5 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS SUNY Cobleskill Facilities Master Plan – Phase 5 Report November 2011 Approach to Library, Collaboration, and Food Service While the final FMP does not recommend an addition to the Library, it does provide more space for the Library by relocating C.A.S.E. and the Writing Center from the lower floor of Van Wagenen to Alumni Hall. The FMP envisions the library as a knowledge and media resource as well as a social hub (secondary to the Student & Community Center). Libraries are changing and evolving into multi-media environments, with an increasing focus on digital resources as opposed to print resources. Renovations to the Van Wagenen Library at SUNY Cobleskill are proposed for the second half of this planning cycle. Program and pedagogical change will be initiated as part of a future renovation. In addition to a renovation of the building, the final FMP proposes to upgrade the landscape and plaza area in the immediate vicinity of the Library. The primary dining facilities on the campus are currently located in Champlin Hall and Prentice Hall. While the College provided positive feedback on existing campus Food Service, the FMP relocates one of the large dining facilities and provides a new “food court,” style dining hall in the Student & Community Center. In addition, three satellite cafes are provided across the campus—in Warner-Holmes, Van Wagenen Library, and the new Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources [CANR]. Other campus zones, such as the Upper Quad, will be provided with vending machines and lounge seating. To address campus Food Service, the final FMP recommends: • • • • • Demolishing Champlin Hall and providing a new food courtstyle dining hall (275 seats) in the Student & Community Center Locating the main dining hall (400 seats) in Prentice Hall with “all-you-care-to-eat” service Providing a new intimate dining room (75 seats) in Prentice Hall with higher-quality finishes that is also the American Heritage dining room / class lab Maintain the commissary in Prentice Hall Relocate the main CAS offices to Prentice Hall Collaboration space is notably lacking on the SUNY Cobleskill campus. This type of space includes areas for informal study and conversation that are more dynamic than typical study rooms. They may accommodate a range of collaborative learning, from casual to semi-formal, and are sometimes supported by technology. The FMP proposes to add a significant number of Collaboration hubs throughout the campus, particularly in academic buildings and the Student & Community Center. Approach to Campus Entry Sequence The sequence of entry from Route 7 is an important consideration not only for functionality but also for the visual impression created by the campus. Currently the campus turns its “back side” to Route 7, with the “front door” of Knapp Hall facing the interior of the campus. The final FMP addresses the challenge of the entry sequence and presence of the campus along Route 7 in several ways: • • • The Student & Community Center faces Route 7 and is accessible from the highway, creating a prominent “front door” to the campus A new traffic roundabout with landscaping and collegiate signage is proposed at the main campus entrance A tree buffer is provided along Route 7, creating an attractive entry sequence, shielding the campus from the highway and drawing attention to the new Student & Community Center Approach to Albany Avenue Albany Avenue is the loop road that encircles the east side of the campus. The FMP proposes several changes to Albany Avenue to improve vehicular access and pedestrian safety: • • • Reconstruct paving and curbs Repair parking surfaces along Albany Avenue Reconfigure portions of the road to provide cul-de-sacs at the new Student & Community Center and Prentice Hall Approach to Parking As mentioned previously, the campus does not have a critical need for additional parking spaces. There is, however, a need to upgrade or repair the surface of several lots and to relocate some parking spaces for better functionality. The FMP proposes minor changes to campus parking, including: • • • • Relocate the lot adjacent to the Arena Center to make room for the new covered Arena Provide a new parking lot across the road from the Arena Center to accommodate trailers and RVs during events Expand the F-Lot with additional parking spaces Repair and upgrade existing parking lots campus-wide including lighting, curbs, paving, drainage, and signage Capital Funding Over the course of the FMP process, recommendations that further the mission and vision of the College have been the focus. The proposed initiatives are allocated to three timeframes, the five-year periods of 2013- 2018, 2018-2023, and 2023-2029. The distribution of projects between these timeframes is based on campus input, phasing sequences, and estimated project timelines. Costs are assigned to each funding cycle: Funding Cycles Project Cost Escalated Cost 2013-2018 $63,091,155 $110,209,489 2018-2023 $88,347,249 $185,517,150 2023-2029 $5,666,500 $14,303,636 Total $157,104,904 $310,030,275 Lead-in initiatives, which have already commenced or are projected to begin prior to 2013, are included in the project phasing but will not impact plans for new capital funding. These initiatives include: • • • • • Wheeler Hall Addition and Renovation 2011 Facilities Master Plan [FMP] Campus-wide Academic Study Knapp Plaza Center for Agriculture & Natural Sciences [CANR] 10
5 SUNY Cobleskill Facilities Master Plan – Phase 5 Report FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS November 2011 Closing SUNY Cobleskill is a unique institution within the SUNY system. The College is one of the oldest agricultural schools of its kind in New York, and is one of a handful of remaining state agriculture and technology colleges in the State. It is the goal of the FMP to provide a plan for campus facilities that addresses the planning objectives identified by the College and promotes the mission and vision established in SUNY Cobleskill’s Second Century Enterprise Strategic Plan. While the FMP addresses a wide range of issues, the three biggest moves include: • • • Providing a Student & Community Center building to support student and community activities Renovating and providing an addition to Prentice Hall to support a consolidated Culinary Arts program Creating a new Lower Quad to provide a sense of order for the west side of campus Other initiatives focus on improvements at a departmental level, such as creating a “home” for Business in Home Economics Hall and reenvisioning Old Gym Hall as the Campus’s “creative arts” building. As part of the FMP, Alumni Hall receives a renovation and addition to become an “Information and Technology Commons,” providing a technology hub adjacent to Van Wagenen Library. On the more general end of the spectrum, an overarching aim of the FMP is to provide space for informal learning throughout the campus. This includes indoor and outdoor space, and is achieved through initiatives such as landscaping to create outdoor “laboratories,” providing collaboration spaces adjacent to classrooms and labs, and incorporating opportunities for spontaneous conversation into the design of academic buildings (nonparallel corridors, etc.). It is the aim of the FMP to support continued excellence at SUNY Cobleskill as it makes the transition to a primarily four-year baccalaureate institution and builds upon the College’s tradition of experiential, career-oriented learning. 800,000 nasf 700,000 nasf 600,000 nasf 577,322 nasf 500,000 nasf 400,000 nasf 300,000 nasf 200,000 nasf 114,271 nasf 100,000 nasf 58,299 nasf Wheeler addition opens Various farm bldgs demolished 231 nasf/FTE 220 nasf/FTE 209 nasf/FTE 578,408 nasf 547,846 nasf 479,538 nasf 231 nasf/FTE 220 nasf/FTE 225 nasf/FTE 2,505 FTE 2,494 FTE 2,484 FTE 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 578,408 nasf 547,846 nasf 559,896 nasf 199 nasf/FTE 451,984 nasf 215 nasf/FTE 2,474 FTE 532,342 nasf Wheeler reopens 221 nasf/FTE 550,842 nasf 221 nasf/FTE 2,496 FTE 550,842 nasf CANR opens Various farm bldgs demolished 565,921 nasf 235 nasf/FTE 574,301 nasf 243 nasf/FTE 2,518 FTE 113,812 nasf 592,601 nasf 227 nasf/FTE 546,204 nasf 239 nasf/FTE 2,539 FTE 576,492 nasf 227 nasf/FTE 553,246 nasf 238 nasf/FTE 2,561 FTE 580,763 nasf Old Gym reopens Classroom upgrade complete Equestrian expansion complete 232 nasf/FTE 580,763 nasf 240 nasf/FTE 2,582 FTE 599,656 nasf Coll Com Ctr opens Mackey reopens 577,767 nasf 247 nasf/FTE 637,105 nasf 249 nasf/FTE 2,603 FTE 642,775 nasf 245 nasf/FTE 637,105 nasf 247 nasf/FTE 2,624 FTE 118,336 nasf 642,775 nasf 648,445 nasf 2,645 FTE 245 nasf/FTE 648,445 nasf 245 nasf/FTE 227 nasf/FTE 561,745 nasf 243 nasf/FTE 2,665 FTE 605,095 nasf 221 nasf/FTE 541,161 nasf 241 nasf/FTE 2,686 FTE 594,803 nasf Alumni reopens Prentice and addition open 223 nasf/FTE 523,946 nasf 251 nasf/FTE 2,686 FTE 598,682 nasf Curtis-Mott reopens 588,417 nasf 227 nasf/FTE 547,856 nasf 250 nasf/FTE 2,686 FTE 122,306 nasf 610,185 nasf Champlin demolished 211 nasf/FTE 498,936 nasf 236 nasf/FTE 2,686 FTE 566,265 nasf 219 nasf/FTE Van Wagenen reopens 237 nasf/FTE 546,765 nasf 635,339 nasf 235 nasf/FTE 237 nasf/FTE 2,686 FTE 2,686 FTE 588,802 nasf 635,339 nasf 635,339 nasf 2,686 FTE 237 nasf/FTE 635,339 nasf 237 nasf/FTE 635,339 nasf 2,686 FTE 237 nasf/FTE 635,339 nasf 237 nasf/FTE NASF NASF/FTE (adjusted for renovations) (adjusted for renovations) NASF Built or Renovated since 2000 FTE NASF/FTE Total NASF Need Instructional NASF Need NASF (not adjusted for renovations) Graphic 3 NASF Year by Year 11
