7:55 AM -- Mesa State College New Residence Hall 202 Request
Tim Foster, President of Mesa State College (Mesa), provided the committee with background on the new residence hall.
See Attachment A for the staff write-up of this request. Mesa requests $19.2 million in cash funds exempt (CDFE) spending authority to build a new residence hall consisting of 267 beds near the corners of College Place and Bunting Avenue in Grand Junction. According to Mr. Foster, details such as room configurations and type of construction will be determined after a construction manager/general contractor is selected. Mesa has provided committee members with preliminary floor plans and elevations for the project.
The residence hall will not include dining facilities, but rather, existing dining facilities located about two blocks from the proposed site of the new residence hall will be remodeled to accommodate additional residents. Mr. Foster explained that since overall project costs have been revised downward, costs for the parking component of the project have been revised from $3 million to $6 or $7 million. Plans for parking now include a the construction of a parking structure. Mesa plans to break ground in September 2005 with occupancy in August of 2006.
This request is a 202 project, meaning that the facility will be designed, constructed, and operated with nonstate funds.
Mr. Foster responded to questions from the committee members.
