Space and Remodeling Committee 12/16

The Space and Remodeling Committee meet on 12/16. In this meeting we went over the allocation of different funds the committee looks over and approves. Many of the funds went towards minor remodeling projects which were mostly used to improve classroom space. The major topic that was discussed was the five year campus fume hood program. This project's goal was to replace the fume hoods on campus that did not meet the ventilation standards. The project was called successful by the committee because 98.9% of the fume hoods meet the ventilation standards. The replacement of the bad fume hoods also created significant energy savings which helped the goal of reaching 20% energy reduction by 2010. The SPRC approved the request of the physical plant for an additional five years for the fume hood program. This money would be spend to research and improve the flow of air to reduce the energy cost of ventilation in the buildings.
