  1. Reviewed Results of Nov. 22nd Administrative Cabinet Meeting

    3. Committee again affirmed its position that current decision to add space to Hoggard Hall must not be changed.
  2. Hoggard Hall
    1. Committee recommends that Hoggard Hall Addition (Computing Center) and Renovation be handled by one Architectural firm
    2. Committee Recommends that a new computing and network equipment facility be constructed in the Hoggard Hall Addition (Computing Center)

      2. Computer and network equipment proposed for new instructional and research support center (Computing Center concept as defined in bond package) can be integrated into existing equipment moved from Hoggard to new facility.
