Hi Valerie, Ted:


Thank you for taking the time to call in last week. It was good to catch
up with you and for you to share some of your thoughts with us about this
important project. I thought it would be good to share a couple of draft
planning documents with you to begin to frame the discussion around the
future building and the process that we will go through. When one starts
the process of planning for a new building it almost always starts with an
idea/vision and then eventually become a physical presence.


You will recall that we talked about the process of a charrette, which is a
great way to develop a vision for a project/building. I have attached a
two page document that explains the origins of the Charrette process and
how it can be used to coalesce ideas into a vision. When the time is right
I think this will be an exciting way to kick this project off! Please take
a look at it and let me know if you have any questions.


I have also included a draft program document that was developed back in
2012 to try to better understand the kind of spaces that might be included
in a building of the type you want. Please don’t become attached to the
image of the building or the types and sizes of the spaces depicted in the
program. I am simply trying to share with you some examples of what some
of the program documents might look like.


Ted, you asked what size building would be provided for the project. If
you were to include the spaces that are depicted in this program the
building could easily be in the range of 50,000 gross square. Of course
that assumes that the building would have the spaces as indicated in the
program. This program also does not include the space that would be added
for the possible academic uses (School of Public Policy) that would also be
collocated in the facility.


Also in the attachments are the floor plans (unaltered) for 44 Kent Way,
which of course will become the space available for the Vice President and
staff after January 22. If at all possible, we would like to have a
definitive count on the number of personnel that will need to be housed in
that building. The sooner we have an understanding of the body count the
sooner we will be able to begin planning for the alterations that may need
to be made to the building in advance of the January date.


Jeff’s office is in the process of setting up weekly conference calls so we
can begin doing the work that we will need to do. Please don’t hesitate to
call should you have any questions or concerns.


Best,


Alan
