DASNR Facility Master Plan process: Feedback and next steps Survey results 26 respondents Surprise at number of structures, and % in need of major repair or replacement Some disputes with assessments on major repair/end of life categories

DASNR Facility Master Plan process: Feedback and next steps Survey results Agronomy farm structures (buildings 609, 611, 613, 616) are in critical state Biosystems and Ag Engineering lab building – misperception that “in need of major repair” means “we’re going to tear this down” – that is not the conclusion I reach; some dispute about the state of the building Nutrition Physiology Building (Animal Science) has planning underway – don’t forget about this

DASNR Facility Master Plan process: Feedback and next steps Survey results Teaching greenhouses and CERL – need to replace and keep on campus 4-H office complex – helpful to have on campus; need more versatile space Consider classroom of the future – what will we need?

DASNR Facility Master Plan process: Feedback and next steps Next steps Charrettes – intensive planning session involving designers and facility users to develop a vision for facility uses and design considerations; involves needs assessment, information on design constraints, discussion of solutions and design features January – February Open to those interested in participating (this calls for active engagement in the discussion, information sharing and design process)
