Facilities Master Plan

Whereas SCSU exists for the primary purpose of furthering academic excellence;

Whereas the University is currently in the process of developing the next Facilities Master Plan;

Whereas the Program for the Master Plan of 1993 by Dober, Lidsky, Craig,and Associates, Inc. stated that Southern Connecticut State University was "last of the eight institutions" surveyed in non-residential net assignable square feet per student;

Whereas all administrative decisions should be driven first and foremost by the goal of academic excellence;

The Faculty Senate resolves that the Facilities Master Plan currently under development will include a separate section for Academic Facilities which will address the following issues:

· Improvement of all academic space, including classrooms, laboratories, seminar rooms, research facilities, fine arts facilities including performing arts, training facilities, athletic teaching facilities, gymnasia, office space, and collaborative work areas for full and part time faculty;

· Necessary expansion and growth of academic space;

· Improvement and growth of space to promote Library and Information Technology services needs;

· Appropriate provision for technology needs in all academic space.

And that this section of the Facilities Master Plan will be made available to the Faculty Senate for review and comment prior to its approval.
