黑洞社区 Update

Muma stated 黑洞社区 enrollment has increased for both spring and fall semesters, including a large increase in local students, and also from Texas, Nebraska and Arkansas.  Muma discussed some of the projects under way on campus:

• The Intensive English Center has moved to Lindquist Hall, and its former home near 17th Street and Hillside will be razed by the end of spring semester.
• A large area outside Clinton Hall has been fenced off to allow for the transformation of Clinton Hall into the Shocker Success Center.
• Construction on  will begin in February. The annex will be an expansion of the Marcus Welcome Center and will house the Shocker Career Accelerator offices. The integration of admissions and career services is intended to send a clear message to students about the support they will receive for applied learning opportunities and career development.
• Phase one of the Cessna Stadium renovations will begin in late spring. The east side demolition will begin after the Kansas State High School Track and Field Championship May 26-27.
• Partnership Building 11 recently broke ground. The building is located by P3 and the Hyatt and is being built to house future partners interested in locating on campus and focusing on digital transformation.
• The new home of the National Institute for Research and Digital Transformation (NIRDT) at the corner of 18th Street and Oliver will be completed in February. The 37,000-square-foot building will include a collaboration hub, cyber/data analytics area, testing labs, eight research labs and a 168-rack data center.
• The National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) will break ground on its Technology and Innovation Building in fall 2023. The new 85,000-square-foot research facility will be located on the Innovation Campus, near existing research and partnership facilities to take advantage of available infrastructure. This facility鈥檚 proximity to other research and instructional spaces and numerous industry partners builds on the proven success of previous programs and extends capacity for additional training and research for the region. 
• The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has started renovations on P3. This will be home to its Center of Excellence, the National Crime Gun Intelligence Governing Board, a second National Correlation Center for the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, and will provide a myriad of training in CGI. It will serve as a national academy for the training of ATF鈥檚 Intelligence Research Specialists.
• New restaurants and retail opening in Braeburn Square and a new apartment complex across the lake from Braeburn Square.

Schlapp gave a legislative update and talked about the different types of funding in discussion for the Biomedical Center.  Muma discussed the proposed downtown health corridor where the Bioscience Center would be located with Ascension Via Christi, mental health facilities and the new DO school.  Although the board is not being asked to provide funding for the Bioscience Center, Dan Rouser advised everyone that his employer will likely bid for work on the project.  If the board is ever asked to provide funding for the Bioscience Center he would excuse himself from those discussions and abstain from all votes.

Dietz moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:45 am, Bastion seconded. 

The board requested off campus visit locations and tours for our next meetings, Johnson will work to schedule for April 6 and July 13.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Johnson
