2 Statement and Statistics President Antonio Perez The Borough of Manhattan Community College has been providing quality higher educational opportunities to the City of New York for more than 50 years. BMCC continues to further CUNY's mission of providing academic excellence and career development opportunities to a diverse student population. The college has a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum, as well as career programs in the health sciences, business, computer science, video arts and technology, human services, corporate and cable communication and forensic science. These programs provide entry-level skills and excellent upward mobility opportunities for students. On-the-job training is provided for many students through the cooperative education and career placement programs. The liberal arts program, career programs and the business administration programs enable students to transfer to CUNY and other senior colleges. BMCC continues to be an integral resource and supportive partner in the redevelopment of Downtown Manhattan. The college has expanded its direct services to the corporate community with many employee and workforce development programs. This has enabled the college to develop strategic relationships with area businesses, which in turn have provided valuable internships and careers for our students. During the nearly 35 years BMCC has been in Tribeca, the college s growth has expanded from the main campus at 199 Chambers St to include Fiterman Hall at 245 Greenwich St and leased facilities at 70 Murray St and 25 Broadway. The college and CUNY realize that even with four campus centers, BMCC continues to operate with a significant space deficit of no less than 800,000 square feet. This space shortage creates increased demands on BMCC's Chambers Street campus infrastructure. The college has prioritized making the main building more energy efficient and sustainable, while initiating modernization efforts to overhaul sections of its under-designed mechanical and HVAC systems. Work is finishing on the comprehensive reconstruction of the pool to address serious structural and HVAC concerns as part of the college s sustainability initiative. BMCC continues to increase its energy conservation efforts. Within the past year, BMCC installed a 350-ton chiller dedicated to support the college s 925-seat main theater, independent of the main building and therefore allowing for performances when the college is closed. Additional in-house projects include the installation of lighting controls, LED lights, sensors and ballasts to minimize electrical use. With the replacement and renovation of the Chambers Street roof complete, work has begun on a 325-kilowatt solar panel installation and battery storage system. These projects will positively affect the college's learning and working environment and affect student retention and the quality of life on campus for everyone. The increased demands of technology and the academic community's dependence on services that are uninterrupted and mobile have created new demands on our capital programs in the areas of bandwidth, redundancy and thermal controls. BMCC remains committed to a capital improvement program that will reinforce and modernize the infrastructure of its aging and limited physical facilities. With the assistance of CUNY, BMCC will begin the overdue physical master plan process in an effort to bring the physical space in line with the student, faculty and staff needs of CUNY's largest undergraduate institution.

The units are well past their useful life and require more frequent maintenance. The original condensate drain piping is galvanized; rust frequently clogs the piping, and water backs up onto the floor, causing flooding that damages flooring and ceiling tiles. Funding is requested in four phases in anticipation of the long duration involved in replacing the fan coil units. January 2020 (B) Ceiling Replacement A recent egress study recommended installation of additional sprinklers throughout 199 Chambers St. to improve fire egress. This will be accompanied by replacement of the original 1-foot by 1-foot ceiling tiles and suspension system that have deteriorated because of age, wear and water leakage. A new 2-foot by 2-foot grid system will be installed. This work will be completed in phases since the building is fully occupied. The first phase will include floors one through three. January 2019 (B) Campus-Wide Emergency Resiliency Program This project will strengthen campus resiliency and recovery capability by providing a 2,500-gallon emergency fuel storage tank with dual fuel capabilities in the basement of Fiterman Hall, along with the removal of the current tank. Additionally, this project will provide a backup generator on the roof at the 199 Chambers St. building, away from the river flood zone. These measures will enable the college to serve its core educational mission with improved emergency response and service delivery, allow college facilities to serve as a host for emergency operation services and provide an uninterrupted telecommunications center for the downtown area.

5 City Reso-A Requests FY 2018 (City Council and Borough Presidents) In priority order / costs in $ thousands Enclosed Pedestrian Extension This project will enclose the open passageway separating the two wings of the third floor of 199 Chambers St. to provide a continuous, cohesive link between them. The enclosed pedestrian extension will allow the college community to traverse the building without venturing outside. This project also will alleviate clustering and overcrowding at the third-floor courtyard entrance and exit doors. Construction of the pedestrian extension will include repositioning of the mechanical HVAC system for the Richard Harris Terrace meeting room one floor below the passageway. March 2019 LED Lighting Conversion in Public Areas Phase: Phase: This project will replace the outdated fluorescent lighting fixtures in various public areas on campus with LED units to provide greater illumination, energy conservation and safety. Replacement will reduce the labor costs required to install hard-to-find and ever-more expensive replacement parts. Moreover, providing the new LED lighting system will result in an improved learning and work environment.
