2. The Dr. Earl Russell Chair in Pain Management

The Dr. Earl Russell Chair in Pain Management

A Search Committee will be established by the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry to identify the individual to be appointed to the Dr. Earl Russell Chair in Pain Management.
3. Academic Space Realignments Projects
In November 1998, a series of urgent academic space requirements were identified and a proposal for space realignment, with a very preliminary cost estimate of $4.4 million, was put forward and approved in principle by the Property & Finance Committee of the Board and by Senate (December 4, 1998: S.98-307).
The Property & Finance Committee requested that the design concepts and estimates be refined. A design team, headed by Malhotra Nicholson Architects Inc., was retained to evaluate and design the renovations to Somerville House and Physical Plant and Capital Planning Services Division, Institutional Planning and Budgeting, and Information Technology staff have refined the plans and budget estimates. The proposed plan is similar to that proposed earlier, except that it is proposed to retain the Peacock Room and Café Somerville activities in Somerville House and to locate the expanded Faculty of Health Sciences in Somerville House rather than in Elborn College. In addition, it is now planned to create one 36 station and two 45 station computer labs in the basement of Somerville House and a new 240 seat classroom in Talbot College in the space to be vacated by the McIntosh Gallery offices. These additions ($1,000,000) and refinements of estimates ($600,000) have led to an increased budget from $4.4 million to $6 million.
Recommended: That Senate approve and recommend to the Board of Governors, through the Vice-Chancellor, the Academic Space Realignment Projects summarized below and on the attached drawings, at a cost of $6 million.
The revised scope of the projects is summarized as follows and shown on Appendix 2. [These floorplans are available in paper form from the University Secretariat.]
The conversion of Somerville House will require the following actions:
The funding sources for these projects are as follows:
ATOP funding $1,500,000
Provost Academic Support Fund $250,000
Capital Fund $3,700,000
Fund Raising - McIntosh Gallery $250,000
Richard Ivey School of Business $300,000
This project is on an extremely tight time line and any delays in moving the project forward will jeopardize completion of the work in Somerville House by September 1999. It is noted that, in order to meet the time lines, a tender for Elborn College renovations will be called in mid-January and the contract must be awarded by the end of January to permit the vacating of Somerville House by April 1, 1999, and subsequent renovations
FOR INFORMATION
1. Strategic Plan for King's College
澳门六合彩开奖预测's Affiliated Colleges, Brescia, Huron, and King's, enable the University to offer students the resources of a major research university and also the atmosphere of a particular College community, focussed on the study of the liberal arts, humanities and social sciences. In the cases of Brescia and King's Colleges, this education occurs within a Catholic context; Huron College is affiliated with the Anglican Diocese of Huron. The Colleges provide valuable contributions to the University through their unique academic programs (such as the Human Ecology program at Brescia, Social Work at King's and International and Comparative Studies at Huron, for example) and offerings in departments in the Arts and Social Sciences correlative with programs at the Constituent University.
King's College is the largest of 澳门六合彩开奖预测's three Affiliated Colleges and has recently completed a Strategic Plan, outlining the Colleges' mission, vision, and commitments as a Catholic community of learning. The Principal of King's College, Dr. Gerald Killan, has been invited to discuss the Strategic Plan, Vision, Values and Learning (Appendix 1) with members of Senate.
