AGENDA ITEM 13

Topic: LEED Certification for Facilities

Issue: Coleman – Phase 1 and Phase 2

The Vision 2020 facilities referendum included a major overhaul of the Coleman Center. The Coleman Center was constructed in 1923. A major addition to the building was completed in 1939. The facility at one time had a cafeteria, a library and a major auditorium. These large areas were partitioned over the years to become classrooms and offices. The facility also housed diverse programs ranging from machine tool instruction to business education. As a result of these issues, the Coleman Center was a very energy inefficient facility, lacking adequate ventilation and heating/cooling balance.

The design approved for the renovation of Coleman was at the LEED Silver standard. It is a reasonable estimate that achieving LEED Silver will result in an annual savings of 20% in energy cost (approximately $30,000 per year). The savings may result in a full return on investment (ROI) within two years. It is recommended to seek LEED Silver certification.

Integrated Technology Center The Integrated Technology Center was constructed in 1974 as a one-story facility for welding and wood techs. The building foundation allowed for future construction up to four stories. Following referendum approval in 1992, a second story was added to the facility in 1994 to house public safety facilities. The Integrated Technology Center is a new four-story building constructed on the foundation of the former Applied Technology Center. The Integrated Technology Center will house all of the college’s manufacturing and building systems programs. The co-location of these programs will allow for integrated curriculum and pathways certificates in these fields. The facility will have community and industry partners designed to attract the next generation of workers to these fields. The design for the new Integrated Technology Center is targeted to be certified at LEED Platinum and as such, the facility will serve as a living laboratory for the building systems programs. The programs that will relocate into the Integrated Technology Center were previously located in the former Applied Technology Center, the Coleman Annex and the third floor of the Kumm Center. Note that the Integrated Technology Center is also a larger space in order to accommodate future growth. Recognizing the difference in square footage, the estimated savings of 20% in utility costs will be approximately $36,000 per year. Under these assumptions, the return on investment for LEED Platinum certification will be within two years.

Horticulture Education Center The Horticulture Education Center is a new facility that will house the Landscape Horticulture program and (through a collaborative agreement) the Hillview Urban Agriculture Center. The Landscape Horticulture program currently uses leased facilities to offer the program. Hillview was formerly located in an old neighborhood greenhouse. They promote locally grown food and healthy eating. Mayo Health System is a major partner with Hillview. As a green building, with significant community partners, it is recommended to seek LEED Silver certification. Viroqua Regional Learning Center The Viroqua Regional Learning Center building (a former grocery store) was acquired following the successful 1992 referendum. Due to funding limits established by the referendum vote, additional private contributions were obtained in order to acquire and remodel the facility. Initially, Western acquired a portion of the building (approximately 70%). The remaining portion was developed for retail and later as an alternative school. Several years later, the college acquired the remaining portion of the building. The south end of the building was remodeled in phase 1 of a two phase process. As a former grocery store,


AGENDA ITEM 13

the building was not energy-efficient by design. Furthermore, there were problems with moisture in the exterior wall. Energy costs were on average $24,850. Based upon an assumed 20% improvement in energy efficiency, the college will reduce annual costs by $4,981 with an ROI of 10 years. The remodeled facility was designed at LEED Silver standards. It is recommended that the college complete the project for a LEED Silver certified building. Western’s Energy Efficiency Story

Regarding Coleman, it is a major accomplishment to achieve LEED Silver status, as well as the level of ROI, on a facility that was constructed in 1923 and 1939. At the same time, LEED Platinum certification for the Integrated Technology Center will reflect the true nature of the facility as a living laboratory. The Vision 2020 facilities referendum included major renovations of two existing buildings-Coleman and the Applied Tech Center. HSR has estimated that construction of two new buildings, with the same size and features of these two facilities, would likely have cost approximately $20 million additional in total construction cost. Even factoring in transition and interim facility costs, there is a savings of approximately $17 million by repurposing existing buildings. And through LEED certification, the college is able to demonstrate that the investment in current facilities is a more responsible model than demolition; still resulting in a high quality facilities that will have many years of use ahead. It is also noteworthy that the community survey, taken in advance of the 2012 referendum, indicated that the highest priority was energy efficiency. Furthermore, in a spring 2015 survey, energy efficiency was a priority for 90% of the students at Western. The Vision 2020 facilities reflects these priorities. It is important to share this story. It is recommended that this information be displayed adjacent to the LEED Certification plaque at entrance locations for the both the Coleman Center and Integrated Technology Center. LEED Certification During the last year, the Budget and Facilities Subcommittee has discussed options for approaching LEED certified buildings. Essentially, the question centers around the issue of applying for LEED certified status, which bears an application cost. The recommendation is to complete the Coleman, Integrated Technology, Horticulture Education Center and Viroqua RLC projects as designed and apply to obtain the appropriate LEED certification. The design and construction for these projects is well underway, and there is considerable value to certifying LEED status. Furthermore, we are recommending that we design and remodel the Kumm Center project to LEED Silver standards, but do not submit the application for LEED certification designation. This project is at an earlier stage of design. In essence, we will be able to try out the concept of working with contractors to design toward LEED Silver without certification. Based upon our experience, this will allow the college to consider this as an option for future projects.

Recommandation: Approve the LEED Certification & Facilities plan as outlined.

Topic: Modular Education Center

Issue: Western’s 2020 Vision comprehensive plan for facility improvements involves significant remodeling and construction in three existing buildings. This has created a need to temporarily relocate some programs until the construction is completed. The temporary locations have been assessed by administrators and faculty to assure the continuation of a quality learning environment and the availability of student support. Relocation of the following program(s) to the designated temporary locations during the estimated timeframes is recommended while facility construction, remodeling, and improvements are under completion:

Western is tentatively budgeting for the following:

Primary Vendor for Consideration: ModSpace located in Elgin, IL. Square Footage: 6,800 total (six classrooms; 1 restroom) Monthly Rent: $4,600 Term of Lease: August 2015-May 2016 (nine months) Estimated Start-up Costs:

April 1, 2015

Current Policy

C0208 CONFLICT OF INTEREST and ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS

GIFTS No employee shall solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or herself or any member of the employee’s household, any gift, including but not limited to any gratuity, service, favor, food, entertainment, lodging, transportation, loan, loan guarantee or any other thing of monetary value, from any person or entity that has, or is seeking to obtain, contractual or other business or financial relations with the College.

The prohibition on accepting gifts does not apply to:

A gift given by a member of the employee’s immediate family or by an individual if the gift is given for a non-business purpose and is motivated by a close personal friendship and not by the position of the employee;

Informational materials in the form of books, articles, periodicals, other written materials, audio tapes, videotapes, or other forms of communication;

Sample merchandise, promotional items, and appreciation tokens, if they are routinely given to customers, suppliers or potential customers or suppliers in the ordinary course of business;

Unsolicited tokens or awards of appreciation, honorary degrees, or bona fide awards in recognition of public service in the form of a plaque, trophy, desk item, wall memento and similar items; provided, that any such item shall not be in a form which can be readily converted to cash;

There may be circumstances where refusal of reimbursement of a gift (such as a lunch or dinner) may be awkward and contrary to the larger interests of the College; and

Loans from established financial institutions made in the ordinary course of business on usual and customary terms.

If an employee accepts a gift other than office supplies under these provisions, the employee must disclose to the Business Office a description of the gift, the name of the person or organization who provided the gift, and the value of the gift, if known, or its estimated value, if unknown. Disclosure must be in writing (e-mail is preferred) and be made within seven (7) calendar days of the acceptance of the gift; When it is in the best interest of the College, the Business Office may at any time restrict an employee(s) from accepting additional gifts under these provisions.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Employees shall not engage in or have a financial interest in any activity that raises a reasonable question of a conflict of interest with their duties and responsibilities as employees. “Indirect financial interest” in this case includes a substantial interest on the part of a parent, spouse, or minor child of the employee. This shall not apply to ownership of publicly traded stocks or bonds where such ownership constitutes less than two percent (2%) of the total outstanding amount of the stocks or bonds of the issuing entity.

The normal employment compensation of a spouse whose regular, ongoing employer or business has a contractual arrangement with the College shall not be considered a “benefit” to the employee, provided the contract with the College was procured without any participation, assistance or influence by the employee.


Employees shall not participate in outside activities for financial remuneration wherein their staff positions are used to sell goods or services to students.
