  B. “Warm Safe and Dry” Update
   
All asbestos remediation work in the three Building is complete.  No asbestos remains in the Dorm.  The Dining Hall only has asbestos now on the outside of windows (minor issue for later construction).  The Dining Hall still has the red cementicious flooring on the main floor, as well as some concealed ACM in walls, but much less than before.  

WKA is preparing drawings for pricing to carry out structural repair of the floor at Dining Hall, roof replacement, chimney and step repair, and drywall installation.

Buildings Report

Neil Building - interior and exterior repairs

Interior - EMSA had four companies do a survey of all problematic building conditions in four trades:  electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and carpentry (doors/hardware).  We then got a second bid to compare pricing for items identified.  There are many repairs included under each of the four categories of work.  A summary of the bidding is attached, as well as a description of the door/hardware work included.

Exterior - Olsson Roofing and Marshall Roofing provided a bid for roof repairs, gutter replacement.  Olsson was the lower bidder.  Olsson is revising their proposal in some respects, and showing also the cost of total roof replacement at Neil.
  F. Contingency Allocated Spending
   
Discuss and vote if necessary on construction contingency spending. 
III. Campus Strategic Planning
  A. Facility Use Planning
   
Results of initial exploration for "future use":
1. Dining Hall Possibilities
2. Administration Timeline

Building Information:
Art Barn is 1,921sqft First Floor

Dining Hall total first floor square footage is roughly 4500sqft   (lower level is approximately the same size)
    Main space (with Stage) is 2,300sqft
    Side room towards Neil is 400sqft
    Kitchen is roughly 650sqft (+ bathrooms and walk in, storage rooms, circulation)

Administration Building is 10,623 of usable program space (this excludes the Garage, the lower level crawl space, and the outside mechanical room).  

Dorm is roughly 5,000 square feet per floor.  The overwhelming majority of that space is small to medium sized rooms off of a double-loaded corridor, but there is some common gathering space in the center, overlooking the Forest Preserve to the west.
IV. Environmental Subcommittee and Grounds Issues
  A. Subcommittee update
   
Discuss possible nature trail and campus-wide trail; Forest Preserve relationship-building ideas.

•Heritage Oak Plantings
