4 Overview of the Scope Phase 1: Data Collection Phase 2: Analysis, Alternatives and Findings Phase 3: Refinement of the Preferred Alternative and Proposed Implementation Strategy Phase 4: Develop 10-year Capital Improvement Plan 4

5 Phase 1. Data Collection Request for Information (RFI) - December Site visits and facility inspections Interviews with Executives, Deans, Department Heads, PI s and Key Stakeholders Organization of the data and presentation of findings Deliverable: Summary of current conditions and ratings of adequacy of space. Identification of which buildings should be renovated; validate which have to be demolished 5

6 Phase 2. Analysis, Alternatives and Findings Current space deficits Projected space deficits Candidate buildings for renovation and highest and best use analysis Summary of unmet, projected needs Deliverable: At least 3 scenarios to address needs by a combination of existing facilities and new construction 6

7 Phase 3. Development of Preferred Alternative Early evaluation of the highest and best use of the Gant Complex A comprehensive renovation strategy for other existing buildings to produce highest and best use A preliminary strategy for Science 1 and Science 2 Deliverable: A comprehensive strategy to include phasing and logistics for achieving both renovation and new construction objectives 7

8 Phase 4. Capital Improvement Program Identify sequence and timing of implementation program Produce preliminary cost estimates and proposed cash flow estimates to achieve the program Identify secondary and tertiary moves (spaces to be vacated and re-allocated), estimated costs and timeline Deliverable: CIP Summary and Report 8
