9:15 AM -- Colorado School of Mines Recreation Center 202 Request
Mr. Robert Moore, representing the Colorado School of Mines (Mines) presented the request. Mines requests $6,904,652 in cash funds exempt (CFE) spending authority to add an aquatics program to the scope of its recreation center project. According to Mr. Moore, the committee originally approved $18,095,348 CFE for the project on September 14, 2004. Since that time, Mines has been able to raise additional funds to add a pool to the project. See Attachment C for the staff write-up for this request.
The original request was to build an 84,500 gross square foot recreation center. Mr. Moore told the committee that the new recreation center is necessary since the original recreation center was built in 1958. Since that time, the student body at Mines has grown from 1,000 students to 3,200 students, including an increase in female students from none to about 800. This is a SB 92-202 project, meaning the facility will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained solely from non-state funds. Mr. Moore responded to questions from the committee.
