University to request funds ■ There are 32 projects in need of funding from the Oregon University System By Jessica Blanchard Oregon Daily Emerald The University has compiled a $98.6 million “wish list” for campus construction in the next three years, including a $22 million renovation and addition to the College of Edu cation and $32 million to build a five-story Integrative Information Science complex between Franklin Boulevard and Deschutes Hall. “We’re looking at the next gener ation of capital construction,” said Allan Chung, a planning associate and space analyst with the Univer sity planning office. “These are projects we’d like to do that are not funded or being constructed yet.” Master-plan studies for the Uni versity Health Center building and the EMU are also on the list of capi tal construction budget requests for the next three bienniums, ac cording to documents from the University Planning Office. The list of construction projects contains three categories: education and general projects, housing rev enue-bond projects and student-fee funded projects. The top 11 projects overall will be included in the list for the 2001-2003 biennium that the University will present to the Ore gon University System State Board of Higher Education by March 1, said Chris Ramey, director and ar chitect for the planning office. Projects on the 2001-2003 list in clude expanding' the music school, adding undergraduate classrooms and labs around campus, building an international studies/foreign lan guages building and expanding the Architecture and Allied Arts Li brary and Eugene Millrace facilities. There are 32 projects on the ex tended list, which includes pro Campus construction in Oregon Over the last decade, the UO received the biggest part of the $62,202,573 student fees pool from OUS universities to fund some campus construction projects. 5% Western Oregon University 24% jmmm University of Oregon/ HBHm, / / :- - * ■■Igm 11% / Oregon University System Eastern Oregon University Southern Oregon University Ww Oregon Institue of W Technology 23% Oregon State University 14% Portland State University yym£:mPubtk Affairs Katie Neue Emerald posed construction projects for the next seven years. Each of the seven universities in the system will send their con struction proposals to OUS, which is slated to review, prioritize and select projects for its own “.wish list,” that it will present at the next session of the state legislature. Until the legislature provides funding, the University can’t begin construction, Chung said. Last June, the University Plan ning Office asked the University deans and directors to submit pro posals for campus construction projects that required little state funding or had the potential to find donors to match funds, Ramey said. “The state legislature has been very stingy to universities asking for money for building projects in the last few years,” Ramey said. “All the money the legislature has allocated for the last three sessions has been required to be matched up dollar for dollar with gift money. ” Twelve of the construction proj ects in the budget would be partial ly or completely funded by student building fees, and are therefore re viewed and prioritized by a stu dent committee. “We decided what our objectives would be before we saw the propos als,” said J.R. Fitzpatrick, ASUO University Affairs Coordinator and chair of the Student Building Fee Allocation Committee. The com mittee prioritized the proposals by their urgency, whether they en hanced fbe student population and promoted cultural and physical de velopment, and if the department or division of the school had received funds recendy, Fitzpatrick said. “We had to be realistic in our ex pectations,” he said. “So we’re fo cused on doing some master plans. It shows the university system that there’s a plan of attack. ” Fitzpatrick pointed to the recent renovation of Esslinger Hall as an example of a well-thought-out pro posal that received OUS funding. “It’s kind of sticky, but we’re try ing to make the best of a situation with limited money,” Fitzpatrick said. “We want to be able to do as much as possible.
