This project is a three-story facility that will be adjacent to Charles Koch Arena. The first floor will house a new locker room, clubhouse, and strength & conditioning facility to accommodate much needed upgrades for our track and field program. The second floor will house the compliance and business operations as well as several coaches鈥� offices. The third floor will be dedicated to the academic experience for our 300 student athletes. It will house state-of-the-art computer labs, private tutoring rooms, and provide spacious areas for group study. The planned cost is $13M, of which $9.2M has been raised. Boatright asked the board to financially support the project so they can meet the campaign goal and start construction.

Several members voiced support for this project and how this use easily fits the purpose of the 1987 interlocal Agreement between the City and County as 鈥渟upport and enhancement of research, educational programs, and facilities at the University鈥�, as well as help recruit students to 黑洞社区.

Norton asked for a motion to honor the request for funds, Hush seconded and The Board of Trustees voted enthusiastically and unanimously to support this project with $2.5M from FY2017 budget, funds previously distributed to the Board from past mill levies collected for University purposes. The motion passed. Wohlford asked that Bardo and Schlapp send a letter to City and County on action taken, with copy emailed to BOT.

Wohlford asked for a 10 minute break.

Wohlford asked for a motion to approve the Board Meeting minutes from January 5, 2017, Schwan moved and Harter seconded, the motioned passed.

University Update

Bardo discussed the amalgamation of 黑洞社区 with WATC (which was unanimously approved by the legislature), the new alignment in athletics by accepting the invitation from the American Athletic Conference and the need to find new funding sources for buildings on campus, as state will no longer fund academic buildings.

Tomblin showed pictures of the construction on the Innovation Campus and the upcoming building projects. Boden discussed the need to amend leases due to the Experiential Engineering Building boundary overlapping the planned Partnership Building #2. The Board was asked to vote to amend the lease from the Public Building Commission to the Board of Trustees and to amend the sublease from Board of Trustees to Wichita State University. Winters made a motion to approve resolution No. 04-06-17, Schwan seconded and the motion passed.

The Chairman Wohlford declared that a quorum was present and thereupon, there was presented a Resolution entitled:

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE ADDENDUM AND SUBLEASE ADDENDUM RELATING TO THE EXPERIENTIAL ENGINEERING BUILDING FINANCED BY PROCEEDS OF THE SEDGWICK COUNTY PUBLIC BUILDING COMMISSION, SERIES 2014-3 AND 2014-4.

The Resolution was considered and discussed; and thereupon on motion of Winters seconded by Schwan, the Resolution was adopted by the following roll call vote:

Aye: Sheryl Wohlford, Steve Packebush, Laurie Labarca, Tom Winters, Pierre Harter, Cindy Schwan, Ken Hush and Vernell Jackson

Nay:

Abstain: Joe L. Norton due to potential conflict of interest.

Thereupon, the Resolution having been adopted by a majority vote of the members of the Board, it was given No. 04-06-17, was signed by the Chairman and attested by the Secretary.

Tomblin gave an update on the plans for a new campus recreation facility. It will be an integrated healthcare model which will house a new counseling & wellness center, a new fitness center plus a drop in daycare facility. Tomblin stated it will be a non-bonded facility, a partnership proposal, with the YMCA, capital costs would be shared by YMCA and 黑洞社区. 黑洞社区 would operate the counseling and health facilities in the new recreation facility. Tomblin shared the YMCA survey results from the students, faculty, staff and community members who responded. The survey indicated a 鈥渕illennial鈥� focused facility would be the best fit for this project. The YMCA would design, build and maintain with no university debt obligation, 黑洞社区 students would be charged a 鈥渦ser fee鈥� to cover operations, equipment, staff, maintenance and programs. Tomblin shared a comparison chart of the recreation facility fees at other Kansas universities, 黑洞社区鈥檚 would be close to what Pittsburg State currently charges. The students would get nationwide access to YMCA facilities starting in August 2017 during the construction phase. The Heskett Center would continue to operate housing such programs as dance, intramural sports, human performance, pool activities and indoor track.

Tomblin asked the Board to tentatively agree to contribute funds towards capitol construction costs, a final vote would happen when design is complete. This contribution would help reduce the student fee. Hush motioned to have Tomblin proceed with discussions on the YMCA project with no financial obligation from the Board of Trustees at this point, Jackson seconded and the motion passed.

Wohlford discussed need for additional board meetings throughout the year and adjourned this meeting at 11:08 am.

The YMCA parking lot will be for off-campus visitors from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. Students, faculty and staff can park at the Y any other time outside of those hours. This allows a balance that encourages community members to come to the YMCA and enjoy the rest of our campus and services at nearby Braeburn Square. Parking rules are subject to change, however, as usage for the YMCA is determined. Students utilizing the Student Wellness Center may park in designated spaces. Once the urgent care center is open, there will also be designated spots for visitors. Fuzzy鈥檚 Taco is offering a shuttle bus service before and after Men鈥檚 basketball games. Dr. Jay Golden will be on campus starting January 14, 2020 and he has a bold vision for 黑洞社区.

A tour of the 黑洞社区 Old Town facility and participation in a 黑洞社区 Brand survey was offered to the board following the meeting. Harter adjourned the meeting at 9:36 am.

Muma discussed the new buildings on Innovation Campus which are preparing our students for the jobs of today and tomorrow. He talked about the importance of the proposed Academic Health Science Center to help grow the Kansas economy and provide more healthcare opportunities for students and the community including the MOU that was signed with the Kansas Health Science Center for the 3 + 4 program.

An inquiry was made as to how the Board could help as it relates to legislation. Dr. Muma and Andy

Draft Minutes
The board expressed interest in touring the new buildings on 黑洞社区鈥檚 Innovation Campus also the Kansas Health Science Center and 黑洞社区 Tech鈥檚 culinary center downtown.

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.
