Space: the Final Frontier
How do Astronauts Savy and Sharon spend most of their time….
Savy and Sharon as they set out in their snazzy uniforms…
staring into space, the great beyond, convincing themselves that some way, somehow, we will be able to find some part of the univer(sity) to share with new alien life forms and the occasional new academic (although it is sometimes difficult to tell one from the other). Join us on our voyage of discovery and (re)search….
Space Reallocation and the Faculty of Arts
Responding to the Acquisition of 3465 Durocher
Background
June 15, 2006: University confirms acquisition of 3465 Durocher and informs Faculties of Arts, Law and Education of subsequent space reallocation
Designed to be consistent with 2 concepts of University Master Plan
– Remove non-academic functions from central campus– Geographic consolidation of Faculty activities
Principal Move: Accounting from Ferrier to 3465 Durocher
Forgotten Proposals!
New Arts BuildingRenovate Powell Student Services BuildingMove Anthropology to Peterson HallMove any department to Peterson HallAdd a new floor to the Redpath Library BuildingAdd two floors to the Redpath Library BuildingAppoint a new Director of Libraries who does not want
any floors added that do not involve only the libraries and last but not least…..
Last but not least….
Demolish the Leacock Building

Summary of Space Changes to FacultiesFaculty Loss Gain Net Change
Arts NCDH (900 sq. m.)
3715 Peel (510 sq. m.)
Ferrier (1000 sq. m.)
James (3 floors/1375 sq. m.)

Education McLennan (1150 sq. m.)
3715 Peel (510 sq. m.)

+30 sq. m.
Challenges and Opportunities
Immediate Challenge– Relocate current and planned activities from NCDH and
3715 Peel– Determine best use of Ferrier space
Opportunity– Think comprehensively about use of space– Leverage reallocation budgetary envelope to Faculty’s
advantage Principles
– Avoid multiple moves– Group units in an intellectually coherent manner
Process
June to December– gathering technical information, identifying alternatives and
evaluating feasibility of alternatives September to January
– Presentation to every Faculty and Chairs meeting as plans developed
– Special meeting of Chairs on space– Presentation to Faculty Space Committee and two presentations
to Faculty Planning Committee– 3 meetings with AUS executive and AUS town hall– English-French Working Group on Arts Building– Special meeting on classroom design– Numerous individual/group consultations and site tours with
those affected
Summary of Major Moves
To Peterson– CDAS, IDP Advising, IOWC, STANDD, Indigenous Rights, CIREQ– [Archeology Lab, Technology & Citizenship, Experimental Econ lab, Social
Stats lab, QICSS lab] To Arts
– French Department from Peterson Conversion of classrooms and VRC to offices and common space
To Ferrier 3– Arts Computer Labs from Leacock– History offices from Leacock and associated projects from NCDH
To Ferrier 2– Arts Computer Techs from Leacock– AHCS: Associated research projects and VRC from Arts
To Leacock 1– Classroom capacity from Arts and multi-use student rooms
Cost Estimates
Ferrier: 521,031– 327,541 for computer labs
Leacock 1 and 2: 956,316– 210,515 for Leacock 2
Arts West: 398,430 Arts: 1,107,003
– 429,932 for electrical upgrade
Total: 2,982,780
Notes on Costs
Total includes Facilities Management 35% mark up for professional fees, project contingency, project administration
Electrical upgrades in Arts probably should have been done long ago, and will certainly have to be done in the future
Leacock 2 renovations are not critical Computer lab estimates lower than expected

Faculty Offices (2) 3475 Peel Under consideration by English
Classrooms (260, 265, 270) Leacock 1 Create new teaching and learning space on Leacock 1
SIS Specialists Ferrier 2 Dependent on space
What are the benefits? Departments?
Some badly needed changes to air ventilation in Arts Relocate one of the most prestigious departments
from Peterson to the mainstream Arts corridor (French)
English and French departments to share the main Arts Building
Academic and research interests combined in Peterson
Acquisition of space in Ferrier In 2008 Arts to obtain first three floors of James
What are the benefits? Students?
Leacock– Increase in the teaching assistantship meeting rooms in
Leacock on the first floor– Two large undergraduate research areas on the first floor of
Leacock with 24 hour access– Fast track computer and printing service on the first floor of
Leacock – 1 classroom (55-60 students) and two smaller classrooms
(35-40) on first floor of Leacock– New exterior entrance to Leacock on the west side
Students/Ferrier
With move to Ferrier 24 hour laboratory access with no interruption for classes (with bathrooms!!!)
Technical assistants on site in both Leacock and Ferrier
Study area/lounge provided with snack area (in future, hopefully student managed food area)
Outdoor courtyard connecting Ferrier to Arts Access via Penfield and/or main campus
Last but not least…
A computerized classroom on the 2nd floor of Leacock with 40-50 computer stations
Ideal for graduate seminars and undergraduate courses/conferences for statistics and other applications
Equivalent number of classroom seats retained from the loss of classrooms on the second floor of Arts (255, 265, 270)
How does this affect me?
Noise during most of the summer in the Arts Building (1st and 2nd floor) and on the ground floor of Leacock
Possible move of some departments out of current space during this period
Phase 1: April – May 2007
Renovation of Ferrier (April-May)– Start of renovation to the Arts Building (air
ventilation and office construction)– Proposed move of laboratories: June 1st or
thereabouts– Possible relocation of affected departments
Phase 2: May, June, July 2007
Relocate lab furniture and equipment to Ferrier (June)
Continue with classroom renovations on the first and second floors of Leacock
Begin relocation of French from Peterson to Arts
Continue with ventilation/office space in Arts
Phase 3 – July, August
Have classrooms in Leacock operational by first week in August
Move French Department to Arts Move affected departments back to their
original space
Phase 4: September, October 2007
Peterson Hall– Begin CFI projects scheduled for Peterson Hall:
Campbell (History); Cowan (History), Niezen (Anthropology) and Engle-Warnick (Economics)
– Begin with relocation of units from New Chancellor Day Hall and 3715 Peel to Peterson
