Langer. If this Center could be moved then space would be made available for both the Payroll Office and the Custodial Lounge.

• Dr. Hill reported that he had talked to Dr. Jackson about moving the Psychology research operation out of the Academic Support Building. Dr. Jackson was not comfortable with this move since research subjects are elderly and the current facility is easily accessible. He also noted that there are a considerable number of confidential records in this facility. Relocating both and research project and the records would be problematic.
• Dr. Hill talked with Mr. Hayes, Director of Library Services, about moving Museum materials out of the Academic Support Building to an off-campus site. Mr. Hayes was amenable to this idea as long as the site was environmentally appropriate and somewhat larger that the space currently available. The extra space is needed to accommodate materials that he expects the Museum will reclaim as buildings are renovated. Ms. Boyd reported that Purchasing Services is currently looking at off-campus facilities that can be used to store materials during building renovation projects. Mr. Fry asked that Mr. Hayes be included in this review process. Ms. Boyd will contact Purchasing and ask the director to include him in the process.
• Ms. Beach reported that the office in the Academic Support Facility currently occupied by Ms. Bettie Ann Sanders was being vacated. The above moves would provide the Committee with the opportunity to reassign three offices in this facility.
• Mr. Fry reported that he had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Greg Walker in Construction Services to discuss an alternate entry/egress for Institutional Research Staff in Burney Center. He will report on this discussion at the Committee’s next meeting.
• Dr. Hosier, Dr. Hill and Mr. Davis will continue discussions on the use of King Hall as swing space during the James Hall renovation project.

In order to begin the discussion about a process for changing campus space, Ms. Boyd introduced a space renovation and use change form from the University of Albany. The Committee felt that this form provided the information that is needed to decide on alterations to campus space. Members were asked to discuss this form with division personnel and report any concerns, questions or modifications at the next meeting.
