Guiding Principles:

– Neo Georgian Aesthetic – Civic proportions– Beautiful – “Wow factor” – distinguished– Campus Great Lawn with outdoor teaching

opportunity– Three ‘naming’ opportunities worked into

building design– Break ground next summer– Creative, innovative thinking– Buildings reflect mission of CNU –

• ”Great things are expected”

Common Goals:• Effective Laboratory Spaces and

Equipment for Faculty/Student Teaching and Research

• Access to Natural Light

• Adequate Office Space

• Flexible, Technology-Enhanced Classrooms

• Student/Faculty Interaction Space – Commons

• Seminar Space

Initial Program Summary:

• Faculty Offices 189

• Small Classrooms (0-19 seats) 24– 288 sections *

• Medium Classrooms (26-49 seats) 37– 444 sections *

• Large Auditoriums (150 seats) 2

* Sections are based on 12 sections/classroom based on 80% utilization

Budget

• Academic Buildings: projected escalated cost at $275/sf

• Current approved funds: $11.8M + $10.7M = $22.5M

• Square feet allowed under current funding is 81,818 gsf for two academic buildings ($22.5M / $275 = 81,818 gsf)

Flexibility• Flat Floor

• 1,125 average square feet

• 25 to 50 loose chairs at tables

• Power and data at instructor’s station, in floor and around walls

• Consider wireless

• 22.5 to 45.0 asf/seat

Case Study Classroom

•Tiered Floor•1,800 average square feet•60 chairs at tables•Power and data throughout•Wireless•Smart Lecturn•25 to 35 asf/seat
