FOR APPROVAL
1. New Residence: Project, Budget and Design Approval
Recommended: That the Board of Governors approve the design of a new residence on the north side of University Drive at a cost of no more than $20 million.
Background:
At a special meeting on December 10, 1997, the Board of Governors approved:
a) the use of the north side of University Drive as the site for the construction of a new 380 to 450 bed residence, and
b) that the detailed design of the residence proceed, subject to approval in January 1998, of the exterior design, and that the maximum project budget be less than $20 million.
Subsequent to that approval, numerous meetings have been held to discuss the site selection and design of the proposed residence. This included three meetings with the Planning Committee of the London City Council, where Broughdale community and Tower Lane residents attended and expressed their views. In addition, two meetings were held with local residents to discuss the design -- one on January 6 and another on January 20, 1998. The site plan was submitted to the City for approval on January 25, 1998, and will be the subject of a public review meeting prior to the approval by the City in February 1998.
The proposed design has been developed as a result of consideration of zoning requirements and input from the local residents, the City Planning Department and the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. While the design evolved through a number of iterations to address regulatory requirements and a number of concerns from the neighbors, the construction and size of the building remain a concern to some of the neighbors. Every effort is being made to minimize the effect of the building on the Tower Lane residents, and they will continue to be consulted. The exterior and interior design of the facility has also been developed with consideration of the principles identified in the Campus Master Plan. The exterior and interior design of the building are shown in Annex 1. Additional drawings and a rendering will be available for viewing at the Board meeting.
The proposed residence will provide approximately 400 new bedrooms, in keeping with the University's goal of providing on-campus accommodation for its first year student population. In addition, Housing offices and summer academic counselling will be accommodated in this 185,000 square foot structure.
The building's siting conforms with the principles of the Campus Master Plan. The importance of University Drive is acknowledged by the placement of the major part of the building facade along the road, creating a strong urban edge. Tree planting and landscaping will buffer the building from our neighbors. The mass of the building is stepped down from five stories on each wing to two in the middle. The layout of the building also creates an outdoor courtyard for informal recreation and for organized activities, in keeping with the campus tradition of well-defined outdoor spaces.
The architectural treatment of the building's exterior is also in accordance with the guidelines of the Campus Master Plan. The form, characteristic of many of the University's buildings, has been created to improve the main entry to the University. Facades have been given rhythmic vertical articulation by emphasizing the corner window projection of each suite's common room and by the vertical grouping of the bedroom windows within each bay. Masonry is the prime exterior material, in colors matching the natural stone of the other residences on University Drive.
The typical suite, similar to those in Essex Hall, provides each resident with a bedroom/study, which includes a window. Bedrooms are arranged in pairs, two sharing a bathroom. The suite's common room features an open servery area with an eating counter. Also, specially designed suites will be provided for the disabled, and typical suites will include improved accessibility features, such as wider doors and hallways.
The project remains on an extremely tight schedule and budget. Current information indicates that prices in the construction industry are volatile and difficult to predict. While making allowance for some inflation, it is believed that the project can be completed at a cost of $20 million. The detailed budget will be presented in the confidential session of the Board of Governors meeting. This project will be self-funded through the Division of Housing and Food Services.
It is proposed to call tenders in April 1998 and complete the project by the summer of 1999.
2.Guarantee for the Bank of Nova Scotia
Recommended:That the Board of Governors authorize that the University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario guarantee the indebtedness and liability of the Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation, in the amount of $7.8 million. Such guarantee shall be issued to the Bank of Nova Scotia and the signing authorities under Special Resolution 4 (Investments) are authorized to sign any related agreements on behalf of the Board of Governors.
[Note: The signing Officers under special resolution 4 are: Any one of group "A" [President, Vice-President (Administration), Provost, Secretary of the Board] plus any one of group "B" [Senior Director - Financial Services Division, Manager of Financial Analysis and Budget Administration, Manager - Corporate Accounting, Treasury Analyst]
Background:
The South Wing addition of Spencer Hall was completed in September 1992 at a cost of $8.06 million; it has been financed by short term borrowing from the Bank of Nova Scotia. The Board of Governors guaranteed the repayment of this loan in the amount of $8.0 million on behalf of Spencer Hall Foundation in January 1994. Now that the operations, assets and liabilities of Spencer Hall Foundation have been transferred to the Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation and the Bank of Nova Scotia is no longer a direct partner in the operations of this facility, the Bank of Nova Scotia has requested that the University transfer the guarantee from Spencer Hall Foundation to the Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation and include in the guarantee all loans related to these operations.
The guarantee relates to the following loans:
South Wing addition $7,500,000
Previous renovation loan 150,000
Operating loan 150,000
Total guarantee $7,800,000
The plan for the repayment of these loans will be included in the annual plan for the Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation.
3. Renewal of Lease of the Graphics Building to the Weldon Park Academy
Recommended: That the Board of Governors approve the extension of the lease of the Graphics Building to the Weldon Park Academy for a period of one year, to June 1999, subject to the successful negotiations related to the cost sharing of the maintenance of the facility during that period.
Background:
In 1996, the Board of Governors approved the lease of the Graphics Building to the Weldon Park Academy for a period of up to two years at an annual rent of $140,122.60 per year, exclusive of GST. The University has kept expenses related to the operation and maintenance of this facility below the revenue from the rent.
The Weldon Park Academy is in the process of searching for a permanent site for the school. Due to the time required to review and assess sites, the school has indicated that it will not be ready to relocate before the 1998/99 academic year. As a result, they have requested a one year extension to the lease.
Prior to the initiation of the lease with the Weldon Park Academy, it was proposed to demolish the Graphics Building because there was no beneficial use by the University for this aging facility. At present, there is no identified University use for the facility and/or the land beneath it. The relationship with the Weldon Park Academy during the past year and a half has been good and it is proposed to renew most terms of the current lease, with the exception that changes will be proposed related to the maintenance of facilities. These changes will involve transferring a greater degree of responsibility for funding the repair of major building systems, should they fail, to the Weldon Park Academy and, therefore, reduce the risk to the University.
FOR INFORMATION
1. Preferred Corporate Travel Agencies
In March of 1992 the Purchasing Department approached 18 travel agencies requesting proposals on how they would provide "travel services" to the University.
The successful travel agencies were P. Lawson Travel and Ruse Travel. The use of the preferred travel agents could not be mandated and therefore no firm commitment was made with respect to annual expenditures. As a result an agreement was established between the University and these agencies based on the proposal that they submitted. This agreement took effect in June 1992 with the two preferred travel agencies providing travel services under the same terms and conditions which included, among other things, a rebate of 3% on all airfare. Consolidation provides leverage in dispute resolution and achieves a high level of service. Sharing the business between two suppliers allows some flexibility to travellers.
Over the past five years the use of the preferred travel agencies has steadily grown. This, however, has not been without considerable investment by both Purchasing and the travel agents to encourage the use of the preferred agencies. Currently 60% of all travel arrangements are booked through one of the preferred agencies.
In 1995, P. Lawson Travel was taken over by Carlson Wagonlit and in 1996 Ruse Travel became associated with Carlson Wagonlit. These mergers basically now give the University one preferred travel agency with two branch offices.
In accordance with Board policy related to the purchase of material and services, (policy 2.8 section 6.02), the following reasons are sighted to support the continued use of the current relationships:
1. User compliance would be difficult if not impossible to mandate.
2. In the absence of mandatory use of a given agency, the transition from the current agent to another agent would be very slow. In addition, it would require investment of considerable Purchasing resources with no perceived benefit especially in light of the new commission caps being imposed on travel agents.
3. The present compliance rate indicates that there is a high degree of user satisfaction with the current agencies.
The University currently spends approximately $750,000 per annum with the preferred agencies under these arrangements and, as a result, the applicable budget units have received rebates in excess of $21,000 per year.
For the above reasons, the University will continue to use Carlson Wagonlit / Ruse Travel and Carlson Wagonlit Travel as the preferred corporate travel agencies for the next five years.
See Annex 2. [Copies in paper format are available from the University Secretariat.]
3. Environmental and Safety Incidents
There were two fires on campus since the last reporting; each is detailed below. In general, the responses to the events were considered to be effective. The details, however, are continuing to be reviewed with the aim of prevention, improving response and operational procedures.
Fire - Althouse College
On December 3, 1997, at approximately 2:00 p.m., a fire occurred in a chemical storage and mixing room adjacent to the chemistry teaching laboratory in Althouse College. Due to the mislabelling of a chemical, two incompatible chemicals were mixed together, which caused a fire. As a result of the compartmentalization of the other chemicals stored in the room, the impact of the fire was minimized. The individual who mixed the chemicals received only minor injuries. Chemical information sheets posted at the door to the room assisted the Fire Department in coping with the fire.
Damage was confined to the room, the roof deck and the roofing above the room. Subsequent to the fire, a restoration crew was contracted and the clean up was commenced such that classes could be given the following morning. The total clean up and damage repair is estimated at approximately $90,000 and will be covered by the University's self-insurance fund.
Fire - Chemistry Building
On January 16, 1998 at approximately 2:30 p.m., a fire occurred in Room 308 of the Chemistry Building. A graduate student was working with chemicals in a fumehood when a small fire occurred. At that time, a beaker was dropped with one of the chemicals in it and the liquid caught fire. A second graduate student heard screams and came running from the next lab.
Injuries to the first student were confined to the upper left leg. The second student suffered burns to fingertips on both hands. Both were treated at University Hospital Emergency. Damage was minimal and consisted mainly of damage from the safety shower water and some floor stains.
See Annex 3 [outlined below].
