Preliminary Design, East Precinct Chiller Plant
-
16,760
GSF facility to supply 6,000 tons chilled water
-
$ 4,290,000 General Funds
-
$ 6,496,000 Nongeneral Funds
-
$10,786,000 Total Budget
-
BACKGROUND:
The project supports the new Biomedical Engineering and
Medical Research Building, allows the retirement of aging,
inefficient chillers in existing buildings, and provides
backup service to the hospital.
The selection of RMF Engineering, of Baltimore, was approved
on November 7, 1997. The architectural design guidelines
were approved on January 23, 1998. The schematic design
was approved on February 25, 1999. Committee members instructed
the architects to improve the fagade to more closely blend
with the surrounding academic buildings.
-
DISCUSSION:
RMF Engineering in conjunction with Facilities Management
and the Architect for the University has developed the preliminary
design, which Mr. Anderson will review with the Committee.
-
ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors.

CHILLER PLANT
-
The President will propose the adoption of the following

Preliminary Design, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Units
-
5,500 GSF Addition to MR-4 Building
-
$1,400,000 Budget from Gifts and Grants
-
BACKGROUND:
The project is needed to 1) respond to changing technology
in the area of protein and nucleic acid structure determination
methods, 2) satisfy a shortage of space for this type of
research, and 3) provide an opportunity to centralize laboratory
activities. The selection of RTKL, of Baltimore, as project
architect was approved on October 10, 1998. The schematic
design was approved on February 25, 1999. Committee members
instructed the architects to improve the facade to more
closely blend with the surrounding academic buildings.
-
DISCUSSION:
RTKL in conjunction with Facilities Management and the Architect
for the University has developed the preliminary design,
which Mr. Anderson will review with the Committee.
-
ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors.

UNITS
-
The President will propose the adoption of the following
resolution:
-
RESOLVED
that the preliminary design, dated March 26, 1999, and prepared

Schematic Design, Observatory Hill Dining Renovation
-
27,650 GSF Renovation
-
4,940 GSF Demolition
-
30,000 GSF New Construction
-
$11,500,000 Budget from Dining Revenues

BACKGROUND:
Observatory Hill Dining Hall was built in 1974. Although
two wings were added in 1984 for additional dining space,
this is the building's first major renovation. The project
includes infrastructure upgrades, renovations, demolition,
and new construction. It increases seating capacity from
635 to 920, and improves customer flow by the use of a "market
place" rather than a servery. Space will be provided for
a food court, convenience store, and offices. The selection
of MMM Design Group of Norfolk as project architect was
approved on October 10, 1998. The architectural design guidelines
were approved on February 25, 1999.
-
DISCUSSION:
MMM in conjunction with Facilities Management and the Architect
for the University has developed the schematic design, which
Mr. Anderson will review with the Committee.
-
ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors.

RENOVATION
-
The President will propose the adoption of the following

Virginia's College at Wise
-
25,438 GSF Renovation
-
37,000 GSF Addition
-
$9,826,000 Budget from General Funds
-
BACKGROUND:
Constructed in 1965 for a two-year science program with
an enrollment of 800 students, the Science Building now
serves a four-year program with an enrollment exceeding
1200. The project renovates the building for physics, astronomy,
and geology, and builds an addition for biology and chemistry.
This is the buildings first major renovation. The Committee
approved the selection of VMDO Architects of Charlottesville
on February 7, 1997 and the architectural design guidelines
on May 29, 1998.
-
DISCUSSION:
VMDO Architects with the University of Virginias College
at Wise, Facilities Management, and the Architect for the
University has developed the schematic design, which Mr.
Anderson will review with the Committee.
-
ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors.

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIAS COLLEGE AT WISE
-
The President will propose the adoption of the following
resolution:
-
RESOLVED
that the schematic design, dated March 26, 1999, and prepared

I.E.
Six-Year Capital Outlay Plan
-
BACKGROUND:
This will be the fourth Six-Year Plan submitted to the state
since the six-year planning requirement was implemented
in 1994. It covers the period 2000-2006. It will be used
as a planning tool and as supporting documentation for capital
project funding at the state level. The Plan has been reviewed
by Academic Deans, Vice Presidents, and the President. It
will be submitted to the state later this spring. The Governor's
staff will evaluate the Plan and will make recommendations
in the budget package for 2000-2002.
-
DISCUSSION:
The Plan supports the Universitys Master Plan and the current
strategy of renovating existing buildings. It includes projects
for which we are seeking state tax funds; projects for which
we will use self-generated funds, such as indirect cost
recoveries, gifts, and grants; and projects to be financed
with bonds backed by a defined revenue stream. The Plan
identifies a significant amount of work, much of which relates
to infrastructure maintenance and improvements.
-
The
six-year program request for the Academic Division, the
Medical Center, and The University of Virginia's College
at Wise totals $880 million of which $383.4 million is in
general funds. The request for the 2000-02 biennium for
all three divisions totals $247.5 million of which $88.8
million will be requested from general funds. The Committee
reviewed the program at its meeting on February 25, 1999.
While cautious about including some projects that did not
have confirmed funding plans, the Committee did not request
any changes.
-
ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors.
APPROVAL OF SIX YEAR CAPITAL OUTLAY PLAN
-
The President will propose the adoption of the following
resolution:
-
RESOLVED
that the Six-Year Capital Outlay Plan for the Academic Division,
the Medical Center, and The University of Virginias College
at Wise for the 2000-2006 period is approved.
-
RESOLVED
FURTHER that appropriate officers of the University are
authorized to make necessary revisions to the plan prior
to its submission to the state, provided the revisions do
not alter in any substantive way the overall capital program
as approved.
