![]() Main Campus Project Estimate Still HighFrom the Executive Leadership Team: The past two years have seen tremendous involvement from the Project User Groups (PUGs) in formulating designs for future facilities on the main campus. The product of this effort, the design schematics recently posted in the Library, were submitted to a cost estimator early in May. The estimate returned last week shows the project $3.4 million over available resources. However, gLAs Architects, the Bond Management Team and the Facilities Management Committee feel that there are several components of the estimate that are unusually high and therefore need further scrutiny. The schematics have been submitted to a local firm for a second evaluation, and approval of the design schematics by the board has been delayed until July. We believe the new cost estimates could reveal that current schematic designs are within or slightly over budget. Of course, they might also confirm the current estimate.In order to continue to move forward with the bond project, decisions will have to be made over the summer months. If the current cost estimates prove to be correct, the Facilities Management Committee and the Executive Leadership Team might need to modify the design schematics to get them within budget and keep the project on a realistic time line. We will make an effort to contact as many available PUG members as possible should design modifications come under consideration. In any case, information about schematic designs, cost estimates, as well as any action that may be taken, will be posted on Lane's website every Monday.

The Bond Management Team (BMT) will be available at 744-4154 or 747-4501 Ext. 2727 during summer hours to answer any questions and give information. All communication received by the BMT during the summer months will be reviewed regularly by the team, the architects and the Facilities Management Committee. | ![]() |
