THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
ON FACILITIES NEEDS
Gainesville College was requested by the Chancellor's Office to submit a summary list of
request for five year capital projects (FY2004-2008). Capital projects are divided into Major
Projects (those costing more than $5,000,000), and Minor Projects( those costing less than
$5,000,000. We were also requested to list projects which MR&R (Major Repair and
Renovation) funds would be used for.
The following are the College's requests:
Major Projects:
Classroom Building for FY04
Addition &Renovation of Library for FY2005
Another Classroom Building for FY2008
Minor Projects:
Complete Replacement ofHVAC Systems for FY 2004
Addition to Student Center for FY 2004
Plant Operations/Warehouse/StoragelPublic Safety Building for FY 2005
Music Building Addition (to Performing Arts building for FY 2006
The following are MR&R projects in priority order:
*
Replacement of Chiller & Boiler for Counseling & Testing Center
*
HV AC Replacement for Locker Rooms
*
Replacement of Exhaust Fans in Physical Education Gymnasium
*
Replacement of Lobby Floor - Continuing EducationlPerforming Arts Building
*
Renovation of Administration Building
*
ACTT Center Renovation and Expansion
Notes: When major projects are approved, they are added to a capital list and will probably be
built in five-six years. Approved minor projects can be begun in the year in which they are
budgeted. If, for example, we are able to get the addition to the Student Center approved for the ·
FY 2004 budget, then the project could begin after July 1, 2003. MR&R projects are completed
as money becomes available. It would likely take us at least three years to complete the list
above.
These lists were approved by the Executive Committee. The detail plans were prepared by Jerry
Spiceland, Tom Walters, Mike Stoy and Ronnie Booth. They represent our best estimates for
needs and the Master Plan combined with realistic expectations for positive responses. Those
that are a few years out may have to be adjusted depending on growth and unanticipated needs or
emergencies.
