1. Program Committee Chair Updates

1. Phase I

1. Greenhouse/classroom – groundbreaking was held and work is underway
2. Campus Center – value engineering (budget cuts) was made and included a decrease in square footage, some of the glass in the main entrance was eliminated, cyber cafŽ was removed, and the 2^nd and 3^rd floor building exterior edges were straightened.

1. All Student Development will be located on the 1^st floor of the campus center, except for Student Activities which will be located in D-1010. Planning began over a year ago and included several trips to various colleges. It shall be much better for students and will provide Òone-stopÓ service.
2. Library- programming began in May 2008 and site visits were conducted. The final square footage will be approximately 29,500 square feet which is down slightly from the original plan. Size of the collection shall remain the same.
3. Administration- will be located on the 3^rd floor. The final floor by floor building plan shall be presented next month. The existing board room will become more of a community room.

1. Facility Services - received schematic design approval from Board of Trustees and will now progress to design and development. It will be 35,000 square feet and will include receiving. Budget has been estimated at $7,900,000. Groundbreaking shall be September 29, 2009.
2. J/C Building remodeling – Dennis Haynes, Chair, held the first programming committee meeting on 4/15/09. The following planning ideas are just a few of the decisions to be determined:

• Moving Math to J building
• Fine Arts – expanded theatre, 3^rd floor expansion
• Cafeteria may become a conference center
• Bridge offices relocated to create student space
• HR offices removed to expand theatre lobby
• Galley and Art storage – current bookstore location
• Service Center removed to provide welcoming entry

1. Classroom remodeling – will begin May 16 on the 4^th floor of J building. Fifty six classrooms and offices are being renovated and include new ceiling grids, paint, furniture, and floor tile.
2. Eastern Campus Site – Dennis Haynes provided an update on potential locations on the District’s east side.
3. Site Development – Parking issues due to construction will begin this summer. Staging areas will decrease parking in several campus locations. Some lots will be revamped and aligned to provide additional spaces.

1. Phase II

1. Nursing/Allied Health
2. Natural Sciences expansion - continuing to explore possibilities for the Nursing/Allied Health building.
3. Automotive Expansion- dealership visits were conducted, and the potential of a partnership with an industry can provide additional money. Plans are for a 50% increase in enrollment. Program statement has been developed and specs have been written for the RFP.
4. Culinary Arts/ Hospitality – Meeting every two weeks, and they have developed a program statement. The plan is to double the size of the current student body enrolled in these two programs and the new facility would need to accommodate that.  The current space allocated to CA/HOSP is already too small for the current student counts so just doubling the current space will not be adequate to accommodate additional students and to allow for more growth in downtown Joliet.  Also, the committee would like to have the Adult and Family Services and Workforce Development programs to be housed in the Renaissance Center and not in the new CA/HOSP facility. 
5. Workforce Development - No update at this time
