Gary Reynolds presents the UCCS Facilities Master Plan at an all-campus forum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

UCCS will build a 35,000 square foot building on Regent Circle to increase administrative office space for faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

Gary Reynolds, executive director, Facilities Services, announced the $12 million project on Nov. 7 while presenting the UCCS Facilities Master Plan during an All-Campus Forum.<\/p>\n

According to Reynolds, the building will alleviate some of the crunch felt by faculty and staff across campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a study and there are 89 faculty members doubling up in offices,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cSome of those offices are 90 square feet, so two faculty members in a 90 square foot office.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to project plan, the building will provide 150 to 180 office spaces, depending upon configuration, and will be designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design\u00a0Gold standard.<\/p>\n

The building will be located at the current site of\u00a0Building 20, also known as the CITTI building, on Regent Circle. According to Brian Burnett, vice chancellor, Administration and Finance, the Small Business Development Center will be relocated and the current building will be torn down.<\/p>\n

The project was presented and approved by the Board of Regents and has had an initial review by the Design Review Board and will be funded by a combination of funds from the current budget as well as bonds.<\/p>\n

While there is no groundbreaking date yet, construction is slated to be complete in time for fall semester 2014 classes.<\/p>\n

During the forum, Burnett and Reynolds provided a full overview of the UCCS Facilities Master Plan, which provides a strategy for meeting projected growth needs and campus capacity while aligning with the UCCS 2020 Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n

According to Burnett, the Master Planning Team received input and support from the campus community and city throughout the planning process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of participation from folks in our community,\u201d Burnett said. \u201cFrom folks in our neighborhoods and folks on campus, so we\u2019re excited to share this.\u201d<\/p>\n

One aspect that received audience approval was the plan to increase parking on campus, including the construction of a 1,200-stall parking garage as previously reported in Communique. To read the previous article, please visit: http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=8190<\/a><\/p>\n
