CAMPUS PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT – AUGUST 23, 2013 SAMARITAN HEALTH SERVICES SPORTS MEDICINE CLINIC

REVIEW

PROJECT OVERVIEW Site assignment, via a long-term ground-lease to Samaritan Health Services on OSU property, is requested for development of a ~18,000 SF two-story clinical services facility to predominately serve OSU student athletes, but will also be available to serve OSU personnel and the general community. Capital development and operating agreement negotiations between OSU and Samaritan Health Services are in process.

The building will support clinical sports medicine services. An operating agreement with the sports medicine clinic provider is anticipated to identify educational opportunities for OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Services other OSU students, and offer interaction involving sports medicine physicians and allied health professionals with faculty and students. In addition, there may be specific collaboration opportunities between OSU faculty and sports medicine clinicians including use of the clinical meeting and training spaces, and access to core imaging equipment in support of academic research

OSU currently trains ~500 student athletes across various athletic programs, all of whom would be eligible for treatment at the sports medicine clinic. OSU athletic programs served by a convenient clinical presence include football, men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s rowing, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, gymnastics, men’s and women’s track, swimming and cross country. The number of students served in a given time period would vary by the time of year and illness or injury rates.

Tammy Bray, Dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences, and Bob De Carolis, Oregon State University’s Athletic Director, and other OSU administrative staff reviewed the educational opportunities available to her faculty and students with development of a Sports Medicine Clinic on the OSU campus. Dean Bray has expressed support for the concept of a sports medical facility on the OSU campus, as it would provide an interactive place for enrichment of PHHS academic mission. She has allowed the use of her communications on this subject to be included which you will find as Attachment A.

Executive Summary and Recommendation

The OSU Office of Capital Planning & Development reviewed 10 potential locations that would meet the needs of a sports medicine clinic near existing OSU Intercollegiate Athletic facilities predominately located in Gill Coliseum, Valley Football Center and the Sports Performance Center including the Basketball Practice Facility. The preliminary review is summarized in the Site Analysis Matrix on Page 3.

Key evaluation criteria included 1) proximity to athletic facilities to expedite immediate care for sports-related injuries, 2) potential conflicts with existing or planned infrastructure systems, 3) flood plain development areas, and 4) potential impacts to the capacity of existing vehicular systems and associated demands on vehicular roadway improvements.

SAMARITAN HEALTH SERVICES – SPORTS MEDICINE CLINIC – AUGUST 23, 2013

2 of 10

OSU Capital Planning & Development’s Manager in collaboration with OSU’s Intercollegiate Athletics facilities and operations staff members reviewed 10 potential sites for development. A preferred site is identified. The preferred site 1) best addressed the key proximity and access needs for a Sport Medicine Clinic operation adjacent to OSU Intercollegiate Athletics facilities, 2) provided the most effective operational efficiencies without disruption to existing OSU Intercollegiate Athletics logistics, materiel distribution, and peak game-day activities; 3) provided an adequately sized site in close proximity to the athletic facilities; and 4) could support future and directly adjacent OSU research building programs by utilizing clinical programs and space, staff - faculty - student collaborations, and clinical imaging and laboratory equipment.

A sports medicine clinic is the potential first step in the development of a future critical mass of OSU health and life sciences translational research buildings along 30th Street and adjacent to the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. The potential of two new OSU research facilities - each approximately 120,000 SF at four stories - adjacent to the sports medicine clinic would provide collaboration and shared equipment use to extend OSU research opportunities. Conceptual development is identified in Attachment B.

Finally, development on the preferred site will not require Historic Resource Commission review, will not conflict with floodplains or other natural protected areas, and it will not conflict with existing or planned infrastructure. The site will likely result in required vehicular roadway intersection improvements at 30th and Western Boulevard, and will displace existing parking – approximately 50 surface parking spaces will be replaced at an alternative location, which has been tentatively identified in Attachment B.

SITE SUMMARY Sites 1, 2, 3 and 7 meet the Advantages criteria. Site #1, with only two disadvantages and satisfying the advantages, appears to be the preferred site from the 10 sites reviewed.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Project: OSU –Samaritan Health Services Sport Medicine Clinic

Location: Adjacent to Reser Stadium, Valley Football Center, Merit Truax, and Magruder Hall.

Sector: F

Located within Transition Area: No

Historic District: No

Existing Use of Site: The site is a surface parking lot which is used currently on game days, although in future may serve OSU as lower-cost OSU staff, faculty, visitor, and student parking.

Previous Approvals: NA

Proposed Use: Medical facility providing sports medicine services. As many as 750 students could be involved in educational activities within the facility, the facility may provide teaching space for OSU educational programs, and use of clinical equipment – particularly imaging equipment –to OSU research scientists and engineers. Collaboration opportunities for academic faculty and sports medicine clinicians are unlimited.

Estimated Building Size: The building is proposed at approximately 18,000 square feet, on two floors.

Site Boundaries: The preferred site is located north of Oak Creek and east of 30th street. The area is currently developed as a paved parking lot serving Reser Stadium.

Parking Displacement: This project will displace approximately 50 existing parking spaces. This existing paved parking area adjacent to the preferred site provides 824 parking spaces for general OSU use. throughout campus, in excess of the requirements of the Corvallis Land Development Code. It is not



4 of 10

anticipated that development of the proposed medical facility in this location will interfere with game day parking needs.

Development of this facility will require the replacement of this displaced parking. The location proposed for replacement parking is identified on Attachment B.

Infrastructure Extension/Expansion of Existing Facilities is Required: Development of pedestrian facilities would be required at any of the proposed development sites. Development at the recommend site east of 30th and north of Oak Creek will require an analysis of safe and direct pedestrian access from the adjacent athletic facilities. Design of the facility will need to provide pedestrian infrastructure that provides safe and direct pedestrian access from the athletic facilities to be served by the proposed medical facility.

Other: Development on Site #3 would require the relocation of the CEOAS storage area, in addition to standard site improvements. Development on site #2 is not realistic due to the presence of a 36” underground storm sewer line.

ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING CONDITIONS, HISTORIC DISTRICT CONSIDERATIONS, & LOCAL

REGULATIONS

1. Land Development Code

Zoning District: OSU Zone

Use Type: Major Service and Utilities

Use Permitted within the OSU Zone: Yes, major Services and Utilities include hospitals

2. Natural Features Assessment

The recommended site is close to the Protected Riparian Corridor along Oak Creek and the FEMA 500 year Flood Zone.

3. Base Transportation Model (BTM) and Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) Assessment

The 2011-2012 BTM indicates that the intersection of 30th Street and Western Blvd is at a Level of Service F at the P.M. peak and performing at the level D, at the a.m. peak. Mitigation for any increase of demand at this specific intersection will likely be construction of a new signal at the intersection, along with an additional south bound turn lane on 30th Street.

From Technical Letter #3: Operations analysis:

The southbound intersection approach exceeds the City mobility standard due to a substantial increase in background traffic volumes likely due to off-campus new development to the south and the increased amount of traffic using 30th as a north-south route through campus. The following infrastructure improvements are recommended to allow the intersection to operate acceptably: 1. Construct a new signal.

Office of Capital Planning & Development staff spoke with City of Corvallis staff to identify the likely level of improvements required for the intersection of 30th and Western Blvd with development of the Samaritan Health facility. The City indicated that a review of trips generated by the development would be analyzed to determine if adding a turn lane would sufficiently mitigate the failing intersection. The planning horizon is 20



5 of 10

years, therefore there is potential that a signal would be required if adding a turn lane is not sufficient to mitigate the trips generated within the planning horizon. City staff also indicated that neither intersection mitigation measure would be eligible for SDC funds, as 30th Street is a private street and is the cause of the failing intersection.

The report recommends the proposed development provide the required capital improvements of the intersection at 30th and Western Blvd (Condition 1).

4. Parking Utilization Study Review and Parking Displacement

The report recommends the proposed development provide the required capital improvements for development of parking generally identified on Attachment C. (Condition 2).

5. Precinct Planning for Future Phased Development of OSU Translational Research Buildings adjacent to the Sport Medicine Clinical Building

The report recommends that with site approval that the Campus Planning Committee be provided (by the Office of Capital Planning & Development) a formal conceptual program, space, building design, and cost model for a potential phased development of two future translational research buildings on or before May 2014. The CPC will request that the projects be integrated within the OSU 10 Year Capital Plan and presented during development of the FY 15 OSU Capital Budget to the OSU Provost and the VPFA. (Condition 3).

6. Sector Development Review - Campus Master Plan (Chapter 4.0)

The proposed development is within Sector F. The CMP requires that 20% (412,468 sf) of sector F remain as open space. Currently 37% of sector F is open space, therefor 17% (347,500) is available for development. The proposed development is approximately 15,000 GSF and will not reduce open space below the CMP established minimum of 20%.

The applicable Sector Development policies for Sector F address enhancing athletic facilities. The proposed development is consistent with this policy by providing enhanced educational and medical sports and athletic facilities.

7. Campus Master Plan Consistency Review

Consistency Review Approach: This report has identified applicable policies and guidelines for site assignment. Not all policies or guidelines in the CMP apply to site assignment. The following review evaluates the proposal for consistency with the relevant CMP policies and guidelines found in CMP Principles and Policies (Chapter 2.0), Design Guidelines (Chapter 5.0), Transportation Plan (Chapter 6.0), and Parking Plan (Chapter 7.0) and includes findings and conditions of approval as necessary.

y

5.2.b. Site Design: The campus is a collection of improvements such as buildings, streets, sidewalks, open space, parking areas, etc. that has been constructed for diverse purposes over time. New development must fit within the existing environment. The most densely developed area of the campus is the core, identified as Sector C. The campus core is pedestrian-oriented with closely grouped buildings that create a harmonious streetscape. These buildings are organized in a series of symmetrical quadrangles. Landscape and site furnishings serve as unifying elements. Bike and vehicular transportation routes are provided along with pedestrian routes and connections to the remainder of campus. Future development shall continue the pedestrian-oriented tradition and the location of buildings in a harmonious streetscape. To the maximum extent possible, major instructional facilities shall be located such that they can be reached within a 10-minute walk.

y

5.2.b.2 Site Access and Parking Entrances: Each building shall have a primary entrance oriented toward the street or public access way. This primary entrance must be accessed by a direct pedestrian connection (sidewalk, porch, courtyard, etc.) from the street or access way. If parking facilities are constructed with a new building, the parking shall be located such that it does not create a barrier between the street and the primary entryway. This will generally orient parking facilities to the side or behind the building. Where existing development patterns limit or otherwise make this orientation unattainable, efforts should be made to provide, to the maximum extent practicable, direct pedestrian access to the street or access way.

y

5.2.c Open Space: Open space is defined as land area not covered by buildings or used for vehicle maneuvering or parking. Campus open space includes lawn areas, agricultural fields, recreation fields, sidewalks, quads, plazas, courtyards, and other such amenities that provide the OSU community with a space and opportunity to co-mingle.…Open space is an important component in future development on campus. To ensure that open space is retained throughout campus, the CMP establishes minimum open space requirements for each development sector. As future development occurs, existing parking lots may be redeveloped and used as building sites. This allows for new development without displacing existing open space areas.

y

6.1.10 Organize the campus core such that academic uses are within a 10 minute walk to facilitate student travel between classes.

na

6.1.16 Locate material receiving and distribution facilities in areas that do not create circulation conflicts and/or are least disruptive to surrounding uses.

na

7.2.1 Provide parking facilities to meet the needs of the campus community. Where possible, provide adequate parking convenient to the area or site it serves or develop satellite or remote parking facilities with adequate shuttle service.

y y

From: Bray, Tammy Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 6:55 PM To: Ray, Ed Cc: Clark, Steve; De Carolis, Bob; Aukerman, Doug Subject: Sports Medicine Building Hi Ed, Doug Aukerman, the team doctor and I are very excited about the possible new building for the Sports Medicine. Both Doug and I are very enthusiastic in collaboration between our two units – the academic and the athletics side of the campus in education and research programs. Doug, Bob De Carolis and I had a couple of face to face meetings in my office to discuss what we could do together (I am glad that they came to my office – you know that is rare :-)! We have already begun a collaborative project on sport nutrition – having hired a shared Sport Nutritionist who helps the student athletes to eat right, fuel them for playing a good game and fast recovery from an exhausted one. She also helps our students in Nutrition and Dietetics program to gain knowledge in sport nutrition. Doug also worked with our faculty members with specialty in bone health on the diagnosis and healing of bone fracture of young athletes with possible deficiency of vitamin D and other nutrients. In addition to nutrition, we are also collaborating on the education and possible research project in the areas of Athletic Training as well as other Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) programs. It is amazing that our enrollment of EXSS program exceeded 1,200 undergraduate students last fall, and I am worried that it will continue to grow. Practicum experiences in a Sports Medicine Center would be extremely helpful for our students and faculty. With this new adventure and collaborative spirit, Doug and I look forward to having the Sports Medicine Building built on campus. We believe that it will provide an interactive place for enrichment of the practical academic experiences for our students in PHHS. Recently, Doug communicated with me of his concern that there is a holding pattern with the Sports Medicine Building on campus. Having gone through the Hallie Ford Building myself, I am very sympathetic to his concern. I am trying to find out how I can be helpful to moving this building project forward. The long preamble of this email is to inform you that good things are happening between Athletics Department and CPHHS collaboration, and great things will come with more collaborations within this new building. I read the GT not too long ago that you and Larry Mullen seemed to work well on this project and I want to be supportive of such a project. Please involve me and let me know if I can be any help in moving this project forward. Thanks, Tammy ……………………………….
