Notes for Future Agendas :

1. Biology Teaching Labs. The space for 3 laboratories and 3 offices needed for undergraduate biology has been secured under a previous agreement. However, a cold room for storage of teaching supplies and specimens is needed by the start of the fall 2005 semester. There are 3 options to provide for this:
   • Build a cold room external to the existing building.
   • Take 1 of the labs or 2 of the offices and convert into a cold room
   • Request additional space
   G. Kraus and R. Mackinnon will provide an estimate of the space needed for the cold room. B&G will provide a recommendation with an identified funding source after this estimate is received.
