Parking areas (7) will be expanded by land acquisition. The changes will shift the center of the campus to the west. tree-line- d College officials contemplate campus changes by Ralph Schriock When SUSC officials let their imaginations go a little, they talk about the SUSC campus in terms of bell d towers, a new student center with a restaurant, monument-dominated and a entrance. walkways master plans, But when they talk about short-rang- e renovate and the goals are more repair existing buildings and finish the $10 million worth of construction already under way. As it does every year, the SUSC administration facilities master plan that recently updated a five-yeoutlines additions to several existing buildings, the demolition of a few, as well as the addidon of a few new buildings. That doesnt mean everything on the master plan will happen in five years. This master plan is reviewed and updated every year, explained Mike Richards, vice president for college relations. From it, we develop our capital facilities request. The completion of buildings depends on budget tree-line- appinpruitio-isi ne plan , J lie said not di. u wcM.il imp-n- ment projects, which are among the schools top priorities. Among them: halting building settlement and repairing the damage caused by the poor soil, upgrading electrical and safety conditions, and demolishing outdated buildings, like the fieldhouse, the science museum, Oak Hall, and the art studio building. But beyond the addition of a new student center to the campus, SUSC has mapped out additions to the PE, music, and administration buildings, and a center alongside the Science Center. computer-mat- h We also want to finish the Industrial Education Building, noted Richards. The Industrial Education Building basement is one great big cavernous area. We could definitely use that space. The development of the campus obviously hinges on the growth of the student body, and all indicators point to a rapid growth. Classroom space, Richards said, should not be a problem, however, largely because of the Centrum, which should provide academic space for some 4,000 students. Weve been looking forward to that goal accomodating 4,000 students since President Sherratt took office, Richards said. Were making great strides toward than Added President Sherratt, The fact is, we can and have added students at essentially no cost to the state. The goal of the college is not to build to have buildings, however. Administrators say the buildings are to help the college academically. One priority along that line is to improve the library. Were going to build our library to make it a superb little library, Sherratt said. And improvements m'ght not depend tntirely on the states benevolence. Weve been able to build a fine accounting library, and we did it primarily through our own funding, Sherratt said, noting that private funding will play a big role in library improvements. SUSC maintains a constant five-yemaster plan, but any future plans beyond that are sketchy at best. Theres no way we can set down a master plan for 50 years, Sherratt summarized. "Knowledge wii' increase 50 times what it is today. Maybe the library will be one giant computer. Bur even in predicting the somewhat distant future, Sherratt is confident of one thing: Theres no college in the state that ha the potential SUSC has. The time will come when SUSC will rival schools up north. |
