This summary highlights the Fall 2001 COE Faculty Meeting, focusing on the proposed building projects and the COE Master Plan. Key funding includes $100M from the state of California and ~$200M in matching funds. Current projects involve rejuvenating Cory Hall, constructing Citris II, an interdisciplinary IT building, and extending Citris I. Participants from various departments discuss the future of building programs targeting user needs, innovative research space, and improved campus integration. The overarching goal is to enhance COE’s infrastructure and identity on campus.

CITRIS Funding Pledges: • 100M$ from the State of Californiamostly for buildings, infrastructure. • ~200M$ matching funds and pledgesfrom corporate and private donors, research grants.
Current Building Plans #1: Cory Hall Rejuvenation:==> Create some new space; ==> Make usable any poor space;==> Most quickly yields project and surge space. #2: Citris II (Davis North Replacement):==> Create some new space; ==> A brand new building;==> Yields the bulk of new space! #3: Citris I (Soda Hall Extension): ==> As it is in the EIR it is mostly under ground;==> Postponed for now.

CITRIS II Building An Interdisciplinary IT Building • Microfab Laboratory (20k asf) • Distance Learning Facilities • High-tech Classrooms • Interdisciplinary Research Space A maximum of about 85k asf total
Programming Citris II A Challenging Task ! • Who are all the users ? • What are all the functions that we need to accommodate ? • What style research space is most preferred ? • What will it look like ? • How does it relate to theNaval Architecture Building ?

COE Master Plan CITRIS II is a challenge … CITRIS II is also an opportunity: • A large new building at the center of COE • Possibility for: • A new focal point for COE • Reorganize the distribution of shared facilities • Improve the traffic patterns within COE precinct Need to look at it in a larger context!
COE Master Plan • Johnson Fain Partnershave also been given the charter to draft (by 12-31-01) a Master Plan for COE for the next 15-20 years: • Consider Other Building Projects • Improve Pedestrian Traffic • Improve Service Access to Buildings • Give COE an identity and make it an integral Part of the Campus
Challenges Ahead • Come up with some concrete recommendations for building plans and construction priorities. • Develop a staging and surging plan, that keeps instruction and research going, and that moves everybody into new and improved “homes” with the fewest moves. • Continue fund-raising to make it all happen.
