A
Okay,
so
I'd
like
to
welcome,
welcome
everyone
to
the
capital,
planning
and
Advisory
board
meeting
your
members
and
your
like
to
call
in
session
the
third
meeting
of
the
Year
Madam
Secretary.
Will
you
please
call
the
order?
C
Yes,
there
were
two
information
items
before
the
board
today:
the
first
follow-up
to
June
14th,
meeting
board
member
questions.
There
were
three
questions
from
the
previous
meeting
addressed
and
that
is
in
your
member
packets.
The
other
item,
the
amended
Capital
plans.
There
were
two
amendments
from
the
Kentucky
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs
and
those
are
both
in
your
meeting
materials.
A
All
right
great,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
Today
we
have
nine
post-secondary
institutions
providing
overviews
of
their
respective
Capital
plans
in
person.
The
board's
review
we've
got
Eastern
Kentucky
University
is
the
first
of
these
nine
we're
Representatives.
Please
come
to
the
table
and
identify
yourselves
for
the
record.
D
D
We'll
we'll
try
to
stay
on
keep
keep
things
on
time
here.
There
we
go,
I
want
to
start
a
little
bit
with
kind
of
our
our
refocus
Mission.
As
an
institution,
I
took
the
Helm
of
the
institution
in
the
spring
of
2020,
so
it
has
been
an
interesting
ride
as
president
this
I'm
now
starting
my
12th
year
at
Eastern,
Kentucky
University
I'm,
a
two-time
Alum
of
the
institution,
but
as
we've
come
out
of
covid,
we
really
feel
like
that.
D
A
Renewed
focus
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
not
only
in
the
region
but
really
across
the
Commonwealth
was
necessary,
and
so
we've
we've
kind
of
put
those
eight
tenants
here
that
really
drive
all
the
work
we're
doing,
including
our
Capital
planning
and
how
we
execute
on
the
investment
in
our
facilities
and
and
the
in
and
the
upkeep
of
those
facilities.
D
That
is
both
the
tuition
dollar
and
the
support
of
the
general
assembly,
which
has
has
been
very
supportive
of
in
in
the
last
several
years,
and
we're
very
grateful
for
that
continue
to
enhance
the
campus
beautiful,
which
plays
a
lot
into
our
Capital
plan
and
our
Capital
renewal.
D
Elevating
the
university
brand
trying
to
be
focused
on
energizing,
a
region
that
in
many
ways,
Senator
wheeler
and
I,
are
both
from
that
neck
of
the
woods.
D
It
is
a
region
in
transition
in
a
lot
of
ways,
and
so
we
want
to
be
a
big
part
of
that
transition
and
be
a
part
of
fueling
that
Workforce
and
that
economic
prosperity
and
then,
of
course,
enriching
those
strategic
Partnerships,
as
we
move
forward
I'm
going
to
try
to
keep
to
a
couple
of
key
projects
and
initiatives
that
we're
working
on
that
have
been
supported
by
the
journalists
and
have
been
approved
and
in
process.
First
I'll
start
with
our
model
laboratory
school,
which
is
the
Commonwealth
slab
school.
D
It
is
the
only
lab
school
left
in
Kentucky.
We
were
fortunate
enough
to
to
receive
an
initial
funding
for
a
capital
Improvement
on
that
facility,
which
was
built
in
1961.
It
serves
over
a
thousand
students
in
a
laboratory
setting
for
pre
pre-k
through
12..
We
are
doing
a
lot
of
innovative
initiatives
there.
In
fact,
I
had
a
group
of
about
40
principals
who
I
spoke
to
on
campus
the
day
before
I
left
that
were
there
working
on
some
different
initiatives
in
the
K-12
p12
space.
But
we
we
are
coming
forward
with
a
capital.
D
Ask
that
project
was
scored
in
2018,
as
you've
probably
heard
from
a
number
of
other
agencies,
the
the
cost
escalations
in
in
Project
costs.
We
will.
We
will
be
coming
back
with
with
a
project
adjustment
ask
for
this
next
year
in
order
to
complete
that
project.
D
One
Challenge
in
that
p12
environment
for
us
is
that
trying
to
phase
or
value
value
engineer
those
projects
become
somewhat
difficult
when
you're
serving
that
many
different
populations,
not
just
in
elementary
school,
not
just
a
middle
school,
not
just
a
high
school,
and
so
the
need
to
have
you
know
being
able
to
to
phase
a
cafeteria
or
phase
a
gymnasium
is
a
bit
challenging,
whereas
a
traditional
academic
space
and
a
higher
ed
setting.
Perhaps
we
would
have
more
flexibility
in
doing
that.
D
Second
project
is
our
Alumni
Coliseum
renovation,
which
is
really
the
front
door
to
the
university.
This
summer
we
welcomed
over
14
000
guests
to
campus,
just
through
orientations
who
come
through
this
space.
While
it
is
also,
it
is
the
home
of
several
of
our
athletic
programs.
It
is
really
the
venue
that
we
use
to
host
the
community
and
bring
students
to
the
institution.
It
is
the
front
door.
It
is
where
we
host
our
graduation
ceremonies.
D
The
next
big
project
we're
working
on
which
received
an
initial
round
of
funding
in
2020,
was
for
our
Aviation
program.
It
is
Kentucky's
only
four-year
Aviation
program.
This
fall.
We
will
have
approximately
425
students
flying
in
that
program,
making
us
one
of
the
top
programs
in
the
nation.
We
will
be
coming
back
to
Transportation
early
next
month
specifically
to
talk
about
this
program,
but
this
is
a
program
that
is
leaning
into
Kentucky's
number
one
GDP
expert,
which
is
Aerospace
and
Aviation.
D
It's
leaning
in
to
our
Logistics
and
supply
chain
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
the
state,
and
we
really
feel
like
that
with
an
investment
here
that
we
can.
We
can
really
continue
to
position
Kentucky
at
the
epicenter
of
solving
part
of
this
Aviation
crisis
that
we
see
for
Pilots
across
the
state
and,
if
you've
not
been
to
campus
we'd
love
to
have
you
come
down
and
do
a
discovery.
Flight
I
promise
you,
those
students
have
an
impeccable
record
and
we
keep
those
Cessna
172s
and
find
working
order
down
there.
D
The
last
thing
from
a
project
standpoint
I,
want
to
talk
about
I
want
to
be
very
thankful
for
all
those
who
were
involved
is
asset
preservation.
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
resources
that
we
already
have
and
there
have
been
significant
investments
in
the
Commonwealth's
facilities
that
are
on
our
Public
University
campuses.
We
have
put
this
asset
preservation
to
good
work
and
use,
and
you
can
see
this
picture
here.
D
We
got
started
right
after
the
legislative
session
getting
that
work
done
from
Steam
lines
to
HVAC
to
Plumbing
to
electrical
there's,
not
a
lot
about
it.
There's
no
new
buildings,
there's
no
ribbons
to
be
cut,
but
it
does
make
the
campus
functional
it
does
make
the
campus
safe
and
we
feel
like
that.
It
is
a
critical.
D
It
is
of
critical
importance
for
us
to
continue
that
work,
because
there
is
a
significant
amount
of
deferred
maintenance
on
all
of
our
campuses
and
I'm
sure
you'll
hear
from
the
other
presidents
and
representatives
today,
just
about
how
important
that
is
and
how
thankful
we
are
to
have
the
investment
that
we
have
there
and
we
are
going
to
be
supportive
of
our
of
the
capital
ask
for
next
year,
which
would
include
another
round
of
asset
preservation
funds
to
be
funded
outside
of
that
from
a
capital
planning
standpoint.
That
is
really.
D
Our
focus
is
to
try
to
finish
the
projects
that
we've
started
to
continue.
The
asset
preservation
work
that
we've
been
doing
and
really
be
the
very
best
stewards
we
can
of
that
public
trust
and
of
those
public
resources.
Madam,
chair
and
I'd
be
welcome
to
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
committee
may
have
great.
E
A
E
The
green
button
turned
on
I'm
Andy,
Casper
I'm,
the
assistant
vice
president
for
facility
support
services
for
the
system.
I
have
with
me
today,
Lincoln
farmer,
who
is
the
director
of
capital
projects
and
Sandy
Atkins
who's,
the
director
of
capital,
budgets
and
accounts,
and
so
as
soon
as
we
get
this
PowerPoint
going.
E
E
Okay,
gone
kctcs
is
the
primary
provider
of
Workforce
education
in
Kentucky.
We
partner
with
businesses
and
industries
all
over
the
state
to
provide
their
for
their
needs
as
ever-changing,
and
especially
in
the
current
economic
climate,
where
Kentucky
is
like
on
fire,
Economic
Development
wise.
We
are
constantly
having
to
adjust
and
make
new
ways
to
train
people
faster.
E
What
results
out
of
that
is
now
we
we
are
able
to
provide
kentuckians
with
a
fast-track
way
to
high
wage
earning
and
long
careers
that
we
seem
to
be
able
to
provide
better
than
most.
E
We
we've
built
strong
Partnerships
with
the
private
sector,
so
that
we
know
keep
an
ear
to
the
ground
as
they're
trying
to
plan
their
Futures
and
we're
trying
to
adjust
our
facilities
and
our
operations
to
accommodate
that,
because
they've
come
to
rely
on
us
to
be
quick
in
response,
we're
also
building
what
we
call
a
a
trades
Talent
pipeline,
which
means
Mr,
manufacturer
Mr
business.
When
you
come
to
Kentucky,
we
have
the
people
already
ready
to
to
get
engaged
with
you
and
start
so
we're
trying
to
build
those
careers
for
people.
E
Basically,
what
we
do
is
we
change
lifetimes,
not
just
lives
but
lifetimes
for
that
student
that
can
get
educated
to
a
new
program
and
then,
if
technology
changes,
he
can
come
back
to
us
quickly
and
get
retrained
and
it
changes
the
families.
So
we're
that's
what
we
look
for
forward
to
doing
the
most
talk
about
asset
preservation
a
little
bit.
We
really
appreciate
the
general
assemblies
influx
of
funding
that
we
were
able
to
use
for
asset
preservation
and
because
it
was
a
little
bit
flexible.
We
were
able
to
to
accomplish
everything
on
our
list.
E
E
We
touched
all
70
campuses
of
our
16
colleges,
so
we
have
improved
our
facilities
throughout
the
state
as
a
point
to
that
everything
that
was
in
our
biennial
budget
request
for
last
time
has
now
been
accomplished,
and
we
even
accomplished
a
few
others
so,
and
we
did
that
with
a
lot
of
Blood,
Sweat
and
Tears
and
and
schedule
adjustments
and
watching
the
markets
and
trying
to
get
the
best
bang
for
the
buck.
So
we
did
everything
we
could
and
we're
very
proud
of.
E
The
fact
that
we
did
that
now
having
done
that,
that
was
that
was
great.
That
was
an
historic
influx
of
money
that
helped
us
improve
our
facilities
and
make
them
more
flexible
for
the
needs
that
are
coming
up,
but
we
still
have
about
780
some
odd
million
dollars
worth
of
stuff.
We
really
need
to
do
over
the
next
six
to
ten
years
and
so
we're
very
supportive
of
another
influx
of
asset
preservation.
Money.
If
you
can,
we
can
promise
you
that
we
will
use
it
every
penny
in
the
most
frugal
way.
F
So
we'll
talk
about
some
projects
in
the
coming
biennium
we've
identified
some
significant
life
safety,
security,
maintenance
and
accessibility
projects
needed
at
six
of
our
campuses.
These
would
address
critical
building
issues,
the
directly
affecting
the
well-being
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff.
We've
also
identified
a
number
of
smaller
Capital
construction
projects
that
would
help
us
mitigate
similar
issues
across
the
state.
F
E
Recently
kctcs
won
an
international
award
for
our
outstanding
performance
and
energy
conservation
and
and
utility
savings.
We
beat
out
people
like
Microsoft
and
Disney
and
a
bunch
of
big
name
universities,
so
we
were
really
proud
of
that.
But
what
happened
is
we?
E
We
have
used
our
funding
frugally
for
the
last
15
years
and
we've
saved
over
90
million
dollars
worth
of
utility
cost,
and
we
are
looking
always
looking
for
ways
to
go
a
little
bit
further
with
that,
and
so
we've
identified
six
projects
that
we
would
like
to
undertake
in
the
next
biennium.
That
would
further
that
now
that
90
million
we've
already
saved
all
those
buildings
are
continuing
to
save
us
money,
but
we
have
six
more
projects
that
would
affect
24
buildings
that
would
take
us
and
increase
that
savings
that
we're
doing
now.
E
Saving
money
is
always
a
good
thing,
it's
good
for
the
environment,
but
what
it
really
does.
Saving
the
money
allows
us
to
use
our
resources
better
to
increase
the
offerings
and
the
technology
that
we
provide
to
our
students
to
provide
to
the
workforce,
and
it
also
helps
us
to
keep
our
tuition
low.
And
if
you
look
at
the
tuition
rates
for
kctcs,
we're
very
good
about
being
able
to
offer
the
students
a
lot
of
value
for
their
money.
F
F
One
of
the
priorities
would
be
controlling
indoor
air
quality
control
so
that
we
don't
have
unneeded
moisture
or
mold,
and
we're
also
noting
in
the
first
biennium
six
projects
for
significant
site
improvements
at
six
campuses.
These
improvements
would
be
related
to
security,
accessibility,
traffic
flow
and
improved
parking
so
that
we
can
improve
the
site.
Experience
for
the
students
on
these
campuses.
E
Okay,
the
next
part
of
our
plan,
when
you
have
300
buildings
scattered
throughout
the
state,
and
you
have
economic
needs
of
businesses
and
Industry
and
students
all
tugging
at
you.
You
seem
to
always
have
a
building
that
needs
some
sort
of
significant
renovation
to
be
ready
for
the
next
wave
that's
coming,
and
so
we
have
identified
13
significant
projects
where
we
would
want
to
fully
renovate
buildings.
E
When
we
chose
these
projects
we
did
it
for
a
number
of
reasons.
First
of
all,
you
know
they
may
have
some
building
code
issues
or
some
accessibility
issues
or
something
like
that.
That
enhances
the
student
environment
that
they
learn
in,
but
we're
also
looking
ahead
to
how
to
make
our
buildings
more
flexible,
so
that
the
next
time
a
manufacturer
or
a
business
knocks
on
our
door
and
says:
can
you
we're
ready?
E
In
fact,
the
buildings
that
we've
just
completed
in
the
last
bantium
are
have
all
been
done
in
a
way
that
they
are
fully
flexible.
So
today
they
can
be
doing
one
thing
and
six
months
from
now
when
we
need
something
else
taught
we
can
make
those
adjustments,
and
so
we
continue
to
look
at
the
fleet
of
buildings
that
we're
responsible
for
and
continue
to
look
for
opportunities
to
do
that
so
right
now
we
have
13
projects
in
that
and
that
category.
F
Each
of
these
projects
was
found
necessary
by
the
general
assembly
previously,
but
kctcs
determined
that
they
were
too
large
in
scope
to
accomplish
in
a
single
phase.
So
we
were
also
considering
the
continued
use
of
the
buildings
during
an
extended
DeLay
So.
F
We
wanted
their
educational
purposes
to
continue,
so
the
cost
necessary
to
complete
these
projects
obviously
is
in
the
second
phase
or
higher
than
we
originally
expected
due
to
the
inflationary
impacts
of
the
current
market,
and
we
expect
these
markets
Trends
to
continue
for
some
time
and
we've
seen
some
leveling
in
certain
areas,
but
obviously
in
other
sectors
we're
seeing
continued
inflation
and
there
are
extended
lead
times
for
some
critical
items
still.
F
So
this
is
some
of
the
volatile
construction
Market
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
the
same
for
the
past
two
or
three
years.
However,
the
continuation
of
these
projects
is
vital
to
our
mission
to
create
Kentucky's
Workforce
for
tomorrow
and
I
suppose.
F
A
a
good
example
of
that
would
be
the
Elizabethtown
OTB
renovation
there
at
Elizabethtown
Community
Technical
College,
in
consideration
of
the
advancing
economic
climate
along
the
I-65
Corridor,
where
they
are,
and
a
lot
of
that's
resulted
from
the
Bosque
Battery
Park
there
in
Glendale
ectc
has
been
working
to
provide
some
of
the
technological
needs
for
that
area,
as
as
they
see,
businesses,
Industries
and
new
populations
come
into
the
area.
E
Okay,
one
last
category,
as
Lincoln
just
said,
the
I-65
Corridor
is
on
fire
all
we
have
a
battery
plan
or
a
couple
battery
plants
being
built
in
Glendale.
We
have
a
battery
plan
in
Bowling
Green.
E
We
have
a
recycling
battery
facility
in
Hopkinsville,
there's
all
kinds
of
stuff
all
over
that
Corridor,
which
is
causing
us
to
as
we
look
toward
the
future
and
looking
at
the
expanding
Manufacturing
in
the
industries
that
are
coming
to
the
area
and
looking
at
the
population
growth
that
we
have
project
we've
had
to
identify
projects
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
try
to
plan.
For.
So
we
have
eight
projects
that
kind
of
fall
into
that
that
we're
looking
to
do
something
to
address
an
unknown,
imminent
issue.
E
That's
coming
up
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
address
one
of
them.
To
give
you
an
example
is
Glasgow,
which
is
part
of
our
south
central
campus
they're
right
between
they're,
almost
right
in
the
middle
of
Glendale
and
Bowling
Green,
the
two
battery
plants,
our
Nursing
Facility.
There
was
an
old
series
of
dormitories
from
a
TB
hospital
and
a
three
part
mobile
unit
that
has
served
us
well
for
a
long
time,
but
mobile
unit
looks
like
it
served
a
lot
of
people
well
for
a
long
time,
but
we've
we've
used
it.
E
But
now
because
of
the
influx
of
population
to
this
area,
nursing
has
now
become
a
very
critical
thing.
We
cannot
teach
the
number
of
nursing
students
that
we
need
to
teach
in
the
facilities
we
currently
have.
So
we
we
try
to
look
at.
How
can
we
adjust
this
campus
to
to
take
care
of
the
the
new
need?
And
we
can't
those
TB
buildings
are
TB
buildings
and
they
don't
want
to
be
anything
else.
E
So
we're
asking
in
our
plan
to
look
for
we've
already
identified
some
land
that
we
would
like
to
to
acquire
and
to
build
a
campus
there
first
phase
being
nursing
facilities,
because
that's
the
very
primary
thing
and
try
to
expand
our
nurturing
program
exponentially
to
meet
the
need
there
and
then
to
follow
up
with
a
phase
two
and
a
future
biennium
to
build
technical
facilities
there.
That
will
help
supplement
what
we're
doing
in
eTown
and
Bowling
Green
elsewhere.
E
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
we
have
in
our
our
six
year
plan
and
we
appreciate
you
listening
to
us.
I
know
we
rambled
on
we're
very
excited
about
the
possibilities
that
we
have
and
the
things
that
it
feels
good
to
go
to
work
and
know
that
you're
helping
change,
Kentucky
and
change
kentuckians
and
give
them
opportunities
that
they
might
not
have
any
other
way.
We
hope
that
you
consider
us
when
you're
looking
at
the
budget,
great
any
questions.
Thank.
G
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair
guys.
I
want
to
First
just
say
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
for
the
information
that
you
brought
to
us
serving
the
70th
District
I
have
two
of
your
16
campuses
in
my
district,
so
I
know
the
benefit
that
kctcs
has
brought
to
our
area
to
our
region.
On
several
occasions,
I
have
sat
down
with
the
now
current
CEO
Dr
Laura
and
we've
had
many
discussions.
G
I've
actually
been
to
meetings
where
she
has
reached
out
to
factories
in
our
area,
whether
it
be
mines
or
whatever
type
of
Industry
that
we
have
saying.
How
can
we
help
you?
How
can
we
prepare
your
Workforce?
And
with
that
said,
you
know
you,
you
guys
talk
about
the
technical
and
trades
even
just
this
morning.
G
I
had
to
switch
gears
to
get
here
because
I
was
putting
a
septic
tank
in
this
morning
and
now
I'm
here
representing
my
district,
so
I
understand
that
the
tech
trade
or
the
trades
industry,
especially
in
rural
Kentucky,
is
what's
driving
our
economy.
You
know
we
don't
have
great
big
factories,
but
our
trades
industry
is
booming.
We
need
electricians,
plumbers,
HVAC
people,
whatever
the
case
may
be
so
I
want
to
commend
you
on
the
work
that
you've
done
there
and
I
would
like
to
draw
the
committee's
attention
to
looks.
G
Like
page
five
of
19.,
we
have
a
renovation
construction
on
Euros
pamphlet
that
you've
given
out
for
mctcs
I,
have
toured
the
building
and
I
wanted
to
bring
to
everybody's
attention.
It
says:
Administrative,
Building
and
I
know
that
that's
a
fancy
fluff
word
that
we
use
sometimes
in
Frankfurt,
so
I'll
just
get
down
to
the
redneck
version
of
it.
G
It's
a
gonna
be
a
great
area
that
they're
wanting
to
produce
to
really
bring
some
light
to
the
students
and
I
want
to
read
some
of
the
just
a
few
of
the
quali
the
benefits
this
will
bring
to
them.
It
says
Administrative
Building,
but
this
will
include
a
library,
a
Writing
Center,
a
tutoring
center,
a
ready,
Work
Program
Center,
which
had
my
attention
at
that
education,
adult
education,
a
bookstore
food
pantry,
there's
even
going
to
be
a
place
for
case
management
for
social
workers.
I
mean
the
benefit
of
this
building.
G
E
G
E
Multiple
things,
our
students
are
often
in
a
unique
situation
where
they
have
economic
problems
or
they.
You
know
they
already
have
a
family
they're
working
and
they
they
have
to
have
somewhere
close
by
in
their
backyard
to
gain
their
education,
and
so
we
do
accommodate
students
as
best
we
can
and
and
offer
them
services
that
a
lot
of
places
wouldn't.
But
it's
just
part
of
the
deal.
So
our
all
of
our
buildings
are
multifaceted,
no
matter
what
it's
called.
Yes,.
E
A
H
Well,
good
afternoon,
Madam
James
committee
members,
my
name
is
Kofi
acapo
I'm,
the
new
Kentucky
State
University,
president
I,
have
with
me
Miss
Jennifer
Linton,
who
is
in
charge
of
our
Capital
planning
and
Miss
Duke.
Who
is
my
boy
chair,
I've,
been
on
the
job
exactly
today
is
day
14.,
so
it
feels
like
at
20
years
already,
but
it's
only
there
for
14.
H
The
committee
I
worked
on
campus
and
I'm
sad
to
report
that
that
the
port
States
our
buildings
are
in
it's
embarrassing
and
the
entrance
of
every
building
is
a
liability
right
now
you
can
see
the
metal,
the
concretes
are
broken
and
it's
just
I
pray
every
day
that
no
student
or
parent
called
the
office
of
civil
rights
on
us,
because
you
know
how
we
went
through
that
and
they
came
for
the
audit
and
it
can
be
pricey.
H
But
the
main
one
on
our
list
is
our
new
Health,
Sciences,
Building
and
nursing
is
the
fastest
growing
program
on
the
campus
right
now
and
the
one
that
is
Dublin
enrollment.
H
My
colleagues
who
preceded
me
spoke
about
asset
preservation.
We
desperately
need
help.
Every
single
building
on
campus
is
leaking
the
roof
of
all
all
the
buildings
are
leaking
and
the
HVAC
system
I
don't
know
when
they
were
installed,
but
they
all
seem
to
be
outdated.
It's
just
a
matter
of
day
and
a
matter
of
time
when
we
will
run
into
some
problem
with
our
asset.
So
I
will,
let
me
say,
do
you
want
to
say
anything?
H
I
The
list-
yes,
we
and
we
understand
that
at
Kentucky,
State
University,
a
lot
of
our
buildings
have
just
you
know,
been
neglected
and
we
are
in
desperate
need
of
having
some
funding
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
students,
as
well
as
our
staff
and
our
faculty,
and
so
Jennifer
is
going
to
go
through
our
our
plan.
Hopefully,
you
listen
and
be
able
to
give
a
give
us
some
support
in
that.
Thank
you
and.
H
If
I
may
add
I'm
trying
to
get
us
out
of
our
financial
trouble
and
we
even
don't
have
fun
balance
as
we
speak,
nothing
against
my
colleagues,
but
other
institutions
have
fund
balance.
We
don't
even
have
fund
balance
as
as
I
speak
to
you.
My
goal
is
to
build
one,
but
that's
how
desperate
we
are.
Thank
you
for
listening.
J
Thank
you
and
again
I'm
Jennifer,
London
and
I
manage
the
Capital
Construction
Program
for
Kentucky
State
University
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
first
about
what
we're
doing
right
now.
As
Dr
acapo
said
there,
you
can't
walk
in
a
building
on
the
University's
campus
without
every
time
I
go
in
a
building,
I
see
something
different
that
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
Right
now,
we've
got
21
projects
underway,
we're
working
on
a
campus
master
plan.
That's
scheduled
to
be
completed
by
the
fall
of
2023..
It's
Mom
like
on.
J
There
was
a
roofing
pool
that
Kentucky
State
University
received
in
the
21-22
budget.
It
was
a
five
million
dollar
appropriation.
Three
roofs
have
been
completed
so
far
and
we'll
have
at
least
three
more
roofs
under
contract
by
this
fall,
and
that
will
finish
using
all
of
the
the
appropriation
from
the
roof
pool
some
of
the
projects
I've
started.
Just
since
I've
been
at
Kentucky
State
University,
which
is
March
1st
with
asset
preservations.
J
As
Dr
acapo
said
we
have.
We
have
a
lot
of
water
infiltration
issues
on
the
campus,
even
the
building
that
his
poor
office
is
in
it's
it's.
It's
sad
I've
got
pictures,
you'll,
see
them
in
a
minute,
so
we're
working
on
getting
our
buildings
dry
I
mean
we're
not
trying
to
make
Taj.
Mahal
is
out
of
these
buildings.
J
What
my
plan
is
to
make
them
dry
and
and
maintenance
free
with
the
limited
Staffing
that
we
have
and
the
limited
resources
of
all
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
just
really
address
all
of
the
Deferred
maintenance
that
that's
happened.
We
are
working
with
the
finance
cabinet
on
a
residence
hall
renovation.
J
We've
we're
in
the
procurement
process
to
hire
a
Consulting
team
that
will
help
us
identify
our
priorities
to
address
a
lot
of
issues
in
our
residence
Halls
elevators,
one
elevator
that
I
know
of
in
particular,
has
been
down
for
two
years
in
one
of
our
residence
Halls,
the
students
when
they
move
in
and
they
go
to
the
second
third
floor.
J
Everything
goes
up
the
steps
the
elevator
does
not
work
and
has
not
worked
for
two
years
from
what
I
understand
the
the
parts
needed
to
to
fix
the
elevator
are
outdated
and
you
cannot
find
them
so
we
need
a
complete
elevator
overhaul.
So
we've
started
a
project.
That's
one
of
our
priorities
to
to
address
elevator
issues
to
Dr
acapo's
Point
walkway
improvements.
It's
it.
You
walk
around
campus
and
you
you
just
see
rebar
just
sticking
at
sticking
out
the
steps
in
the
sidewalks,
so
we're
working
on
a
walkway
renovation
project.
J
J
Some
of
the
projects
we're
working
on
and
that
we're
working
towards
with
the
current
asset
preservation
funding
is
Jackson
Hall.
It's
the
iconic
building
that
you
see
right
here
actually
in
in
the
logo
for
Kentucky
State
University,
currently,
there's
literally
bricks
falling
off
of
the
building
and
with
just
with
roof
issues.
The
building
isn't
even
occupied
at
the
time
and
KSU
received
a
Federal
Grant
and
we're
going
to
supplement
that,
with
asset
preservation
funds
to
get
that
building
back
to
the
way
it
needs
to
be
Exum
Center.
J
When
I
heard
EKU
talking
about
their
their
Center.
It
reminded
me
of
the
Exum
Center
and
the
how
it's
a
multi-purpose-
and
it
serves
I
mean
it's
more
than
an
Athletic
Facility.
It's
it's
the
main
building,
because
the
community
does
use
the
XM
center
now
in
Frankfurt,
especially
with
the
loss
of
the
Civic
Center.
I
know
the
governor's
prayer
breakfast
was
held
there
this
year,
KSU
has
their
graduation
there.
J
You'll
see
this
in
some
of
the
pictures
I'm
going
to
share
we're
looking
at
doing
a
window
project,
it's
another
part
of
making
sure
that
all
of
our
buildings
are
drought
in,
and
energy
loss
with
the
windows,
mechanical
electrical
and
plumbing
upgrades
most
of
the
buildings,
I
think
to
Dr
Capo's
point:
they
have
the
original
infrastructure
in
them,
and
so
it's
it's
constantly
a
race
of
getting
piping
fixed.
J
We
had
a
the
the
Betty
White
building
that
Dr
Capo
spoke,
of
which
houses
our
nursing
program
was
without
air
conditioning
because
of
just
piping
that
was
failing
and
we
couldn't
get
the
chilled
water
through
the
pipes
for
the
for
the
air
conditioning.
So
we
we
put
a
Band-Aid
on
it,
but
but
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
done
and
continue
to
to
replace
roofs
on
the
campus,
but
the
you
can
see
some
of
the
pictures.
J
I
don't
know
how
well
you
can
see
through
the
pictures,
but
I
mean
there's,
there's
lots
of
stairs
in
on
the
campus
in
this
condition.
With
this,
the
rebar
showing
this
is
Jackson
Hall
These,
Bricks
laying
on
the
roof
are
supposed
to
be
up
here
on
the
top
of
the
building,
so
that
that's
a
major
priority
and
Dr
copper
and
I've
been
meeting
since
he's
been
on
board
to
to
move
forward
with
these
projects
the
the
water
infiltration.
J
These
two
pictures
are
in
a
residence
hall.
These
first
two
pictures
from
the
water
that's
coming.
So
this
is
a
this
picture
on
the
left
is
a
is
a
room.
That's
been
Offline
that
KSU
has
not
been
able
to
receive
the
revenue
on
due
to
the
water
infiltration
in
the
the
subsequent
damage.
The
far
right
picture
is
actually
in
the
library,
and
that
is
was
at
one
time
carpet
that
has
has
been
pretty
much
destroyed.
We've
we've
worked
a
roof
project
at
Blazer
Library.
J
J
This
is
the
the
historic
building
that
Dr
acapo's
office
is
in
this
from
what
I
understand
has
been
going
on
for
a
little
while
it's
not
a
new
problem,
so
we
have
a
project
started
to
address
this
and
then
fix
all
the
damage.
That's
come
from
it
Windows
this
one
actually
just
has
a
trash
bag
on
it
in
the
middle,
because
there
there's
no
window
there.
J
Is
this
a
research
project
in
this
window
with
the
stuff
that's
growing
between
the
two
panes,
so
we're
looking
at
window
projects
across
campus,
for,
for
these
reasons
and
and
for
energy,
just
an
overview
of
our
priorities
for
the
for
the
upcoming
biennium
as
Dr
coppo
spoke
the
new
health
science
facility
and
it's
currently
in
a
50
year
old
building,
and
it
was
the
campuses
original
infirmary,
there's
lack
of
adequate
teaching
and
learning
spaces,
and
the
a
new
facility
would
allow
this
program
to
grow
substantially
for
the
for
the
University.
J
We're
looking
at
upgrading-
and
this
says
housing
facilities.
But
it's
it's
all.
Facilities
across
campus
I
mean
it's
hard
to
recruit
when,
when
potential
students
walk
into
to
dorm
rooms
and
see,
some
of
the
pictures
like
like
I've,
showed
you
so
we're
making
every
effort
right.
Now
we
can
to
make
as
many
changes
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
then
a
long-term
plan
for
for
how
these
residence
halls
and
all
the
buildings
we.
As
someone
else
said
before
us,
I
mean
we
need
to
preserve
the
buildings
we
have
for
for
everyone
on
campus.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
mean
Dr
Tabo,
I
know
this
is
not
necessarily
your
fault.
As
you've
said,
you've
only
been
on
the
job
for
10
days,
but
I
mean
I
I.
Guess
we've
read
some
of
the
stories
at
least
about
one
of
your
predecessors.
You
know
flying
down
to
you,
know
islands
for
football
or
basketball
games,
and
things
like
that
I
mean
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
lack
of
oversight
as
to
why
it
was
allowed
to
get
this
bad.
K
K
H
We've
Senator
thank
you
for
the
question.
We've
gone
through
one
first
phase
or
two
phases
of
a
reformed
Oddity,
so
we
have
had
some
reduction
in
force,
but
you
know
my
goal
coming
to
this
institution
is
not
to
Look
Back
to
the
Future.
The
damage
is
already
done
and
I
can
tell
you.
I
took
a
weekend
just
walking
through
all
our
buildings
and
I
could
not
control
my
tears.
It
was
sad
you
saw
the
building
where
the
president
is
housed.
H
It's
just
like
completely
abandoned,
so
here's
Mike
and
Andrew
we're
going
to
fix
the
financial
problem.
I
give
you
my
word
for
it:
we're
going
to
address
the
control
system
problem
internally
and
we
need
to
grow
enrollment
and
all
of
us
in
this
room
are
parents.
Would
you
take
your
child
to
the
environment.
K
H
Me
I
would
not
allow
it
actually.
What
I've
been
doing
is
sit
down
with
all
the
entities
that
we
have
contract
with.
If
I
need
to
cancel
any
contract,
I
have
done
it
so
far
and
I'm
still
going
to
be
doing
it.
As
I
said
we're
going
to
balance
the
budget,
we
will
balance
it.
We
will
tighten
the
control
system
internally,
but
what
I'm
asking
of
you
all
is
Help
Me
Grow
enrollment.
H
Yesterday
I
was
before
another
committee
and
I
gave
them
this
analogy.
The
the
capacity
we
have
is
comparable
to
us
flying
a
Boeing
747.
with
20
passengers
on
board.
You
still
have
to
pay
for
pilot.
You
still
have
to
pay
for
fuel.
You
still
have
to
pay
for
maintenance.
So
what
we
need
now
is
to
increase
the
number
of
passengers
we
have,
so
we
can
break
even
and
also
be
able
to
take
care
of
some
of
the
problems
ourselves,
but
right
now,
I
desperately
need
your
help.
L
Yes,
I'm,
looking
over
here
on
the
residence
hall
project
that
was
indicated
on
the
back
page
99,
complete
and
I
heard
you
talking
about
residence
hall,
other
stuff
and
now
we're
talking
about
increasing
enrollment.
So
is
this
that
project
that
was
that
giant
new
dorm
P3
or
is
this
something
different?
This.
L
Renovations
or
improvements,
so
can
you
explain
to
me
because
I'm
I've
been
a
little
bit
confused
the
whole
entire
time
about
the
residency
situation?
We
heard
that
we
didn't
even
have
enough
hotel
rooms
for
all
the
students
and
we
had
to
build
this
new
Hall
and
we
had
to
build
it
like
overnight
and
that's
what
made
us
decide
to
go
for
this
massively
overpriced
residence,
P3
plan
and
I
said
well.
I,
don't
see
how
in
the
world,
students
are
going
to
be
able
for
the
dorms,
so
they're
not
going
to
stay
there.
L
Even
if
it's
built
that
was
my
prediction
now
I
like
the
idea
of
renovating
the
Halls
that
we
have,
but
where
does
that
put
us
in
total
overall
capacity,
because
we're
talking
about
now
not
having
nearly
enough
students
for
all
the
capacity
we
have
now
and
I?
Don't
know
if
enrollments
changed
a
whole
lot,
since
the
last
numbers
I
knew
so.
Can
you
just
maybe
talk
about?
What's
going
to
be
the
overall
footprint?
How
much
of
it
is
at
case
you
own?
H
H
When
I
look
look
at
down
the
budget,
it
makes
me
cry
it's
another
burden
on
this
institution,
so
I
hear
you
clearly.
Are
we
going
to
be
able
to
feel
it?
Yes,
that's
my
goal.
As
of
this
morning,
fall
enrollment
is
up
140
students,
so
my
goal
I'm
determined,
is
to
grow
enrollment.
But
again,
as
I
said,
my
fear
is,
we
don't
have
a
place
for
instruct
to
instruct
them,
because
the
nursing
building
as
I
said
earlier,
is
an
old
Infirmary
built
50
years
ago,
as
I
speak
to
you
right
now.
The
air
conditioned
system.
H
Air
conditioning
system
is
not
working,
and
yet
we
spend
money
to
buy
mannequin
and
other
expensive
stuff
in
that
building.
So
we
can
be
here
talk
all
we
want
about
the
past
I'm
here.
My
hope
is
to
draw
the
line
and
move
us
forward
and
you'll
see
for
yourself.
But
again,
all
I'm
asking
is
effort,
is
some
help,
so
I
can
get
this
institution
in
a
better
place.
L
H
J
M
I
think
our
current,
our
current
number
is
1232
students
for
all
residential
beds
in
the
halls
and
that's
with
everything
being
online.
We
have
some
that
aren't
online
due
to
the
renovation
that
you
just
heard
about.
L
H
L
H
M
In
terms
of
the
number
of
beds,
I
can
get
that
information
back
to
you,
but
we
do
have.
Some
of
them
are
related
to
the
HVAC
systems.
So
you
know
it's
not
that
the
we
we
wouldn't
want
to
put
students
in
there
with
extreme
heat
or
have
bad
circulation,
because
we
don't
want
to
create
the
opportunity
for
an
unhealthy
situation,
so
the
the
HVAC
systems
are
being
are
renovated
in
rooms
and
and
dorms
are
being
extreme
extremely
cleaned.
M
So
we
can
have
preparation
and
have
students
be
able
to
come
in
in
the
fall
of
this
year.
M
I
am
so
sorry,
that's
okay,
my
name
is
Michael
Daly
I
am
the
interim
Provost
vice
president
for
academic
and
student
affairs.
A
N
Get
started
so
I,
like
my
like
my
colleagues
before
me,
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
capital
funding
you've
provided
in
the
last
binding,
especially
we
really
needed
that
we
have
put
it
to
good
use
like
like
the
others.
We've
got
about
25
projects
under
underway
right
now,
probably
about
70
percent
complete
and
about
to
start
the
next
biennium
about
20
million
worth
for
next
buying
him.
So,
but
we
but
but
the
needs
are
great.
N
E
N
So
our
master
plan
is
really
for
provide
quality
education
for
our
students
in
our
service
region
across
Kentucky
at
the
lowest
cost
we
can
so.
Our
master
plan
has
four
tenants
and
it's
it's
basically.
We
we
want
to
reduce
our
footprint
as
we
build
new
we're
going
to
take
old
buildings,
offline
and
so
you'll
see
through
our
Capital
requests
that
that's
the
that's
a
basic
tenant.
We
want
to
enhance
existing
facilities
that
we
have
upgrade.
N
N
We've
already
been
doing
that
we've
raised
or
disposed
of
13
buildings
over
140
000
square
feet,
which
helps
us
reduce
our
operational
costs
and
be
good
stewards,
we're
disposed
of
150
acres
and
and
use
this
the
proceeds
from
the
sales
to
reduce
our
debt
in
our
Capital
six
year,
Capital
plan
here
we're
going
to
have
about
30
projects
that
are
asset
preservation
entirely
as
a
preservation,
two
projects
for
a
new
construction
and
those
will
replace
other
facilities
so
we'll
get
into
that
number.
N
One
request
is
for
a
new
multi-disciplinary
classroom
building
we'd
like
to
construct
120
000
square
feet,
more
energy
efficient
facility
right
there
on
our
campus
on
a
on
a
site.
That's
already
there
we're
not
purchasing
new
property,
all
the
utilities
are
available
and
we
would
take
multiple
buildings
offline.
Where
this
to
be
funded,
our
classroom,
our
inventory
of
classrooms,
is,
you
can
see.
Two
two
of
the
buildings
are
pre-1930..
N
Eight
of
the
buildings
pre-1970
our
newest
building
is-
and
these
are
entirely
classrooms-
is
about
15
years
old
and
it's
it's
a
smaller
building,
so
we're
our
classroom
facilities
are,
are
really
getting
outdated.
Our
average
age
of
our
classroom
facility
is
65
years
old,
our
oldest
one's
98
at
our
young
and
our
newest
one's
about
15
years
old.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
accessibility
issues.
Technology
issues
MEP
needs
are,
are
tremendous.
N
I'll
just
show
you
a
few
pictures,
just
kind
of
give
you
a
feel
of
what
some
of
the
classroom
spaces
that
we'd
like
to
replace
the
accessibility
issues,
just
outdated,
outdated
type
facilities.
So
that's
our
number
one
request.
Our
number
two
request
is
for
to
renovate
Bert
Combs
building.
Burke
comes
is
built
in
the
mid
50s
and
we've
had
it
on
as
a
number
one
or
two
priority
requests
to
renovate
for
15
or
20
years.
We've
really
had
a
top
ranked
one,
and
so
it's
been
on
there
so
long.
N
N
However,
number
three
would
be
a
new
business
classroom.
Building
that
would
house
the
functions
that
are
in
Bert
com.
So
if
we
were
to
get
funded
for
number
three,
we
would
take
Bert
Combs
offline
and
so
that'd
be
a
65
000
square
feet.
We
think
we
can
reduce
the
square
footage
and
still
serve
the
need
for
our
business
building.
Basically,
Burke
homes
houses
our
business
technology
program.
N
So
that's
really
our
our
third
request
in
our,
and
so
if
we
got
the
third
request,
number
two
would
go
away
and
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
site
needs
on
campus
electrically.
We
have
basically
two
circuits
at
V
campus
we've
we've
renovated
about
10
years
ago.
N
N
Put
it
all
underground,
get
into
all
new
equipment
and
then
don't
have
a
slide
for
it,
but
on
the
agency
bonds
we
are
requesting
we're
starting
to
think
more
about
our
our
housing
stock,
and
so
we
have
a
couple
requests
on
there
for
new
residence
Halls
that
would
be
agency.
Bond
funded,
we've
not
gone
into
the
P3
situation
and
and
don't
really
plan
to
we'd
we'd,
probably
we're
trying
to
get
our
debt
ratio
to
a
point
where
we
can
handle
the
taking
on
the
bonding.
N
A
N
K
N
K
Know
I
was
a
graduate
at
UK
law
school,
which
is
a
hideous
building,
but
the
new
one
is
just
as
bad
as
I
mean
I.
Probably
they
had
a
beautiful
Georgian
design
that
they
were
looking
at
and
I.
Don't
know
what
happened?
I
guess
you
know,
I,
guess
one
of
the
architecture
Department
got
a
hold
of
it.
N
O
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
having
us
today:
I'm
Bob,
Jackson
I'm,
president
of
Murray,
State,
University
and
I'm
here
today,
with
Jackie
Dudley,
our
senior
Vice
President
of
Finance
and
administrative
services
and
Jordan
Smith,
our
executive
director
of
governmental
and
institutional
relations.
So
thank
you
for
having
us,
but,
most
importantly,
thank
you
for
especially
those
of
you
who
were
intimately
involved
in
the
process
of
supporting
Murray
State
over
the
last
several
years.
O
The
funding,
especially
asset
preservation,
funding,
which
you've
heard
a
lot
about
today
and
you'll,
hear
a
bit
more
about
in
the
next
just
few
minutes.
That
is
some
of
the
best
appropriated
monies
I
think
that
the
legislature
has
has
advanced
and
put
forward
for
many
years.
Murray
State
has
focused
on
access
and
affordability.
We
continue
to
focus
on
access
and
affordability,
high
quality,
academic
programs
and.
O
Be
talking
about
asset
preservation,
the
importance
of
asset
preservation
and
there
you
go
advancing
projects
that
are
that
are
focused
on
both
modernization,
preservation,
efficiency,
as
well
as
life,
safety
and
and
energy
efficiency
issues,
as
everyone
on
this
board
knows
and
knows
quite
well
inflationary
pressures
of
the
last
several
years.
O
Supply
and
labor
availability
has
caused
a
number
of
issues,
so
we
will
talk
about
that
for
just
a
bit
as
well
and
needs
that
that
we
have
in
those
particular
areas,
as
well
as
the
construction
of
a
new
facility
going
forward
that
we
will
advance
that
will
assist
us
learning
Commons
to
be
located
in
our
housing
area.
That
will
support
retention
that
will
support
recruiting
that
will
ultimately
support
graduation
of
our
students.
It's.
P
O
Component
of
our
University
that
we
really
don't
have
today,
that's
vitally
important
in
in
the
academic
world,
we're
in
today.
O
So
can
we
put
that
on
slideshow?
Maybe
so
I
can
see
all
of
it.
I'll
touch
on
the
first
four
items,
I
think,
most
importantly
as
well,
so
the
very
very
first
item
these
are.
These
are
the
top
four
items.
Q
O
O
We
were
about
34
million
dollars
short
in
regard
to
that,
so
we
have
to
do
less
of
those
projects
so
that
that
is
the
issue
as
as
we
go
forward
that
we'll
be
addressing,
as
it
relates
to
asset
preservation,
one
if
you
will
in
regard
to
those
pressures
placed
on
us
and
the
shortage
that
we
have
in
addressing
those
items
again.
These
are
all
items
you've
heard
this
said
many
times
today.
Already
you
don't
cut
ribbons
on
them.
You
you.
O
You
don't
really
do
anything
but
celebrate
the
good
work
and
the
advancement
of
those
particular
projects,
but
that
was
our
phase
one
at
Murray
State
University.
The
second
item
is
a
new
facility
that
was
appropriated
in
in
the
2022
session
as
well:
a
new
school
of
nursing
and
Health
Professions,
building
a
vitally
important
facility,
a
vitally
important
academic
program
and
programs
at
Murray,
State
University.
O
So
for
those
same
reason,
phase
two
of
that
of
that
project
will
be
about
11.6
million
dollars
to
build
the
building
that
was
originally
planned
three
or
four
years
ago,
and
that's
how
much
these
inflationary
pressures
have
changed
as
it
relates
to
this
phase.
Two
initiative:
the
next
item.
We
would
ask
again
the
legislature
to
consider,
as
this
board,
to
advance
additional
asset
preservation
dollars,
which
you
know
we
can
continue
to
address
the
needs
that
that
we
have
at
Murray
State,
as
well
as
all
of
our
institutions
in
the
Commonwealth.
O
Those
of
you
that
haven't
that
have
not
been
on
our
campus,
so
we're
100
years
old
and
many
of
our
buildings
are
100
years
old
or
approaching
that
and
that's
where
these
monies
are
invested.
In
order
that
we
can
preserve
them,
take
care
of
them,
Advance
them
for
the
years
to
come,
for
the
intended
purpose
and
teaching
and
learning
areas.
So
this
60
million
dollars
is
vitally
important
as
we
identify
those
next
phases
for
those
additional
projects
and
item.
Four
is
a
new
learning,
Commons
area
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
O
O
Just
some
quick
pictures
of
this
is
the
work
that's
being
done,
and
it's
work
that
typically
no
one
sees.
This
is
not
visible
for
the
most
part,
issues
that
you
would
see
if
you
visit
our
campus,
possibly
the
windows
there
in
the
middle,
but
the
rest
of
this
is
the
infrastructure
running
the
university
HVAC
Electrical
Plumbing
on
and
on
that
must
be
replaced
at
some
point
in
time
and
again,
some
of
this
dates
back
90
to
100
years
as
well.
So
this
is
the
work.
O
That's
that's
been
done
with
the
asset
preservation
monies
that
were
appropriated
to
us.
A
study
was
done
a
few
years
ago
for
all
of
the
universities
in
the
Commonwealth
and
at
Murray
State
University,
the
asset
preservation
needs
or
deferred
maintenance
needs
were
about
450
million
dollars
and
and
we
were
in
better
shape
than
many
institutions
in
in
that
regard.
So
it's
these
are
big
numbers
that
we're
all
dealing
with
in
order
to
preserve
our
campuses.
O
O
68.9
million
would
be
approximately
two
new
facilities
in
those
areas,
College
courts
or
apartment
style
housing.
Again,
all
of
this
would
be
funded
by
the
university
through
an
authorized
bond
issue
that
the
legislature
would
approve
these
have,
these
are
probably
all
reauthorizations
for
the
most
part
item.
Three
20
million
dollars
would
be
funded
with
privately
funded
monies.
These
are
athletic
enhancements
to
our
athletic
facilities
and
then
asset
preservation
pool
for
residence,
Halls
again
an
agency
bond
issue,
but
these
these
monies
would
take
care
of
existing
residence
Halls.
O
Just
some
quick
pictures.
This
is
how
the
asset
preservation
money
that
has
been
appropriated
to
us
has
been
invested.
Our
current
Center
is,
is
our
Student
Center
and
it
I'm
a
Kentucky
I've
been
here
a
long
time.
I
was
a
freshman
in
the
fall
of
1981.
This
building
just
opened
and
as
I
walked
on
this
campus
and
so
we're
doing
a
major
renovation
to
the
current
Center.
So
the
first
major
renovation
that's
been
done
since
1981,
again
for
the
benefit
of
our
students,
our
region
retention,
recruiting
all
the
things
that
are
vitally
important
today.
O
As
we
advance
this
Commonwealth
rather
haul,
the
original
building
on
our
campus,
a
renovation,
was
just
completed.
Utilizing
asset
preservation,
dollars
appropriated
to
us
as
well
as
monies
that
we
sold
bonds.
For
many
of
you
will
know
that
there
was
a
match
component
for
the
asset
preservation
process
and
we
we
did
about
a
12
million
dollar
bond
issue
to
match
those
funds,
and
so
some
of
those
funds
were
invested
in
this
particular
building
as
well
love
it
Auditorium
the
same
thing
using
Murray,
State,
University
funds
from
our
bond
sale
as
well
as
asset
preservation
funds.
O
This
was
phase
two
phase.
One
was
completed
about
a
year
ago,
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
This
phase
was
just
completed.
So
this
building,
which
is
really
our
Performing
Arts
Center,
but
it's
used
for
our
region
for
all
types
of
speakers
and
presidents
have
spoken
here
and
and
Generals
and
Admirals
and
and
as
well
as
it's
used
for
teaching
and
learning
purposes
on
our
campus.
O
Each
and
every
day
these
are
projects
being
really
targeted,
as
we
speak,
or
either
in
process
have
been
done
or
will
be
done
with
asset
preservation
dollars
or
funding
from
our
our
own
monies.
Our
own
institution,
Mason
Hall's,
our
existing
nursing
Hall,
so
about
a
12
million
dollar
renovation,
deferred
maintenance
project.
We
just
awarded
that
particular
con
or
actually
just
hired
Architects
Engineers.
For
that
particular
yes
project.
O
We
have
a
large
school
of
Agriculture,
as,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
Hudson
School
of
Agriculture,
one
of
the
largest
in
the
Commonwealth,
and
this
this
building
as
well.
We
just
awarded
both
the
engineering
and
the
architectural
contracts
for
this
particular
project,
both
about
12
million
dollars.
O
So
you'll
see
the
rest
of
these
projects
that
this
is
how
we're
investing
the
asset
preservation
dollars,
as
well
as
our
12
million
dollar
bond
issue
for
deferred
maintenance
and
asset
preservation
as
well,
and
those
will
total
about
the
monies
almost
exactly
what
the
monies
are
that
have
been
appropriated
to
us.
O
So
as
as
we
go
forward
to
the
2024
General
Assembly,
we're
talking
about
you
know,
General
funding
of
capital,
renewal,
project,
deferred
maintenance,
asset
preservation,
money.
We
would
appreciate
the
consideration
of
those
funds
once
again,
it's
vitally
important
to
us
as
again
as
we
upgrade
and
modernize
and
and
and
deal
with
daily
issues
on
our
campus
on
any
given
day.
We
have
about
200
projects
that
we're
working
on
at
Murray,
State
University
in
this
particular
area.
O
The
second
item
is
the
reauthorization
or
of
the
agency
Bond
projects
primarily
for
housing,
using
fees
that
that
come
to
the
university
for
this
regard
or
privately
funded
monies
that
come
to
the
university
is.
The
third
item
also
called
agency
bonds
as
well.
So
those
are
the
three
three
real
big
items
that
we'll
focus
on
and
that
concept
and
and
we'd
appreciate
your
consideration
in
those
particular
areas.
I
O
L
I
want
to
go
into
the
last
thing
that
you
just
talked
about,
which
was
the
authorization
for
and
you're
calling
agency
bonds,
a
combination
of
both
University
and
Norm
private
donations
or
whatever
so
I
misread
your
slide.
As
I
was
listening
to
you
talk
and
then
it
made
me
think
of
something
else
and
I'm
wondering
because
I
see
a
lot
of
these,
particularly
with
the
universities,
a
lot
of
these
privately
funded
and
and
it's
like.
Okay,
we've
got
20
million
dollars,
but
we
want
to
do
a
40
million
dollar
project.
L
So
my
first
question
is:
can
we
do
a
project,
that's
very
valuable
for
20
million
dollars
and
then
in?
If
that's
the
case,
sure
that's
a
really
easy
ask
I
want
to
know.
Do
you
have
projects
that
you're
looking
at
that
are
100
privately
funded,
that
we
can
literally
check
off
the
list
and
then
in
the
way
that
I
misread
this?
L
Is
that
something
that
you
would
say
is
helpful?
I
know
that
from
the
University
perspective,
I'm
sorry
I'm
tangling
up
three
different
questions
here
from
the
University
perspective.
Perhaps
it's
not
fun
to
come
up
here
every
year
and
say
we
have
money
in
our
bank
account
or
are
we
allowed
to
spend
it?
L
But
if
you
have
privately
100
privately
funded
projects,
we
just
almost
blow
those
off
like
okay.
Those
are
easy.
We
don't
even
have
to
do
anything
and
is
that
something
that
maybe
you're
looking
at
or
asking
for
or
you
were
not
asking
for
us
to
literally
change
procurement
to
where
you
can
use
your
private
dollars
well,.
O
Senator
I
understand
the
question
very
well.
So
when
you
talk
about
agency
bonds,
the
the
item
number
one
and
two
are
either
the
replacement
of
existing
housing
or
new
housing.
So
these
are
agency
bonds
that
we
would
would
issue
and
authorize
utilizing
funds
that
come
to
the
university
in
in
regard
to
fees
that
that
exist
item
number
three
athletic
are
privately
donated
funds.
O
So
if
we
do
a
20
million
dollar
bond
issue,
I
promise
you
we're
going
to
have
20
million
dollars
in
projects,
not
40.,
and
so
obviously
we
understand
that
many
many
of
these
would
be
deferred
maintenance,
related
or
facility
enhancement
to
to
athletic
facilities
that,
in
some
are
very,
very
old
as
well
so
privately
funded
dollars
really
support
athletic
programs
at
most
institutions.
Today
and
that's
the
case
here,
we
would
do
a
bond
issue
for
20
million.
L
O
O
A
If
you'd
like
to
announce
yourself
for
the
record,
please.
R
S
E
R
Okay,
good
afternoon,
co-chair
Tate
and
Wheeler
and
distinguished
members
of
the
capital
planning
Advisory
Board.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today
regarding
the
exciting
progress
we
are
making
in
NKU
with
updating
our
physical
facilities
and
to
thank
you
for
your
past
generous
support
and
to
request
your
support
of
similar
future
projects
at
NKU.
We
are
Guided
by
our
strategic
plan,
success
by
Design
to
ensure
our
students
are
at
the
center
of
all
of
our
planning
activities
to
be
responsive
to
their
needs
to
singularly
focus
on
Student
Success.
R
By
focusing
on
how
we
deliver
support
and
services
to
all
Learners,
not
just
traditional
students,
we
hope
to
support
students
at
all
stages
of
their
academic
Journey,
while
connecting
their
future
to
careers
in
our
Northern
Kentucky
Region
I'm
happy
to
report
that
NKU
has
has
more
than
77
000
alumni
in
our
Short
History,
including
1900
May
2023
graduates
who
joined
these
ranks.
82
percent
of
these
individuals
stay
in
our
region
and
46
percent
of
students
arrive
to
NKU
with
some
college
credit.
R
R
In
our
most
recent
master
plan,
we
continue
to
focus
on
repurposing
Legacy
Buildings,
to
support
new
ways
of
learning
and
engaging
students,
while
promoting
opportunities
for
student
engagement
and
eliminating
Capital
renewal
issues.
A
focus
on
increasing
science,
labs
and
opportunity
for
stem
plus
H
Careers
continues
to
be
a
focus
to
meet
student
demand
and
Regional
Workforce
needs.
R
You
can
see
some
of
the
pictures
there
of
the
floor
heaving,
for
example,
between
two
to
seven
inch
drops
in
the
floor
dirt
due
to
the
Shale
base
underneath
the
buildings.
So,
in
addition
to
these
building
updates,
we
continue
to
utilize.
This
funding
to
address
campus
infrastructure
needs
it's
the
next
slide,
such
as
replacing
steel
gas
lines,
water
lines
and
other
aging
infrastructure
systems,
critical
to
maintain
and
support
campus
operations.
Many
of
these
items
are
original
to
the
construction
of
our
campus
and
well
beyond
their
useful
lives.
R
As
many
of
my
colleagues
have
shared
today,
critical
Building
Systems,
such
as
roofs,
elevators,
fire
safety
systems
and
facade
repairs
are
also
underway
due
to
funding
provided
to
NKU
from
the
Commonwealth,
but
about
two
million
dollars
of
funding
continues
to
address.
Campus
grounds
needs
included
much
needed
Paving
projects
that
were
actually
underway,
as
we
left
campus
today,
our
generous
Capital
project,
the
expansion
of
the
Hermann
Science
Center,
is
currently
in
the
design
phase
and
will
help
address
an
urgent
need
of
stem
plus,
h,
laboratory
and
classroom
space
on
campus
to
meet
future
Workforce
needs
altogether.
R
R
The
impact
of
inflation
is
real
and
continues
to
weigh
on
all
of
our
projects,
but
we're
managing
this
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
As
many
of
our
colleagues
said
today,
and
we
have
seen
some
relief
in
certain
trades
and
in
certain
projects,
we
appreciate
the
time
to
provide
this
update
and
thank
you
again
for
your
past
and
generous
support
and
would
be
happy
to
address
any
questions
that
you
have.
T
T
Yes,
yes,
sorry
about
that,
we
are
really
looking
forward
to
this
fall
and
next
month
we're
looking
forward
to
our
largest
first
time,
Freshman
Class
of
6400
students
and
our
largest
enrollment
of
about
33
000
students.
Last
month,
our
Board
of
Trustees
approved
our
largest
budget
ever
at
6.8
billion
dollars.
As
you
know,
the
University
of
Kentucky
includes
many
aspects
that
other
institutions
would
have
outside
their
institution.
T
The
largest
part
of
ours
is
UK,
Health
Care,
the
hospital
system
itself,
and
it's
got
a
budget
this
year
of
over
four
billion
dollars,
and
while
we
go
through
this
presentation
and
you'll
see
that
our
asks
are
very
big.
The
needs
of
Kentucky,
especially
when
it
comes
to
Health
Care,
are
large,
and
so
a
lot
of
it
that
we're
asking
for
is
legislative
authorization
as
well
as
some
State
funding
for
our
instructional
and
research
missions
of
the
institution.
T
Now
I'm
going
to
first
talk
about
the
four
top
priorities
of
the
institution
and
then
Mary's
going
to
talk
through
each
individual
project,
but
the
first
and
the
third
projects
are
actually
not
in
our
six-year
Capital
plan
because
they
are.
These
are
reauthorization
projects.
These
are
projects
we've
actually
started
with
at
the
beginning
of
the
design
phase,
but
we
are
asking
for
increased
project
Scopes
and,
of
course,
the
accompanying
funding
to
go
along
with
it.
The
first
one,
the
construct
improved
medical
administrative
facility.
This
is
an
expansion
of
the
Chandler
Medical
Center.
T
This
project
is
going
to
be
two
billion
dollars.
Yes,
it's
very
large.
We
are
going
to
be
asking
for
legislative
authorization
of
800
million
of
agency
bonds,
for
which
the
university
will
be
response
possible
for
that
debt,
service
and
1.2
billion
dollars
of
restricted
funds
or
university
cash.
The
third
project,
the
construct
agriculture
research
facility,
is
also
a
reauthorization.
We
are
currently
starting
the
design
phase
for
that
project.
I
U
Bed,
Tower
of
about
700
beds.
We
need
that
for
the
expanding
Health,
Care
need
and
the
Commonwealth
and
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
do
this
project
in
Lexington.
Our
design
teams
are
currently
underway
right
now
we
are
expecting
completion
of
this
project,
which
is
very
aggressive
by
the
way
to
be
completed
mid-2029.
So
that
seems
like
six
years
away.
We
have
plenty
of
time,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
have
to
do
prior
to
that
to
provide
the
space
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
construct
this
bed
Tower.
U
U
now
moving
on
to
asset
preservation,
which,
as
all
of
the
previous
institutions
have
said,
has
been
a
huge
huge
gift
to
our
institutions
and
couldn't
have
come
soon
enough
for
all
of
us,
I
think
but
much
like
all
the
other
schools
have
mentioned.
This
is
about
preserving
and
extending
the
life
of
our
existing
facilities,
improving
utilization
of
space
and
really
looking
for
us
of
creating
spaces
that
are
responding
to
Kentucky's
Workforce
needs,
especially
in
the
stem
disciplines,
which
are
science,
technology,
engineering,
math
and
health.
U
We
also
want
to
create
better
spaces
to
increase
research
collaboration,
and
we
often
think
about
research
collaboration
with
our
faculty
and
staff,
but
our
students
are
very
involved
in
these
research
collaborations
as
well,
and
it
really
gives
our
students
an
opportunity
to
experience
that
while
they
are
in
school
as
they're
moving
forward
to
their
careers
in
the
future.
So
we're
very
proud
of
that
and
we
have
some
facilities
that
are
already
some
teaching
Labs.
If
you
will
research
labs
for
our
students,
but
we're
looking
to
be
able
to
create
that
space
a
little
bit
more.
U
We
obviously,
as
you've
heard
from
the
other
schools
as
well
have
a
great
need
to
manage
repair
and
maintenance
costs,
and
we
are
an
institution
of
almost
20
million
square
feet.
There's
a
lot
going
on.
We
have
buildings
that
date
back
well
into
the
1800s
and
they
are
in
just
as
neat
as
some
of
the
some
of
the
buildings
that
are
1940
1950s.
U
So
we
look
at
all
of
those
some
of
those
buildings
when
we're
looking
at
asset
preservation,
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
repurpose
some
of
those
facilities
also
to
address
the
current
disciplines
that
we're
seeing
in
higher
education
today,
upgrading
our
infrastructure.
Also,
we
have
a
district
Energy
System
on
our
campus
miles
and
miles
and
miles
of
utilities
and
tunnels
underground
I'm
sure
you
were
talking
about
septic
tanks.
This
morning
we
have
been
thoroughly
engaged
in
sewer
lines
lately
and
you
know
they
have.
They
have
been
failing.
U
It
seemed
to
be
a
summer
of
sewer
lines
for
us,
but
these
asset
preservation
funds
are
huge
for
us
when
we're
able
to
have
those
funds
to
be
able
to
do
that.
It
helps
us
in
reducing
our
energy
costs,
also
with
all
the
projects
that
we're
doing
and
it
really
it.
You
know
you
heard
earlier
about
energy
conservation
when
we're
able
to
do
that.
U
That
helps
us
to
direct
funds
to
manage
ever
increasing
utility
costs
as
well
and
so,
and
we
always
are
looking
to
manage
our
energy
in
the
most
effective
way
that
we
can
to
update
you
on
our
existing
asset
preservation
projects,
we're
improving
our
multi-disciplinary
science
building.
That's
a
project
that
we
have
assigned
15
million
to
of
those
funds,
we're
expecting
that
to
be
completed
next
summer,
White
Hall,
classroom
building.
If
any
of
you
have
had
the
pleasure
of
going
to
school
at
the
University
of
Kentucky,
you
have
had
a
class
in
Whitehall
classroom
building.
U
U
Pence
Hall
is
a
project
where
the
College
of
design
is
currently
located
and
there
they
are
moving
to
a
project
that
we've
been
working
on.
That
will
be
finished
after
the
first
of
the
year.
Excuse
me,
the
first
of
the
year
to
repurposed
Warehouse
that
we
have,
and
so
we
are
moving
the
College
of
communication
and
information
into
Pence
Hall.
It's
a
lovely
building
built
in
1909,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
doing
that
project.
Also
Patterson
office
tower.
U
Also
we
are
going
through
and
trying
to
upgrade
various
floors
on
that
project,
going
floor
by
floor
to
do
that.
Miller
Hall
another
one
of
our
buildings.
That's
a
little
bit
vintage
constructed
in
1898.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
work
that
we
want
to
do
with
that
and
moving
the
some
of
the
I
think
it's
public
policy
program
into
that
building
and
then,
of
course,
our
various
infrastructure
and
Building
Systems
improvements
that
I've
talked
about
Windows
roofs,
HVAC
improvements,
all
of
those
type
of
things
so
going
forward.
U
Our
a
request
for
the
24-26
by
NM
is
200
million
dollars
for
asset
preservation.
Again
we
want
to
devote
some
of
those
funds
to
infrastructure
and
Building
Systems
we're
also
considering
some
projects
of
possibly
redoing
a
building
like
Castle
Hall,
which
is
where
our
College,
where
our
psychology
program
is
located
a
building
that
was
constructed
in
1910.
U
The
Willard
medical
education
facility
and
we'd
like
to
do
a
modernization
of
that
facility,
Erickson
Hall,
which
is
many
programs
for
the
College
of
Agriculture
food
and
environment,
are
located
in
that
building
some
more
floors
and
Patterson
office
tower
and
McVay
Hall
and
we'd
like
to
put
about
47
million
dollars
into
that
building.
It
houses
some
engineering
programs
and
some
communication
information
programs
built
in
1928.
U
and
then
finally
constructing
a
research
facility.
So,
a
few
years
ago,
you
kindly
funded
a
good
portion
of
our
healthy
cons,
healthy
Kentucky
research
facility.
This
is
another
building
of
that
kind.
We're
looking
to
construct
300
000
square
feet
to
expand
research
capabilities
and
Advance
priorities
and
needs
of
the
Commonwealth.
U
It's
a
scope
of
450
million
dollars,
we're
asking
350
million
dollars
in
state
bonds
and
100
million
dollars
in
agency
some
of
the
research
priorities
that
we
do
have,
obviously,
which
we
did
with
the
healthy
Kentucky
research
building,
our
cancer
cardiovascular
disease
and
obesity,
diversity,
inclusion,
energy
studies,
Materials,
Science,
neuroscience
and
substance
use
disorders,
a
lot
of
projects,
a
big
campus
and
again,
thank
you
for
support
that
you've.
Given
us
previously.
L
And
it's
we're.
You
had
mentioned
the
two
billion
dollar
Hospital
project,
as
well
as
the
agricultural
project.
I
was
kind
of
looking
at
the
hospital
one,
but
either
one
the
hospital,
though
you
mentioned
1.2
billion
dollars
in
restricted
funds
and
then
800
million
in
agency
bonds.
So
you
also
mentioned
the
timeline
being
2029,
so
the
restricted
funds
is
that
I'm
thinking
of
cash
flow.
Here's
kind
of
my
question
is
the
1.2,
because
you
have
0.2
for
six
years.
C
T
Understood
the
the
total
two
billion
dollar
project
will
actually
take
it'll
start
constructions
within
a
year,
and
the
construction
itself
will
need
to
start
drawing
down
funds
immediately
and
go
through
2029.
We
actually
do
a
very
thorough
cash
draw
schedule
on.
When
do
we
need
the
funds?
When
will
we
have
the
1.2
million
because
we're
actually
generating
and
creating
that
1.2
billion
dollars
of
cash?
As
we
speak,
we
do
have
some,
and
so
we
need
the
800
million
in
agency
bonds
to
line
up
with.
L
T
T
So
we
do
a
timeline
of
when
is
the
outlay
of
cash.
And
then,
when
is
the
end
flow
of
cash
from
the
project,
primarily
by
adding
700
beds,
then
we
will
have
additional
Revenue
to
do
and
we
literally
put
that
on
a
timeline
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
all
the
payments
both
in
terms
of
the
construction
and
The
Debt
Service.
That
would
be
due.
L
Okay
question
two
Madam
chairman
on
slide:
number
six
you're
talking
about
asset
preservation
and
you
mentioned
a
potential
project-
is
the
Patterson
office
tower
two
additional
floors
so
when
I
think
of
asset
preservation,
I,
think
of
like
HVAC
and
energy,
we
were
talking
about
Windows
and
things.
So
adding
two
floors
sounds
to
me
kind
of
like
a
new
project,
we're
sort
of
sneaking
in
because
we
can.
So
can
you
speak
to
that.
U
Well,
we
certainly
we
do
look
at
the
type
of
things
that
you
were
mentioning
when
we
do
a
floor
like
that,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
energy
conservation,
with
lighting
upgrades
with
HVAC
systems
in
on
each
of
those
floors.
So
that's
always
included
in
the
projects
that
we
do.
We
also
look
at
Ada,
restrooms,
accessibility
and
things
of
that
nature.
Also.
T
L
Right
question:
three:
yes,
the
last
slide
on
page
seven
has
the
research
priorities
list
here
and
I
thought
we
were
kind
of
in
the
Health
Sciences
world
and
then
there's
energy,
that's
a
little
different
and
then
diversity
and
inclusion
which
to
me
is
totally
you
know
which
one
doesn't
belong
with
the
others.
So
there's
really
two
parts
to
this.
L
One
is
what
does
that
research
actually
look
like,
and
why
does
it
need
a
physical
office
space
because
I
feel,
like
almost
everything
nowadays
is
just
remote
and
computerized
I
mean
you
can
meet
with
people
remotely
it's
like
social
science,
research
style,
stuff
I'm,
just
trying
to
get
my
head
around
why
you
would
need
to
build
footprint
to
do
research
like
that?
It's
not
a
lab.
It's
literally
it's
opinions
really
is
what
it
is.
L
U
L
U
Dry
labs
are
probably
look
more
like
an
office
environment
than
a
typical
lab
that
you
would
think
of
with
a
hood
sinks.
You
know
I'll
go
back
to
when
I
was
in
school,
the
old
Bunsen
burners,
you
know,
and
so
it's
it's
really
not
as
technical.
Also
as
a
wet
lab
would
be
so
that's
kind
of
the
difference.
But
it
looks
a
lot
like
like
an
office
type
of
environment.
T
A
Q
Q
I
can't
believe
I
did
it
good
afternoon.
Yes,
my
name
is
my
name
is
Dan
Durbin
I
am
the
Executive
Vice
President
for
finance
and
administration
at
the
University
of
Louisville
and
I'm
joined
today
to
my
right,
Dr,
Jeffrey
Bumpus,
who
is
our
interim
Dean
for
the
school
of
medicine?
He
is
fairly
new
in
that
position,
but
he's
only
new
in
that
position
after
the
retirement
of
Tony
ganzel,
but
he
has
been
a
long-term
chair.
Q
A
long
time,
chair
of
our
department
of
otolaryngology
ENT
and
to
his
right
is
Dr
Gail
deputy
and
she
is
our
senior
associate
Provost
in
our
Provost
office
and
I'm
also
joined
behind
me
there.
She
is
Meg
Campbell,
who
leads
our
facilities,
planning
and
design
function
at
the
University.
Q
So
before
we
talk
about
the
future,
I'd
like
to
spend
just
a
couple
of
moments
talking
about
the
present
and
and
in
doing
so
we
wanted
to
thank
the
Commonwealth
and
the
the
the
the
the
legislative
bodies
for
the
the
generosity
and
the
support
for
the
current
capital
projects
that
we've
the
current
capital
funding
that
we've
received.
Q
Even
though
the
dollars
vary
in
terms
of
amounts,
and
they
vary
in
terms
of
scope,
some
of
them
renovated
smaller
areas,
some
of
them
renovated
or
will
build
a
building,
and
some
of
them
touched
every
part
of
the
campus.
They
they
vary
in
size.
They
vary
in
complexity,
but
the
one
thing
that
they
don't
bear
in
is
the
the
their
impactfulness
all
have
been
very,
very
impactful
again.
Q
The
asset
preservation
dollars
have
helped
us
really
start
to
share
up
our
infrastructure,
whether
it
be
campus
lighting,
HVAC
Plumbing
electrical,
you
name,
it
we've
invested
in
it
Center
for
military,
connected
students
that
we've
renovated
and
created
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
of
the
the
slide
guide
to
help
service,
that
very
special
group
of
students
on
campus
and
to
the
far
right
is
the
engineering
building
that
we
are
are
currently
under
design
and
will
be
constructing
and
it
should
be
open
in
the
fall
of
15
or
I'm.
Q
Sorry
fall
of
25
to
welcome
University
of
Louisville
engineering
students
back
to
campus
in
a
brand
new
game-changing
building.
So
again
the
the
dollars,
the
capital
support,
has
been
appreciated
and
and-
and
we
we
thank
the
Commonwealth
very
much
for
that,
as
we
turn
the
page
and
look
ahead
at
the
future.
One
of
the
things
that
we
take
a
great
deal
of
Pride
on
at
the
University
of
Louisville
is
our
stewardship
of
funds.
Q
We
we
want
the
the
board
to
understand
to
know
that
number
one,
a
purpose
plus
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
it
achieves
something
what
we
need
it
to
achieve.
It
needs
to
achieve
a
purpose
number
two:
the
plan
needs
to
be
responsive.
It
needs
to
be
responsive
not
only
to
our
our
charge
from
the
Commonwealth
in
the
state,
but
it
also
needs
to
hold
true
and
and
help
us
achieve
our
strategic
plan
number
three.
Q
It
needs
to
be
strategic
and
it
needs
to
fit
not
only
within
that
plan,
but
also
within
a
larger
Capital
plan
and
Camp
campus
master
plan
that
we've
recently
completed
and
number
four.
Is
we
when
we
think
about
capital
and
capital
planning?
It's
more
than
just
the
building
the
buildings
are
very
important,
but
they're.
One
piece
of
the
puzzle
that
connects
to
activities
connects
to
students
connects
to
faculty,
connects
to
staff
that
that
helps
generate
the
the
outcomes
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
be
successful.
Q
So
with
that,
there
are
six
priorities
that
we
have
identified,
that
that
my
colleagues
and
I
will
walk
through
very
briefly
here
over
the
next
few
minutes,
and
with
that
we
will
start
with
Dr
Bumpus.
Would
you
yes.
V
Thank
you,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
we're
privileged
to
be
here
to
speak
with
you
today,
in
particular
about
this
health
science,
Simulation
Center
and
collaboration
Hub
at
any
given
time.
2800
Learners
and
over
1200
faculty
are
walking
around
our
Health
Sciences
Campus,
as
that
resonates
with
you,
the
modern
academic
Health
Sciences
Center.
So
we
no
longer
really
just
refer
to
ourselves
as
medical
schools
or
or
just
medical
schools
and
hospitals,
but
academic
Health,
Sciences
Center
is
composed
of
multi-disciplinary
and
transdisciplinary
operations,
Education
and
Research.
V
We
have
all
of
those
elements,
yet
we
don't
have
one
Central
or
unifying
hub
for
those
activities.
So.
Within
this
structure,
we
envision
the
capability
of
being
able
to
bring
all
of
those
schools
to
bear
in
a
collaborative
and
transdisciplinary
fashion
by
having
better
conferencing
spaces,
better
Auditorium
spaces,
which
are
ADA
Compliant
and
are
very
well
needed.
As
you
know,
the
University
of
Louisville
opened
in
1798
and
the
University's
medical
school
was
the
first
Medical
School
West
of
the
Allegheny
Mountains,
which
coalesced
from
Transylvania
and
other
operations
in
Louisville
in
the
early
1800s.
V
So
the
ability
to
bring
these
people
into
a
special
space
where
they
can
collaborate
with
both
the
School
of
Public
Health,
the
School
of
Dentistry,
the
School
of
Nursing
and
the
Health
Science
Center
and
School
of
Medicine.
Additionally,
we
envision
in
this
a
most
sophisticated
space
for
simulation.
V
Much
of
Health
Care
Now
is
based
on
working
in
teams
in
working
across
distances
and
trying
to
know
when
to
transfer
a
patient
from
Paducah
or
Owensboro
to
Louisville
or
when
not
to
do
that,
and
how
we
can
do
that
in
a
most
effective
and
Humane
and
least
costly
fashion.
So
to
be
able
to
work
in
teams,
you
have
to
simulate
in
teams
we
have
a
nursing
school
in
Owensboro
Kentucky,
Dental
students
in
a
dental
clinic
in
Paducah
Kentucky.
V
We
have
a
rural
Medical
Campus
in
Madisonville
Kentucky,
in
association
with
Baptist
Health
there,
and
with
that
we
have
simulation
centers
there.
That
can
be
harmonized
to
where
we
can
actually
simulate
a
transfer
of
a
patient.
We
can
go
from
a
rural
community
hospital
setting
into
an
ICU
and
into
an
operating
room,
and
we
can
teach
our
students
how
to
interact
appropriately
professionally
across
that
grid.
So
this
really
brings
a
great
deal
of
value.
It
is
a
very
audacious
and
aspirational
project.
We
realize
it's
quite
costly,
but
it
would
unify
our
campus.
V
S
Thank
you,
the
stem,
so
science
technology
engineering,
math
academic
center
will
provide
critically
essential
space
needed
to
accommodate
modernization
and
expand
Academic
Program
growth,
the
enrollment
and
graduation
rates
at
the
University
of
Louisville
in
our
stem
majors
has
been
on
the
rise
and
that
trend
is
expected
to
continue
over
the
most
recent
five
years.
The
overall
number
of
degrees
at
the
University
of
Louisville
has
gone
up
over
five
percent
and
during
that
same
time,
the
number
of
stem
degrees
has
gone
up.
S
17
percent,
so
this
state-of-the-art
facility
will
provide
the
necessary
infrastructure
to
foster
a
collaborative
and
dynamic
learning
environment.
Many
of
our
current
facilities
in
the
science
Fields
need
Rejuvenation
and
in
some
cases
they
pose
Ada
accessibility,
limitations
for
our
students
and
faculty.
We
know
that
these
stem
careers
are
essential
for
Kentucky,
as
they
contribute
to
sustainable
development
and
economic
growth,
so
our
Commonwealth
can
remain
competitive
in
a
rapidly
involved,
evolving
global
economy.
S
The
next
project
is
the
College
of
Arts
and
Sciences
reinvention.
We
would
like
to
embark
on
a
crucial
building
project
that
involves
the
renovation
and
upgrade
of
several
critical
academic
buildings
within
the
College
of
Arts
and
Sciences.
Currently,
the
College
of
Arts
and
Sciences
occupies
over
20
different
buildings
on
campus,
many
of
which
are
more
than
50
years
old
and
a
few
from
the
early
1900s.
S
So
this
comprehensive
Endeavor
aims
to
reinvent
various
spaces,
including
classrooms,
instructional,
Laboratories,
Studios
and
student
support
areas.
This
initiative
will
produce
a
more
student-centric
environment
with
instructional
technology
upgrades
to
accommodate
a
more
modern,
pedagogy
new
classroom
facility
and
enhanced
architectural
character,
as
well
as
necessary
improvements
to
mechanical
electrical
and
plumbing
systems.
S
A
college
student
we
know
that
college
students
who
participate
in
extracurricular
activities
are
more
engaged
in
their
community
and
have
higher
retention
and
graduation
rates.
A
thriving
intramural
sports
program
contributes
the
overall
health
and
wellness
of
the
student
body
enhances.
The
student
experience,
creates
a
vibrant
campus
environment
and
increases
persistence
to
graduation.
We
will
be
redesigning
outdoor
spaces
to
increase
the
number
of
intramural
fields
and
courts,
as
well
as
installing
playgrounds,
Splash
grounds
and
walking
paths
to
be
enjoyed
by
the
local
community.
S
The
fields
will
include
installation
of
an
all-weather
Synthetic
Turf,
with
an
underfield
drainage
system
that
allows
students
to
engage
in
sports
and
recreational
activities,
regardless
of
the
weather
conditions,
and
the
Synthetic
Turf
also
offers
environmental
benefits
by
reducing
water
consumption
and
eliminating
the
need
for
pesticides
and
fertilizers
by
investing
in
facilities
that
encourage
student
engagement
and
Community
enjoyment.
Uofl
supports
the
state's
goal
of
promoting
outdoor
recreation
to
further
Healthy
Lifestyles.
Q
The
final
two
projects
kind
of
aligned
with
the
infrastructure
theme,
the
first
of
which
is
a
a
second
round,
if
you
will
to
build
upon
the
first
round
in
the
current
biennium
budget,
for
asset
preservation
or
I'll,
refer
to
it
as
campus
infrastructure
modernization.
Q
We
the
the
first
the
first
round,
the
current
round
of
about
the
84
million
dollars
of
of
State
funding,
combined
with
our
20
about
22
23
million
dollars
of
University
funding
again
has
his
POS
has
had
a
great
impact
on
our
infrastructure
in
terms
of
functionality,
Energy
Efficiency
and
savings,
and
we
would
like
another
round
of
asset
preservation
funds
into
the
into
the
next
budget
cycle.
To
be
able
to
continue
that
momentum.
Q
The
the
last
is
some
help
with
our
Steam
and
chilled
water
plant,
specifically
a
some
some
enhancements
to
our
Chiller
plants
on
campus
that
help
cool
multiple
buildings
on
the
campus.
The
current
plant
is
about
40
years
old
and
it's
it's
it's
time
for
some
modernization
again
for
Energy
Efficiency
and
dependability
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
the
plant
can
continue
to
provide
disservice
to
the
campus
that
that's
needed
to
keep
the
campus
safe
and
comfortable.
Q
Finally,
the
the
capital
requests
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
is
pretty
lengthy.
There
are
probably
close
to
about
100
projects
and
we've
only
touched
on
the
top
six,
but
if,
if
we
think
about
the
the
balance
and
and
how
we
how
we
went
about
planning
for
the
capital
plan
and
the
The
Bouncing
that
against
the
Strategic
plan
and
aligning
them
I
think
you'll
find
that
those
all
those
projects
fit
into
one
of
four
categories:
student
support
or
academic
support.
Q
They
support
the
student
life
or
they
support
the
academic
process.
Campus
operations,
the
the
it
or
the
it
upgrades,
and
things
like
that
and
also
athletic
venues,
which
would
be
self-supported
from
athletic
revenues.
So
with
that
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
But
we
do
want
to
want
to
thank
the
thank
the
the
board
for
the
support
at
both
past
present
and
future.
Thank
you.
Any.
A
W
W
And
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
our
Capital
plan.
Wku's
main
campus
is
located
down
in
Bowling
Green
Kentucky.
We
also
have
about
800
Acre
Farm.
We've
got
Innovation
campus,
also
a
South
Campus,
and
then
we
have
Regional
campuses
located
in
Glasgow
Owensboro
Elizabethtown
Somerset.
That
brings
the
WKU
resources
to
those
communities
and
and
folks
that
can't
get
to
Regional
or
comprehensive
campuses.
W
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
is
that
we
do
do
a
lot
of
planning.
We
completed
a
WKU
master
plan.
That's
outlined
is
online
for
our
21
to
2031..
We've
got
a
strategic
plan
and
the
the
state
performed
and
did
a
a
facilities
assessment
back
in
2007,
and
that
gets
mentioned
a
lot
and
talks
about
fcis
and
deferred
maintenance.
But
we
went
ahead
and
implemented
another
one
in
2017
got
the
results
in
2018
for
51
of
our
buildings.
W
So
when
you
combine
all
of
those
studies
and
that's
what
helps
us
build,
this
plan
and
present
to
the
state
of
Kentucky
is
our
Capital
needs.
Our
plan
does
focus
on
our
student
recruitment
retention
and
success.
Those
decisions
and
guides
us
to
make
these
decisions
for
our
future
buildings.
Our
Capital
plan
is
really
aggressive,
but
it's
necessary
for
providing
students
with
rigorous
academic
programs
and
education,
Arts,
Sciences,
Health
and
Sciences
and
business.
W
W
W
The
facilities
assessment
identified
the
academic
complexes
in
fair
condition.
That
is,
that
is
so
many
of
our
buildings
that
are
50
years
old
are
in
fair
condition.
W
We
we
were
going
to
and
looked
at
just
renovating
that
building
and
then
after
we
studied
it
a
little
further.
We
decided
that
building
needed
to
come
down
and
be
replaced.
We
have,
in
the
past,
renovated
fully
renovated
many
buildings
on
our
campus.
That
has
been
very
successful,
but
some
of
these
buildings
that
were
built
in
the
60s
have
no
insulation
and
are
very
cumbersome.
They
don't
have
two
pipe
systems
and
they're
not
very
efficient
or
really
able
to
be
modernized
to
a
condition
of
the
students
needs.
Today.
W
W
This
project
is
needed
to
for
major
infrastructure
on
three
different
buildings
in
that
College.
These
improvements
would
include
typical
things:
modifications
to
spaces
equipment,
Building,
Systems
materials,
fire
safety,
exits,
emergency
lighting,
alarm
systems,
sprinklers
asbestos
abatement,
lead
abatement,
air,
duct,
cleaning
and
lighting
improvements
in
those
existing
facilities
across
campus.
W
We
also
need
to
address
the
Ada
accessibility
that
currently
are
not
code
or
compliant
in
all
of
those
buildings
that
were
built
years
ago.
Our
third
project
is
one
that
WKU
is
currently
investing
30
million
dollars
in
utilizing
the
asset
preservation
funds
that
the
state
has
graciously
provided
to
the
university.
That's
Jerry,
Hall
Jerry
Hall
is
an
iconic
building
that
is
assembled
of
many
people.
It's
been
we're
celebrating
about
a
hundred
years
at
WKU.
W
That
building
has
not
had
any
substantial
major
Renovations
to
that
building.
Since
1976,
when
there
was
a
fire
started
by
one
of
the
students
on
campus,
the
30
million
dollars
will
address
a
lot
of
the
tired
and
worn
out
infrastructure.
That's
currently
in
the
building
it.
W
It
also
is
a
two-pipe
system
and
with
a
two-pipe
system
means
is
that
during
the
shoulder
months,
like
the
end
of
August
October,
when
we
have
80
degrees
days
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we'll
have
60
and
70
degree
days,
the
conditions
inside
the
building
can
very
greatly
it's
uncomfortable
to
teach
in
the
project
will
assist
in
providing
additional
resources
to
fully
renovate
this
campus
and
so
we're
asking
for
another
30
million
dollars
for
that
project.
Jerry
Hall
is
a
signature
building,
as
I
mentioned,
it
was
originally
built
in
1937..
A
L
I
have
two
thank
yous.
One.
Is
the
Cherry
Hall
little
antidote
there
because
that's
helpful
when
we
see
all
these?
Sometimes
they
we
have
them
in
our
heads
from
having
been
there
and
sometimes
we're
just
looking
at
pages
and
pages
and
pages
of
words,
and
we
don't
know
how
to
prioritize
these
other
than
just
okay.
L
You
need
another
haul
and
thanks
for
hanging
in
there
for
the
very
last
of
this
also
thank
you
on
the
capitol
renewal
pool
number
19
I
see
you
have
some
nice
little
split
out
amounts
for
different
things,
but
my
my
question
really
was
going
to
be
on
this
project.
This
number
one
academic
complex,
it
seemed
like
maybe
there's
gonna
be
some
phases
to
this
but
like
before.
W
In
the
past
have
been
told
when
we
have
a
project
that
stems
multiple
years,
we
were
asking
for
a
renovation
in
doing
some
upgrades
costs
and
changes
have
dramatically
in
the
last
five
years
has
been
astronomical
used
to.
We
used
to
use
a
simple
formula,
and
that
wasn't
our
number
one
priority
now
at
the
business
college,
is
fully
funded
or
funded
and
we're
starting
that
project
we've
actually
Broken
Ground
in
July,
which
is
very
thankful
for
that
facility.
W
We've
raised
them
and
then
we've
either
replaced
them
or
fully
renovated
those
type
of
structures
which
gives
us
a
very
modern
building
and
it
really
reduces
the
Deferred
maintenance.
That's
been
on
wku's
campus
in
this
one.
We've
got
that
building
was
a
renovation
project
and
we
were
going
to
renovate
the
building
at
that
time.
Using
past
numbers,
which
kind
of
each
year
just
kind
of
rolls,
the
decisions
been
made
or
strategies
been
made.
We
would
like
to
take
that
building
completely
down,
raise
that
facility
in
total
and
then
do
the
engineering
study
to
create.
A
W
A
A
Absolutely
thank
you.
Thank
you
too.
So
the
next
one
will
be
just
as
long
there'll
be
a
lot
of,
or
they
come
into
my
county,
or
how
do
they
come
in
so.
