Master Planning Committee Meeting

May 19, 2011

Notes

Attending : Da’ka’xeen Mehner, Joshua Greenberg, Derek Miller, Lydia Anderson, Steve Murphy, Gary Newman, Deb Horner (chairing), Doug Braddock

Facilities Report: Jonathan Shambare was unable to attend, so Deb gave a brief Facilities report. The April 2011 update will be sent out to committee members. Deb suggested that members who haven’t seen the Life Sciences construction site should do so – the hole is pretty impressive. Chancellor Rogers interrupted to tell us that the webcam showed that concrete was being poured as we spoke!

Deb mentioned that the architectural guidelines for UAF are in the final stages and will be presented to the BOR sometime this summer. She also shared information about the engineering building meetings that are taking place 5/18 and 19. Of interest to the MPC is the conversation about location. There are three sites being considered: the Forestry Building, the Duckering/Bunnell parking lot, and the west side of Bunnell. The first and last are designated sites in the 2010 CMP; the parking lot site was part of the 2002 plan but was dropped from the 2010 plan. However, if this is the most appropriate site, the MPC will certainly consider a proposal to approve it. Issues with the sites include topography and total footprint with Forestry; loss of the parking lot and cutting off a viewshed with the D/B parking lot area, and the height of the building with the west Bunnell site. Deb indicated that she had strongly recommended that the forested site to the south of the Forestry Building be included in the overall thinking about the project as a perfect site for a picnic area.

Subcommittee Report : Art Da’ka’ gave an update on the subcommittee’s activities. The sculpture at the north entrance to the Art Wing that was at issue as a hazard will be moved to the grassy plot near the entrance. It will be repainted, moved, and appropriate signage will be placed with the sculpture. A second sculpture that was in front of the Harper Building but was moved several years ago to the back of the building will be relocated. The sculpture, by Frank McGuire, was originally purchased through the 1% for art program in cooperation with TVCC, which was located at the building at the time. CTC will be asked if there is any interest in having the sculpture installed at the Barnette St. Building.

Summer activities for the subcommittee will include finalizing goals, objectives and actions.

Lydia Anderson asked if a campus wide announcement of the formation of the subcommittee

and its role would be sent out. The suggestion will be taken up with the subcommittee.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape Deb reported that the One Tree project will be planting approximately 150 birch trees at the T-Field. Jan Dawe and John Alden, CL members, will be coordinating the planting as part of Arbor Day. A meeting is to be held to discuss if there is any conflict between the locations of the snow board area, outdoor ed area, zip line, and Troth Yeddha Park. Deb will report back to the CLS and the MPC.

The following recommendation was unanimously approved by the membership. Motion was made by Deb and seconded by Gary.

The MPC hereby recommends changing the name of the Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art Subcommittee to the Campus Landscape Subcommittee (CL). The newly formed Art in Public Places Subcommittee (AIPP) will have responsibility for both exterior and interior art. The CL will continue to identify locations on campus for placement of outdoor art. The CL will also have review and comment rights on all outdoor art selected by the AIPP.

Subcommittee Report: North Campus There was no report from the NCS, as Nicole Nordstrand was not present. There has apparently been no action taken on the re-route of the ski trail along the construction road.

Other Gary informed everyone that the Atrium project is behind schedule by about one month. Steve asked if anything has happened with the archery range; no one had any information.

Public Comment – none

Meeting adjourned at 9:45A.

Next regular meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 2, 2011. The summer schedule of one meeting per month will begin with the June meeting. However, emergency meetings can be called in the event of an issue that requires deliberation.

Attending : Randy Pitney, Da’ka’xeen Mehner, Bonita Dainowski, Joshua Greenberg, Derek Miller, Nicole Nordstrand (non-voting), Lydia Anderson, Steve Murphy, Gary Newman, Deb Horner, Rich Boone (Note: Gary joined the meeting by phone at ~10:45A; Derek had to leave the meeting early).Guests: Annette Freiburger

Welcome and Introductions

Troth Yeddha proposed tree cutting – Annette Freiburger

Annette gave an overview of the planned viewshed and the need for an improved view. Rich recommended that Annette return with more details about the proposed cutting, including input from some forestry experts on campus (e.g., John Alden, John Yarie, Glenn Juday, Terry Chapin). There also may be some education opportunities (perhaps through the One Tree project led by Jan Dawe). The MPC approved the Troth Yeddha Plan in November 2011.

CCHRC expansion plans – Jack Hebert

Jack presented a design concept for the expansion (7800 ft² addition, $2.3M); it would double the space of leased land. The funding is from the Economic Development Authority within the U.S. Department of Commerce. The addition would be on the west side of the current building. CCHRC has 30 employees and is short on space. The expansion would allow CCHRC to pursue opportunities with multiple state and federal agencies. It would also allow collaboration with professionals from Anchorage.

The new addition would include classrooms, presentation space, and product testing labs. Goal is to break ground in July.

The current building is the farthest north platinum certified LEED building .

Jack presented an overview of the sustainability housing plan. The proposed site would be along the road to CCHRC, with three “pods” planned. The site would include a student garden. Waste water would be processed on site.

Steve asked the requirements to move ahead. BOR approval would be required. Land is UA owned. An agreement with UAF would need to be developed.

Randy Pitney made the following motion (seconded by Steve):

The Master Planning Committee strongly supports the CCHRC expansion and the proposed sustainable village concept.

Motion passed unanimously 8-0.

Facilities Report – Neither Jonathan Shambare nor Scott Bell was present, so an official report was not given. However, Nicole Nordstrand did distribute updates on projects, including the atrium infill project. The groundbreaking for the new greenhouse is scheduled for Friday, 4/22.

Subcommittee Report : Art

Most committee members have been forwarded to the chancellor for approval, with the exception of a representative from Facilities.

A sculpture located behind the Harper Building will be recommended for moving and rehab. It was a 1% for art piece.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape - nothing to report

Subcommittee Report: North Campus

The Subcommittee is moving ahead on discussions about the new trail that will bypass the construction road.

Other - none

Public Comment – none

Welcome and Introductions

Facilities Report
Excavation of Life Sciences site will begin on April 12. Sheenjek will be closed (likely for the life of the project). One lane access to the parking lot on the east side of AHRB and Koyukuk Drive is planned. Facilities website will provide updates on the construction; information will also be included on Facebook and via Twitter.
Shuttle route has been changed.
Jonathan presented possible designs for the proposed new utilidor route. The preferred route may be the route south of Tanana Loop. Digging may begin this summer. The utilidor will be roughly 40’ wide. The utilidor box will be 8’ x 8’.

Art Subcommittee Update
Da’ka’xeen reviewed the suggested membership for the Art Subcommittee with representatives from the UA Museum of the North, Facilities Services, Master Planning Committee, and the Art Department. The membership will be forwarded to the Chancellor for approval.
Subcommittee will draft policies and procedures; they will be reviewed by MPC.
There is a database of art on campus, including locations.
The Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art subcommittee will be renamed the Campus Landscape Committee. The Art Subcommittee will have responsibility for both indoor and outdoor art. MPC will entertain a formal motion to that effect at its next meeting.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art
There is a need for interpretative signs that have a consistent element.
Scott Bell decided to use the Viereck Nature Trail as a pilot project for interpretive signs on campus. It seems likely that Jones & Jones will have a small contract for the pilot project.
The ultimate goal is to develop interpretive signs throughout campus that, while specific to individual green areas, will have consistent elements.

Subcommittee Report: North Campus
The segment of Tanana Loop to be used for construction has been completely plowed in preparation for the Life Sciences building construction.
There will be forums for public comment on permanent re-route options of the Skarland Trail to eliminate the loop currently south of Tanana Loop.
Scott Jerome would like to add a segment to the Big Whizzy Trail; proposed links will be presented for public comment.
The groomer has trouble grooming the trail that goes from SRC along the south side of Butrovitch because of the slope angle. Leveling out the trail will be considered by the contractor hired for the re-design of the Skarland Trail.
There has been a suggestion to name the Ballaine pullout (by Ballaine Lake) after Jack Meese. He built and contributed the money for the shelter; he is an UAF alumnus. No formal request has been made yet. The new naming guidelines will most likely come into play relative to this request.

Other Comments
Gary suggested that an MPC member serve on the RISE (sustainability board). Rich will email Michelle Hebert with the suggestion.
A new director of Environmental Health and Safety will be starting soon.
Greenhouse groundbreaking will be held on Friday April 22.
A Request for Information will be released to acquire information on specified requirements for a runway and hanger to support the aviation program at TVC. A possible location is the east side of the Fairbanks airport; the land is state owned. Facility would be roughly 20,000 ft2.

Public Comment – none

Meeting adjourned at 11:00A.

Guest: Scott Bell, Associate Vice Chancellor Facilities Services

Welcome and Introductions

Facilities Report

Jonathan and Deb met regarding architectural guidelines. Work continues on the draft.

Ground breaking ceremony for Life Sciences will be at 4P March 30.

North Tanana Loop will be used by construction vehicles and will be off limits to other vehicles.
Federal government is requiring LEED certification for construction of addition in Arctic Heath Research Building courtyard. Facilities is negotiating with the government to waive the requirement because it is just at the threshold cost level.

Naming Guidelines Review

Deb reviewed work on draft guidelines by the Naming Committee. The Chancellor wanted consistency with respect to the naming process.

Deb requested the comments be sent to Martin Klein (committee chair).

The committee has considered the value of a longevity-of-service wall, or some other means of recognition.

Proposed Housing and Dining Plans – Scott Bell

There have been efforts recently to re-vitalize dining and housing options on campus. There is a plan to build town houses through a Public Private partnership. The private developer would be responsible for maintenance and cleaning, etc. This type of partnership would be new to the UA system. Partnership would allow the building of housing without capital funds. Students would pay rent to the developer. A key issue is the quality of the building and the rent level. A consultant will be hired for scoping of the idea. The relationship with the developer would be long term (~20 yrs). The model for housing would be a townhouse. The goal is to make campus housing more attractive to upper division undergraduates and graduate students.

Suite style housing for lower division undergraduates, to be located on Copper Lane, will also be considered.

The timing of the populating of the new buildings (absorption rate of students back to campus) has to be considered.

Townhouses would be constructed on North Chandalar. It would be located in an area currently designated as Sports and Fields in the new Campus Master Plan. Deb noted that it would be good to retain as much of the viewshed and open area on the east side of Chandalar as possible.

Goal would be 900 beds, and net campus gain of 400-500 beds. That would mean the re-purposing or demolition of Moore and/or Bartlett perhaps.

There is a desire to move dining from Lola Tilly to the west side of Wood Center.

Lydia asked for clarification about the dining facility. Basic option would be a facility with a 7500 ft² footprint. Modular construction is a possibility. UAF would build the basement; developer would build the rest, perhaps as modular components. Additional two floors could be considered for use by conferences, student life, etc.

Scott noted that there has been discussion about the re-purposing of Lola Tilly if dining were to move to the planned new dining facility (west of Wood Center). It would be a possible location for the bookstore and a welcome center.

Rich asked about the planned dorm for Copper Lane. Possibilities are 220-280 beds. Suites and learning centers are possible. It would be constructed after the town houses and would also be a Private Public Partnership.

Rich asked MPC members to comment on the rationale for designating the North Chandalar area as Sports and Fields. Deb and Lydia replied that the rationale was the need to maintain open space on campus.

Rich asked how much of the space to the east of North Chandalar would be occupied by the planned town houses. Scott replied that a portion of the current open space would be occupied by the new townhouses.

Deb recommended retaining or allocating as much of the current open space as possible for Student Life reasons. She recommended that open space be an integral part of the design of the area.

Annette pointed out that children from Hess Village play in the open area. There is a need to maintain as much open space as possible and a potential conflict if the area is used for high density housing.

Chuck pointed out there is a need to connect the green space on campus. Deb and Nicole noted that connecting the green space is planned.

Facilities will be issuing an RFP to hire a consultant to scope out the project needs in anticipation of an RFP for construction.

Deb offered a motion (seconded by Gary):

Green/open space must be an integral part of the high-density housing design for the Chandalar area. Consideration of linkages to the campus green infrastructure is important as well as integration with the existing play area associated with Hess Village.

Motion passed 10-0.

Rich asked for an update on the planned CCHRC expansion. Jonathan will ask Jack Hebert to attend the next MPC meeting to provide information on the planned project.

Annette asked about the impact on the trail planned to connect with the cutoff on Thompson Drive. The impact isn’t clear depending on the footprint of the planned area and the location of the trail. Annette will provide information for the next MPC meeting. Deb understood that there may be a plan for sustainable housing by CCHRC; that should be part of the discussion for the next MPC meeting. Scott pointed out that students might be involved in helping to design a sustainable housing complex (~5 houses and 20 students).

Scott pointed out that there is a desire to change the access to the Harper Building, eliminating access to Geist Road and adding a connection to Fairbanks Street.

Subcommittee Report: Campus and Outdoor Art – nothing to report

Subcommittee Report: North Campus

Nicole reported that North Tanana Loop was bladed on Tuesday (March 22), making a loop of the Skarland Trail (that south of North Tanana Loop) unusable for skiing. Jason, the trail groomer, wasn’t aware of the blading. Jason installed a temporary trail alongside the road, along its north side.

In early April (7^th or 8^th) there will be a public comment on a potential re-route of that section of Skarland Trail.

John Underwood, a trails designer, will likely be contracted.

See www.uaf.edu/trails for the North Campus trails map.

Public Comment – none

Members present: D. Horner (vice-chair), C. Kuhns, A. Chism, S. Murphy, D. Miller, S. McCrae, R. Pitney, D. Braddock, G. Newman, J. Shambare

Absent: R. Boone, D. Mehner, J. Greenberg, I. Olson, L. Anderson, B. Dainowski, N. Carvajal

Guests: S. Meckel, M. Klein, C. Wohlford , N. Nordstrand (Facilities Services)

1. Martin Klein and Steve Meckel presented the “Maintenance Road Show,” which is similar to the Facilities Modification Road Show given at the last meeting. Martin and Steve outlined what constitutes maintenance, costs, and process. It was a very informative session. Several suggestions were made regarding other ways to get the word out in an effort to educate the university community on this topic. It was recommended that the PowerPoint presentation be posted on the MPC website and that the Faculty Senate and Provost’s Council would be other good venues for getting the word out.

2. Cameron Wohlford reviewed the construction schedule for the Life Sciences Facility. Ground breaking ceremonies will be held on March 30, 2011 at 4 pm. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Cam provided information regarding road closures, construction areas, timetables, etc. He also reviewed the design of the building. The website is at www.uaf.edu/lifescience . Other construction projects on West Ridge include a new greenhouse on the west end of Arctic Health to replace the greenhouse that was in the footprint of the Life Sciences Bldg. http://snras.blogspot.com/2011/03/farewell-to-west-ridge-greenhouse.html , an infill project in the atrium of Arctic Health, and upgraded parking to the west our Arctic Health.

3. Jonathan provided a quick update on Facilities Services activities. He mentioned the expansion plan for the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC). Members expressed concern that we have not heard anything about this. A visit from CCHRC officials to talk about the plan would be appropriate. Mention was also made of the “fast-track” plans for housing and dining services. Again, members were curious as to why nothing has been shared with MPC to date.

4. Deb Horner reported that the Landscape Subcommittee expressed its concerns about the construction laydown area outside of Arctic Health. Cam Wohlford had indicated earlier in his presentation that the plan had been changed, primarily in response to the concerns about the trees that were in the area. Deb also indicated that, although the recommendation to form an art in public places subcommittee has not yet been signed by the Chancellor, the group is continuing to meet. They have recommended membership of 7, with 3 from the art department, 1 non-art faculty, 1 from the Museum, 1 from Master Planning, and 1 from Facilities.

5. Nicole Nordstrand reported on North Campus. Several items are being considered but not yet ready to be brought forward to MPC. GI is working on a proposal to locate several small towers in North Campus to monitor air quality.

Meeting adjourned at 10:56 am. The next meeting will be on 3/24/11.

Welcome and Introductions

Campus Gateway Concept

Given the expected cost (perhaps as high as $5M) and difficulties of constructing a roundabout at what is now “dysfunction junction” the gateway concept may need further discussion.

There was a general discussion of the challenges associated with the gateway concept.

One idea is to make the “welcoming center” what is now Lola Tilly Commons. There may be problems with routing circulation north towards the Woods Center. There may be conflicts with pedestrians.

We need to find out what FMATS plans are (doubtful that they would put $5M toward project), then find out if DOT would have suggestions for other ways to modify the intersection. It was suggested to consider securing a consultant to do an analysis of the best location for a welcoming center/function (doesn’t necessarily require a building but could be co-located with other activities).

Update on architectural standards

UAF may provide a template for the UA system. A goal is to forward architectural guidelines to Board of Regents by June.

Joshua asked if guidelines are to be applied to future buildings or to existing buildings. Interested Regent wants it applied to all buildings; may not be possible, given money necessary.

Parking plan and backfill plans for West Ridge

Gary distributed the proposed parking plan (available at www.uaf.edu/lifesciences) for the construction period for Life Sciences.

There will be a public information session at 4:00P March 1 in 501 IARC.

Annette mentioned that there may be an emergency exercise in the Troth Yedha area in July. Deb indicated that this might not be the best choice and strongly recommended that Annette contact Bernice Joseph at CRCD and the CACNE group for feedback.

Gary asked if there are backfill plans for the space freed up when Biology & Wildlife vacates Bunnell. Plans are not determined yet. A number of groups (Anthropology, Engineering, Student Services, Computer Science) are seeking space.

Facilities Report - none

Subcommittee Report: Campus and Outdoor Art

Membership of the planned subcommittee on art is under discussion.

Deb gave an update on the request from KSUA to put a mural (advertising KSUA) on a campus wall. A student representative from KSUA suggested using the east wall of the Wood Center. Another possible option might be putting a KSUA sign on campus shuttle buses.

Welcome and Introductions

Facilities Services Update – Deb Horner

Revised work schedule for West Ridge will be available March 1.

Deb, Jonathan, and Scott Bell met regarding architectural guidelines.

Randy asked about the status of thermokarst activity in the IARC parking lot and in North Campus. Reed gave a review of the past thermokarst activity on the north end of campus (IARC parking lot, etc.).

Facilities Modification Process

Deb gave the context for the Facilities Modification process.

Reed gave a PowerPoint presentation (see posting on MPC web site).

Deb noted that the true estimate for the roundabout design will likely be higher than the initial estimate. The cost may be closer to $5M than to $2M.

Subcommittee Report: Campus and Outdoor Art

Possible formation of Art Subcommittee

Deb gave the background to the idea of an art subcommittee

Da’ka’ spoke about a meeting that was held in the art department. One topic of discussion was guidelines for hanging artwork on campus.

Mary Goodwin (Art Dept.) has a database on the location of all the artwork on campus.

Deb noted that UA has draft policies and guidelines for art. They are aimed at how the process occurs for a new building or funded project.

Deb provided a draft resolution to form an Art Subcommittee under the MPC.

There was discussion about the need for UAF guidelines.

Members felt it was helpful to shorten the motion to the first sentence.

Deb made the motion (seconded by Chuck Kuhns):

The MPC recommends that a Campus Art Subcommittee of the Master Planning Committee be formed for the purpose of overseeing art in public places at UAF.

Motion passed unanimously 10-0.

KSUA proposal for mural

Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art Subcommittee will be considering the proposal at its next meeting.

Subcommittee Report: North Campus

Nicole reported on the meeting with the Chancellor regarding ambiguity in the North Campus Plan about the special management areas (e.g., Deer Yard and CIGO). Chancellor charged North Campus Subcommittee to develop an addendum that will clarify alignment of management of the Special Management Areas and the North Campus Plan.

Deb mentioned that the Chancellor supports formation of a naming committee on campus.

Guests: Mike Ruckhaus and Jenny Campbell

Welcome and Introductions

Discussion with Scott Bell, Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities

Introductions – Scott Bell and MPC members

Rich asked about UAF’s energy future

UAF design standards should include energy targets for buildings

Retrofitting for energy conservation is more costly than budgeting for energy conservation when a building is constructed.

Coal is likely to be part of UAF’s future for some time

Deb asked about the choice of using coal given environmental considerations.

Scott replied that economic considerations are key.

Replacing power plant will cost roughly $100M.

Rich asked if MPC members had issues to identify for Scott as key issues for their stakeholders.

Steve asked if clean coal technology is possible here given the issue of air quality in Fairbanks.

Mike Ruckhaus described the current system. UAF has evaluated the stack and found that the plant is not a large source of PM 2.5.

Coal boilers were installed in 1964.

Steve: if gas is uncertain, would a hybrid system (coal and gas) make sense?

Mike: existing boilers could be converted to gas. Plan is to replace entire plant.

Deb asked how much UAF research on these topics is taking place. Mike replied that Facilities is working with ACEP.

Derek asked whether UAF could tie into power from Susitna. Electricity from Susitna could be used to generate steam heat but it would not be cost effective.

UAF generates power at ~$0.04 Kwh, much less than cost from GVEA (~$0.19 Kwh).

Randy suggested that Facilities can be more energy efficient (e.g., reducing idling trucks).

Gary identified balancing of heating and cooling in buildings as an issue. Another is building lighting (e.g. Irving II); there aren’t switches for individual offices/work areas. There should be an analysis to conserve with respect to zoning of lighting (switches for individual work spaces).

Lydia said #1 issue for students is the condition of residence halls. Lydia also pointed out that Student Union is not meeting the needs of campus.

Deb suggested an analysis of new fixtures in bathrooms (e.g., Bunnell Building) and other auto fixtures (faucets, etc.).

Tom seconded that dorms are the students’ main concern. He also echoed the need to have a goal for a centralized, multi-purposed student union building. It would improve quality of life on campus and improve students’ perceptions of campus.

Randy noted that Alumni Association goes to Juneau every year to advocate for UAF; it would be useful to get from Facilities a list of high priority needs. Need for elevator in Constitution Hall.

SRC Solar Panels – Mike Ruckhaus and Jenny Campbell (Facilities) and Michele Hebert

Mike emphasized that this is a student project.

Facilities is moving into the design phase now. Design Alaska is working on the design

Student carried out a survey; results were very positive. RISE board approved funding towards the project.

Total target for project is 30KW.

A decision is to wall mount or roof mount panels (engineering and aesthetic considerations).

Thin-film technology can be used on exterior walls, but it is not practical for SRC because a new substructure on the building exterior would need to be installed under the film.

Goal is to install panels this summer.

Not a very viable energy payback. This is not an issue for a majority of students. Students identified sustainability as the main value. It will symbolize sustainability.

Joshua asked about roof mounts; energy return will be greater from ceiling mounts.

Tom said students want it to be visible. Classic solar panels on roof will do that.

Gary asked if snow removal from panels will be necessary. There wasn’t agreement about the answer.

Michele said that current estimate is $365K (including design and installation).

Gary pointed out the panels are a high cost for a sustainability initiative that may not have economic payback for more than 25 yrs.

Deb asked if this is the “best bang for the buck” for sustainability demonstrable?

Michele pointed out that SIREN fee is targeted for sustainability projects, specifically energy related. Students approved a $20/person/semester tax for sustainability projects on campus.

Steve pointed out we didn’t discuss the value of sustainability for reducing carbon footprint. He spoke in favor of the project as a demonstration project. He felt MPC needs to pay attention to this. Steve applauded students for getting it started.

Randy was positive about the project.

Jonathan asked if it is the role of MPC to consider return on investment.

Michele noted that a lot of ideas came from Design and Construction and that students have moved projects forward.

Deb stated that MPC represents a broad spectrum of perspectives and that having an opportunity to do that is important.

Randy made a motion (seconded by Gary) that

MPC expresses its support for the SRC solar panel project at it moves through the process of design and review. Furthermore the MPC commends the students for their initiative to make the campus more sustainable.

Motion approved unanimously 12-0

Facilities Services Update – Jonathan Shambare

Energy Test Module project is out for bid. Expected construction is April to November.

DOT completed their cost estimate for the roundabout; the estimate is significantly higher than $2.5M. Jonathan didn’t have the final cost. He thinks it is in the $5M range.

Per FMATS requirements the beneficiary (UAF in this case) will have to contribute 20% towards the project.

Jonathan will be able to share final cost and design at next meeting.

Facilities has done a design study of Fine Arts Building; there are condensation problems with walls (Room 321). Possible challenges are the need for a new exterior or a vapor barrier (inside work). Issue will come back to MPC when a design study is completed. There are no signs of mold.

Life Sciences Building activities are continuing. Scheme for short-term parking (during construction) is being determined.

Jonathan and Chancellor Rogers had an impromptu meeting with Regent Wickersham regarding design standards; Regent Wickersham would like more details in the standards. Jonathan and Deb will be working on the issue. Any changes would need to be incorporated into the Campus Master Plan.

Lydia asked about cracking windows in Moore Hall. A consultant was hired and unable to provide a definite explanation. Facilities will carry out more testing to determine the cause.

Deb asked about installation of sprinklers in west wing of Arctic Health. Jonathan will get the answer.

Gary asked if design for CANHR of AHRB is completed. Facilities will soon submit design to NIH for review.

Gary asked designs of the planned greenhouse on the southwest side of AHRB are completed. Jonathan will bring design drawings to the next meeting.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art – Deb Horner

There has been progress on interpretive signing on campus. A subgroup met recently to talk about signage. Bernice Joseph suggested kicking off a funding campaign for Troth Yeddha in conjunction with anniversary of ANCSA. Issue of design concepts were discussed at the meeting. At the meeting Deb raised the need to coordinate interpretative signage on campus. Standards for signs need to be developed.

Carol Diebold (UA Museum) offered the services of her staff to develop sign design standards.

Deb serves on committee charged with the issue of naming on campus.

Welcome and Introductions

Roundabout Design (intersection of Alumni Drive and Tanana Loop) – Mary Pagel, Design and Construction

Mary introduced the project.

Ethan pointed out that the Chancellor had provided funding for planning.

Sonia noted that it’s important to have the roundabout at a level grade. A retaining wall may be necessary on the south side of Alumni Drive.

Ethan noted concerns that there may be conflicts underground between a retaining wall and the utilidor.

Grade rise of 10-15’ may be required.

Deb made the following motion (seconded by Steve):

MPC recommends that funding be provided to develop the concept design for the campus gateway, most specifically to integrate with the northern entrance to and exit from the roundabout planned for lower campus

Motion approved 10-0.

Facilities Services Update – Jonathan Shambare

Planning for Life Sciences building is proceeding.

Contract for associated greenhouse construction will be awarded soon.

Skarland work is on track for completion.

Welcome and Introductions

Roller ski course – Scott Jerome, UAF Ski Coach

Scott presented his ideas via a PowerPoint presentation for a roller ski course on campus (perimeter of main campus and just north of the Tanana Loop Extension in the North Campus). He pointed out that there is the possibility of skier casualties when skiers use the bike path because ATVs kick up stones onto the path. Skiers have frequently swept the bike path to improve safety. Oftentimes skiers train via roller skis on the roads; this raises a safety consideration.

Jonathan pointed out that putting a trail just north of the Tanana Loop Extension would be problematic because it has wet soils, requiring permitting from the Army Corps of Engineers.

Deb suggested the possibility of using other existing North Campus trails.

Jonathan suggested that Scott and skiers present their idea to FMATS. It might be possible to link the idea for a roller ski course with the bike path plan for Miller Hill and Yankovitch Roads.

Chuck pointed out that it might be possible to include roller ski trails as part of the Cripple Creek Trails system.

Randy endorsed the idea for the roller ski course. He noted that such a course would be positive for the community. He recommended placing a roller ski course far from the bike path. He asked whether multiple use of the trail is possible.

Scott replied that direction of travel is the main issue for safety and multiple use.

Deb asked about the roller ski trail surface at the Lake Placid, NY facility. Scott replied that it is asphalt.

Rich stated that the MPC feedback for the roller ski course idea is supportive and positive.

Outdoor recreation facility – Mike Sfraga, Vice Chancellor for Students

Mike presented his idea (PowerPoint presentation attached) for an outdoor recreation facility to the west of the Student Recreation Center (SRC).

The facility could be linked to academic programs.

The model for the facility is Northern Lights Rock & Ice in Vermont.

A UAF facility would be open to the UAF and Fairbanks community and could be used for leadership training, staff training, and team building; it could be used by existing programs (e.g., ROTC and RAHII).

The facility could tie into the existing leadership program in the School of Management.

The facility could generate fees from outside groups.

Fencing for security would be necessary. Certification to use the climbing wall (ice wall in winter) would be required.

Gary pointed out that Lost Lake (Boy Scouts) has a similar facility and noted it would be helpful to check with the Boy Scouts regarding design and use.

Jonathan supports the idea.

Bill similarly is very positive about the idea. He stated the facility could be a great “calling card” for UAF. He said that safety concerns could be addressed through proper management structure and control.

Tom also recommended that Mike talk with the Boy Scouts for information on design and costs.

Mike has asked two School of Management classes to build a business model for the facility, one in which UAF students would pay no use fee.

Deb pointed out that it is important to keep in mind the current activities at the site (e.g., sledding); they would need consideration in design planning.

Josh liked the idea of including an education component to the facility.

Randy asked if there has been a student survey to find out what students want with respect to facilities. Mike replied that a School of Management survey indicated that students are very positive about the outdoor recreation facility.

SRC solar panels – Michele Hebert, Director of Sustainability

Michele Hebert and Jessie Huff (student) presented a proposal to install solar panels (skin) on the south side of the SRC. The funding would come from $500K that UAF students have raised via the sustainability (SIREN) fee.

The RISE (Review of Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Energy) Board is very supportive and has approved $120K for solar energy installations on campus. The total cost for the SCR solar panel project would be ~$300K. The payback period for the planned SRC solar panels would be ~25-30 yrs.

MPC members were supportive.

Rich recommended that MPC members examine the proposal from Michelle and Jessie and return to this issue at the next MPC meeting. Michelle would like the MPC to convey its support for the SRC solar panels to the Chancellor.

Facilities Services Update – Jonathan Shambare

Construction manager at risk bid announcement for the Life Sciences Building has been released.

Constitution Hall work (ADA toilet upgrade) is continuing. Completion anticipated by March.

Facilities met with DOT regarding the round-a-bout; design work will begin. FMATS Coordinator and DOT agreed to move ahead with the design work. UAF pays for the design work ($300-500K).

Facilities has provided design standards to Regent Wickersham. A full draft will be provided to the Board of Regents in December.

Gary asked if design work for the North Tanana Loop would begin. Jonathan indicated that design work is not on the schedule now. Gary raised concerns about the timing because Life Sciences Building is expected to be completed within 3 yrs.

Randy asked about McIntosh stairs. Jonathan spoke with Darrin (Bear); the stairs will be added to pr

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art – Deb Horner

Deb has reviewed guidelines for art on campus and met with David Mollett. He would like to establish guidelines that go beyond solicitation of a piece (e.g. revolving art pieces, student art).

A small group will get together to review this issue further.

Subcommittee Report: North Campus (no report)

Welcome and Introductions

Facilities Services Update – Jonathan Shambare

Facilities and Land Management Committee of the Board of Regents approved the concept design for the Life Science Building; it will next go to the full BOR on November 9.

The next step will be to secure a contractor.

Total project is $118M, which includes the greenhouse and the utilities upgrade.

A high priority is to get the steel constructed.

Spring 2014 is a target occupation date.

Contractor for project will be selected by the end of December.

Three contractors are now being considered for the greenhouse construction project.

Roundabout project is moving ahead. Design and Construction is working with DOT to begin the design process. It will be a federal project, which will include design requirements. UAF will provide the design funding. DOT will design the project. Deb Horner asked if the plans for the new entryway to campus will be included in the concept design, and Jonathan indicated that the campus master plan would be consulted.

Chancellor presented North Tanana Loop and roundabout to FMATS and identified the roundabout as the higher priority.

NIH is reviewing the proposal for the Arctic Health Atrium in-fill project.

Process to move occupants of west wing of Old UPark is underway, although the schedule has been pushed back due to unanticipated delays on a number of fronts.

Campus Invasive Plant Management Plan

Several people had identified the problem of invasive plants on campus.

Susan Todd held an open meeting.

Forest Service provided funding for a student project. Jessica Guritz conducted an inventory and map of invasive plants on campus.

Marie as a grad student developed the plan as her Master’s project.

A Task Force was formed and included broad university representation.

Met nine times February – May 2010.

Recommendations are those from the Task Force.

Zones were defined with different people responsible for each zone.

Committee members asked Marie several questions.
Steve pointed out that the details of the eradication scheme would have to be worked out. A regional approach is necessary. Coordination with the Forest Service and other agencies would be helpful.

Rich raised concerns about the impacts of herbicide on research and teaching areas.

Marie pointed out that the Borough may start some invasive plant management, especially the Chena Lakes area.

Motion from Gary (seconded by Deb):

The MPC recommends for approval the Invasive Plant Management Plan pending supportive review and comment by the IAB Director and appropriate plant biologist(s) in the Department of Biology & Wildlife.

Motion approved unanimously 13-0

Archery Range Proposal

Bob Hunter is in charge of Alaska hunter education.

Bob was charged with establishing an archery range in Fairbanks.

ADF&G has $10K marked for seed money.

Archery Trade Association may be an additional source of funding.

Dan Jordan (UAF), Bob (ADF&G), and Roger Weggel (CTC) would proceed to design the range.

Bob gave an overview of the process.

Bob mentioned the National Archery in the Schools program. Over 53 schools in Alaska have incorporated National Archery in the Schools program.

Roger is Asst. Prof. at CTC. He teaches a class at Ryan Middle School. Roger approached Dan Jordan, who was supportive. UAF started an archery club last year. Roger is the faculty lead for the club. Roger shoots with Senior Olympics and works with Junior Olympics as well. UAF now has students who have gone through the National Archery in the Schools program.

Bob provided a Concept Presentation packet.

Lydia asked if it would bring in revenue. Nicole said it wouldn’t bring in revenue.

Bob said a user fee is often associated with a range. There is a range in Anchorage with a user fee. Deb felt that a user fee should be discouraged.

Steve asked if there are any downrange trails. Nicole answered that there are trails and that North Campus Subcommittee’s assessment is that a roof over the shooting spot and a berm in the back of the range would ensure that there is no safety issue for trail users. Bob pointed out that a roof at the spot of shooting can also

Deb made the following motion (seconded by Gary):

MPC recommends approval of Range Road as the designated site for a community archery range. Use of the site is contingent upon a Memorandum of Agreement between ADF&G and UAF.

Motion passed unanimously 14-0.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art

Committee looked at the sculpture by the Art Department that may need to be relocated. Risk Management is assessing the issue; it is waiting for additional information from the appropriate state authorities.

Lydia asked by a student group about commissioning a mural for a building on campus. It is the west-facing wall of Constitutional Hall.

Deb responded that the building’s status as an historical building may restrict any changes to the exterior.

Deb pointed out that there are no written guidelines for art on campus.

Jonathan mentioned that some guidelines have been drafted with Kit Duke.

Deb will pursue the development of art on campus guidelines with Art. Dept. chair, David Mollett.

Subcommittee Report: North Campus

Jason started trail grooming.

North Campus Subcommittee is recruiting for a new community member. Pete has sent an announcement to Dermot Cole for inclusion in Dermot’s column. Scott recommended sending the information to Tim Mowry.

Welcome and Introductions

Facilities Services Update – Jonathan Shambare

Site work for the new Life Sciences Building has begun. Preparation work has begun to move the USDA buildings. Sheenjek parking lot will be used for construction materials. Gravel will be laid behind Akasofu to enlarge the lot for the increase need and/or the museum parking can be used since it is paved and has electric outlets. The Greenhouse plants and materials will be moved to the IAB greenhouse or the facilities greenhouse. Tree cutting work is planned. MPC advised that tree cutting not commence until after a positive November vote on the bond for the Life Sciences Building.

Report continued after the Chancellor’s visit

Ninety-five percent of the work is completed on the storm weather sewage lines and manholes replaced. The network is being put in a GIS format.

The issue of the Yankovich bicycle may come to MPC pending decisions by FMATS.

Switch gear building for the electrical upgrade is almost completed.

Design for AHRB atrium in-fill project will be completed in February, with construction planned shortly afterward.

Randy asked about stairs by McIntosh. Can a ramp be installed? They are on the list for correction.

Chancellor Rogers

Chancellor is receiving continuing positive feedback from the Board of Regents about the new Campus Master Plan.

There is an outstanding request from Regent Wickersham for architectural standards; Facilities Services is working on the issue. At some point the issue of architectural standards will come to the MPC.

There is no request for UAF capital projects in the President’s FY 12 budget.

Chancellor asked if the MPC has identified major issues for the next 1-2 yrs. Deb asked how MPC can be involved in sustainability issues.

Chancellor’s response:

ˇ How do faculty and staff access the campus? How do we address access by bicycle, ski, etc.?

ˇ What is our policy for recycling old buildings, those that would cost more to repair than replace? Can we re-use materials? What is the cost of addressing the hazardous materials, or recycling products out of old building materials?

ˇ #1 risk at UAF is the heat and power plant. There are 4-5 issues (fuel costs, capital costs, operation costs, carbon footprint, timing) to consider. Prime candidate is a fluidized bed for coal waste biomass. Cost is equivalent to 75 faculty positions. Gas would be the preferred alternative if it were available. Wind, sun or geo-thermal sources are not available. How long can we wait to replace the heat and power plant? This would be a good topic for MPC.

Rich asked about Tanana Loop Extension with respect to FMATS.

Chancellor’s response:

Brian met with FMATS last month. Brian identified the round-about as the higher

priority due to the fire station relocation and the construction of the energy building.

The ski trail re-alignment issue needs to be resolved.

Deb pointed out that there is greater need to extend North Tanana Loop to Sheenjek given the planned Life Sciences building. The MPC needs to have a plan in place for realignment of the ski trails. Deb said there has never been a comprehensive study of the implications of the North Tanana Loop extension. Deb urged that MPC deal with this issue.

Rich asked about possible funding for Troth Yeddha Park. Chancellor replied that deferred maintenance will take priority for now.

Gary raised questions about oversight of parking issues. Should MPC have a role?

Chancellor’s response:

MPC does not need a Parking Subcommittee. MPC should re-define it as an access issue (to campus and within the campus). For example, are there federal funding opportunities for ride-share? Parking does not need a subcommittee. How can we better utilize the personal rapid transit; federal opportunities for ride share; inroad with the borough to asst with needs for vehicles and plug ins? Ride share programs depend on relatively fixed schedules to work. Bike access would increase the need for covered storage, and how many months each year will it be needed? How many new parking spaces and where are they needed in the future?

Deb pointed out some of the limitations, e.g., lack of a satellite parking facilities (with plug-ins) for a ride-share program.

The Chancellor asked if we perhaps should increase the number of covered bike racks.

Gary asked if we should have thermal standards as a component of architectural standards. Jonathan replied that Facilities has updated the design standards; they are available via the Facilities web site.

Tom asked about the ageing Moore and Bartlett dorms. What is the timetable for phasing renovation work as required.

Chancellor’s response:

The plan is to work on Bartlett next. It is unknown if Bartlett has cement deterioration as in Skarland. Chancellor said there could be exploratory/assessment work in the summer when students are not on campus. There is 102% occupancy this year with Skarland offline. Skarland will be ready for occupation by March.

Gary asked about status of off-campus space.

Chancellor replied that we spend ~$2M for off-campus space. Are there opportunities to use space more efficiently, conserve space, etc.?

Steve asked about the presence of UAF at AFN and whether there is an opportunity to promote Troth Yeddha. Annette replied that the Troth Yeddha Plan will be presented to AFN pending a positive MPC vote.

Ian asked if there is a direct ICR charge for space. Chancellor replied that there is not.

Parking and Circulation - Martin Klein

There is a need for parking entities to have advisory boards/sounding boards, in addition to a board for oversight of parking operations.

Scott chairs the parking and circulation advisory committee.

Martin recommends that he or someone else from Parking Services come to MPC at least once a year to discuss upper-level parking issues.

Rich recommended that someone should be identified to serve as a liaison to the MPC.

Scott for now will serve that role.

Randy suggested we give more attention to promoting the use of bicycles on campus (especially for 6 mos of the year). Deb pointed out that our roadways are not bicycle friendly.

U-Pass system: Martin reports that the numbers for ridership remain strong.

UAF Shuttle system: Numbers are about the same as last year. This is somewhat surprising given that enrollment rose, but because of the good weather more people may have walked or used their bicycle.

Federal government has money for a van pool. Martin is exploring this as a possibility.

Subcommittee Report: Campus Landscape and Outdoor Art - postponed

Subcommittee Report: North Campus - postponed

Troth Yeddha Plan

Deb spoke out strongly in favor of the plan and gave some background to the planning process.

Rich asked about the committee membership. Annette Freiburger reviewed the committee membership. It included Jennifer Carroll, Bernice Joseph, Clara Johnson, Freda Williams, Debbie Toopetlook, Drena McIntyre, Deborah Horner, Steve Bouta, Wanda Chin, Angela Linn, Laura Conner, Linda Brown, Elizabeth Fleagle, Miranda Wright, Mike Ruckhaus, Brian Rogers, and Annette Freiburger.

Ian asked if anyone from UA Statewide was on the committee. No one from Statewide was on the committee. Statewide is not normally involved in campus planning processes. Ian pointed out that some people at Statewide were not receptive before to the Troth Yeddha plan. Jonathan replied that the Board of Regents is familiar with the plan, and indications are that the Board is now supportive.

Gary raised some concerns about parking access via Yukon Drive given its width and the possibility of informal trails arising. Jonathan replied that the details would be resolved in the design phase.

The expansion of the Reichardt building will not encroach on Troth Yeddha Park.

Steve wasn’t clear how the Shakespeare Theatre fits into the plan. Why is it there? Nicole replied that it is included because UAF has an agreement with the Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre. Deb pointed out that considerations for FST were part of the planning process. The shared use of the space with FST was an important consideration. The attempt of the plan is for it to integrate an existing activity (FST).

Motion by Deb Horner (seconded by Ian Olson):

The Master Planning Committee recommends approval of the Troth Yeddha Plan; it endorses the “Preferred Alternative” design and recommends that the design process incorporate details regarding construction and site conditions.

Motion passed unanimously 14-0.
