Schedule for Programming and Conceptual Design Aug 24 - Sept 4: Week of Sept 5: Sept : Week of Sept 18: Week of Sept 25: CNU reviews program spreadsheets and completes Room Data sheets; Budget is reviewed Design team compiles preliminary program and develops options for building massing Design team presents preliminary program and site design diagrams; Program is reduced as necessary Design team develops conceptual site plans and general cost estimates of buildings Design team presents Program Report and Conceptual Site Plan to CNU for final approval

Budget Academic Buildings: projected escalated cost at $275/sf Current approved funds: $11.8M + $10.7M = $22.5M Square feet allowed under current funding is 81,818 gsf for two academic buildings ($22.5M / $275 = 81,818 gsf)
