Unreserved Business College Council 1 December 2003

Council received the unconfirmed minutes of the meeting of the Student Affairs

831. Bursarial Committee
Council received the unconfirmed minutes of the unreserved business of the

832. Request for Sponsorship: The Tenth International Congress on Mathematical
Education (B.5298)
On the recommendation of the Bursarial Committee, Council declined the request
from the Joint Mathematical Council of the United Kingdom to sponsor United
Kingdom participants in the Congress.
833. North Court and Related Projects (B.5301(a))
Council noted that the total costs for North Court, the workshop compound, the
extension of the cricket pavilion (to provide new changing facilities) and the
relocation of the College bar had risen from an estimated £9,586,000 to
£10,712,000, brought about by the following:
(a) initial costs had been based on sketches which have now been developed to
full plans and the costs reflect this higher level of definition combined with
various improvements on the original, such as the enlargement of the
extension to the pavilion to accommodate more than thirty players at any one
time and this has, in turn, increased the cost of providing showers and other
services;
(b) in line with customer expectation and the long term benefit in terms of
durability and running costs, the quality of finishes has been improved from
those originally planned; and
(c) the amount of £542,000 of College Direct Costs were not included within the
Henry Riley spreadsheet (much of these were identified in the original paper
submitted to Council and following completion of the projects certain of the
external properties can be sold and this should enable a large part of these
costs to be recovered).
On the recommendation of the Bursarial Committee and subject to the North
Court Project Board being satisfied with the detailed proposals, Council approved
the expenditure of £10,712,000.
