a) A rendering may give us a good starting point when architects are hired, something to go over to improve, and available in the future for “selling” a MS building.

Old plans from previous decades are on THAM

b) Next meeting 2:15-5pm on Tuesday, March 6

c) Currently 70,000 square feet (will probably increase)

d) Stacking exercise (not clear whether 3 or 4 stories yet)

e) Site analysis (probably up to 5 sites), consistent with UNLV’s current Master Plans: ASC, north side of CDC, two behind the Lied Library, one behind In-N-Out (Bus depot problem?)

f) The pictures correspond to one of the sites being studied, are only preliminary, and still need to get initial pictures corresponding to the other sites.

g) I have emphasized stamping, the need to be located near the students (a huge selling point for a MS Building), avoiding predators, the problem with BEH first floor rooms, etc.

h) Will likely learn some of the complications with the updated codes (e.g. auditoriums).

i) Architecture’s interests likely include something creative, influential, etc., that they can publish (possibly the plans will celebrate/bleed/puke mathematics and statistics).

j) From David Baird: … This is an exciting project for the Math Science Department, School of Architecture and the University. Richard Gnat has agreed to take this project on as a service assignment with the help of two other faculty members Miriam Neet - licensed architect and Kevin Kemner - educational expert. Richard is an accomplished licensed professional who has worked for SOM and other prominent Architectural firms during his career. I have attached his resume and samples of his work for your review. ……

Recall from last Department meeting that on March 15, the Architecture Department is to release a marketing picture to Regent Schofield to present to possible donors. This picture is premature, the final picture is likely to be quite different, as the stacking exercise, the reception area, etc. are still in the initial stages.
