Addressing Facilities' Needs for Research, Learning, and Living

Prioritize facilities needs in support of emerging academic programs and disciplines and new research needs.

Submitted a capital plan to the central administration and shared that information with faculty governance committees.

• The highest priorities are the renovation of Tisch Library common spaces and Cohen Auditorium and new facilities for sciences and interdisciplinary studies. The Tisch Library plan and Cohen auditorium renovation plan are moving forward. Discussions of space for science and interdisciplinary studies are ongoing.
• In winter 2013, department chairs are providing recommendations to the dean regarding short- and long-term science facilities needs on Medford campus.
  

Continue to evaluate the residential facilities needs of our undergraduate population in this very competitive market.

Recommendations have been made for an international residence hall as part of student experience strategic planning working group.
