Student Life Facilities Feasibility Study

Student Affairs Facilities Feasibility Study - Final Report August 2003 (4.4 MB)

Core East and Physical Education Areas Study

Done in conjunction with the Student Affairs Facilities Feasibility Study - (3.8 MB)

See projects below:

	Name	Description
	9078- Dark Fiber Optic Upgrade	Install underground conduit from the West entrance of campus to the West remote lot and from the 2300 Delaware property line (fronting Delaware Ave.) into the Building A data room. Then install one inch inter-duct in all of the new conduit and in some existing conduit between the West remote lot and the Physical Science Building. This work is part of a much larger project to bring additional connectivity to the campus.
	Biomedical Sciences Facility	Approximately 92,300 sf of wet laboratory space and core specialized facilities to support interdisciplinary research for the Departments of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Environmental Toxicology, Biomolecular Engineering concentrating in health and medical issues, and a vivarium for small rodents. The project site is an existing paved parking lot, located in the Science Hill area of the central campus.
	Cowell Student Health Center Expansion & Seismic Improvements	This project includes the renovation and construction of an addition to the student health services facility including clinical services, urgent care services, health education, personal counseling, and administrative spaces. The proposed expansion may increase the gross square footage of the building by approximately 30%. Proposed expansion may include a second-story addition comprised of lightweight construction materials to minimize seismic mass. Seismic renovations may include new and retrofitted concrete shear walls, braced frames, foundation modifications and upgrades.
	Digital Arts Facility	Approximately 27,000 asf of studio, instruction and research space.
	Employee Housing Master Plan	The Employee Housing Master Plan will establish ways to "operationalize" elements of the 2006 Employee Housing Administrative Plan (EHAP) by documenting specific housing program mixes, physical planning concepts, sit analysis, options and scenarios for increasing employee housing, financial feasibility analysis, and potential ways to structure resource allocations. The EHMP should conform to the land use principles identified in the 2005 Long Range Development Plan and will also identify procurement and/or development opportunities that exist off campus.
	Engineering Audit of Campus Water Use	UC Santa Cruz has made a commitment to conduct an engineering audit of campus water use as one of several mitigations for the environmental impacts of the projected increases in campus water use over the next 15 years. The scope will include gathering background data, identify options for reducing water consumption, conducting an analysis of the cost implementation over the next 5 years. At a minimum the audit will assess the efficiency of plumbing fixtures in campus facilities, irrigation systems, and the campus cooling water system. The audit may also include focused building audits of one or more laboratory or residential buildings or other buildings with high water use.
	Heller Drive Bike Lanes	Bikelanes on Heller Dr. from Empire Grade to McLaughlin Dr. The proposed project would construct Class II bike lanes along approximately 1 mile of Heller Drive, one of three primary campus roads at UC Santa Cruz. The project would also include removal and installation of asphalt-concrete curbs, guard rails and retaining walls, and drainage improvements.
	Infrastructure Improvements Phase 2: Stormwater	The second of two phases of improvements to the campus storm water drainage system. Construction will include improvements at approximately 33 locations along campus stream channels and drainages. Phase 2 storm water improvements will address erosion problems within natural drainage channels, and improve the capacity of some sinkholes in the drainage.
	Marine Science Campus (formerly Long Marine Lab) Coastal Long Range Development Plan	Development plan for the 98-acre Marine Science Campus (formerly Long Marine Lab), including Younger Lagoon Reserve.
	North Science Hill Area Master Plan	The purpose of this study is to develop a flexible physical master plan for future development of buildings, outdoor spaces and circulation systems within the portion of the core known as Science Hill. At the same time, the work is intended to serve as background for the 2005-2020 Long Range Development Plan currently in progress.
	Porter College Seismic and Capital Renewal Projects & College House B Addition	This project combines capital renewal and seismic corrections for Porter College Dining Common building and Porter College House B, a residential dormitory, on the Santa Cruz campus. The scope of work for Porter College Dining Common includes seismic corrections and the renovation and maintenance of the original dining hall, servery, kitchen and food preparation areas, and the Hungry Slug Café. The budget for the Dining portion is 13,000,000. Project scope for Porter College House B includes capital renewal and seismic corrections of structural deficiencies. The capital renewal component in Porter House B would include replacement of the exterior skin of the building, extensive restroom renovations, correction of code and accessibility inadequacies. Also included would be site capital renewal serving the entire Porter College complex. The budget for the Res B portion is 28,000,000. The Porter College House B addition project would add a sixth floor to the existing building.
	Ranch View Terrace (formerly Inclusion Area D) Housing, Phase I	Forty-five single family homes will be constructed as the first phase of a potential eighty-four unit housing development for UCSC faculty and staff. Project will use third-party development method.
	UCSC Long Range Development Plan 2005-2020	Comprehensive planning activity prepares an update to the 1988 Long Range Development Plan. The effort resulted in the UCSC Long Range Development Plan 2005-2020 (2005 LRDP) and associated Environmental Impact Report.
