Minutes:
Selection of Chair: Roger Crouse volunteered to take the position of chair.
Student Lounge: Roger Crouse reviewed student survey results and comments along with a memo from Bill Egeler. The committee agreed the current student lounge next to the bookstore was the best location. Items of concern were; providing ventilation for a microwave, flooring material in the area of a microwave, suitability of the current furniture, and some sort of visual barrier between the lounge and corridor.
The committee asked that an estimate of costs to address the above concerns be presented at the next meeting along with drawings or pictures of what it might look like. Items to be included would be a cabinet with counter, vinyl tile around the cabinet area, an exhaust hood vented to the exterior, and some type of planters to act as a divider
Other business: Bill Egeler asked the committee to assist in the design and location of smoking shelters. The results of a survey will be used to help identify the specifics. It was suggested that a picnic type roof shelter with some sidewall wind protection be placed the required 50 feet from buildings. One suggestion was an area along the walk between Christie and Mailman buildings. The concern of the committee was how to anchor the structure and what utilities might be below it. The discussion will continue at the next meeting.
Next Meeting: The committee suggested the next meeting be held Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 11:00 a.m.
Adjourn: The meeting adjourned at 11:45 a.m. Last changed: Oct 25 2007 at 11:14 AM
