Vice President's Remarks
ACTION REQUIRED: None.
DISCUSSION: Darden School Expansion. Mr. Snyder, Dean of the
Darden School, will brief the Committee on the need for the
proposed project.
DISCUSSION: Admission Building. An update will be provided
on the feasibility study for a new Admission Building in the
Central Grounds.
II.B. Report on Actions of the Buildings and Grounds Committee
ACTION REQUIRED: None
November 14, 1998 Meeting of the Buildings and Grounds Committee
DISCUSSION: Schematic and Preliminary Design, Clinch Valley
College Residence Hall. The Committee approved the schematic
and preliminary design for the Clinch Valley College Residence
Hall. Discussion focused on pedestrian connections to the upper
campus. While the project scope does not include stairs or walks
connecting the upper and lower precincts, its design takes these
future connections into account.
DISCUSSION: Scott Stadium Expansion Project. The Committee received
an update on the budget and schedule for the Scott Stadium project.
The project is on schedule. Bids have been close to the construction
manager's estimates, which means that it is necessary to bid
a number of items in the original project scope as additive
bid items. Suite sales are ahead of schedule.
DISCUSSION: Master Plan Update. The Committee received an update
on the Groundswalk and the Carr's Hill Arts Precinct Plan. The
master plan discussion focused on 1) the need to control, restrict,
or stop vehicular traffic in the North Grounds in the vicinity
of the Law, Darden, and JAG schools, 2) proposals for the Athletic
Precinct, and 3) the Groundswalk bridges in the Carr's Hill
Arts Precinct. While the Committee supported the Carr's Hill
Arts Precinct plan, it questioned the cost and implications
of an underground parking structure in Mad Bowl. The general
consensus was that a garage under the new Studio Art building
was more practical, and should be the first priority. The idea
of restricting Culbreth Road to service vehicles and limited
access for patrons of the theatre and performance hall was well
received.
