ACTION ITEM:

Approval of the Academic Services Building (ASB) Roof and Windows Project

FACTS:

  • The Academic Services Building (ASB) has a roof that has exceeded its useful life, as well as windows and window seals that are failing.
  • These issues have caused water infiltration in multiple areas of the building.
  • This project will:
  • Replace the roof
  • Replace windows where necessary
  • Completely seal all windows
  • Approximately $500,000 remains in the Roof Repair and Replacement Pool authorized during the 2020 legislative session, and it will be used to fund this project.
  • Construction is planned to begin in early 2025.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:

  • The current budget for this project is $1,500,000.
  • Additional funding will come from the University's 2024–2026 state bond-funded asset preservation funds, which no longer require a matching contribution.

RECOMMENDATION:

President Koffi C. Akakpo recommends that the Board of Regents approve the ASB Roof and Windows Project.

MOTION:

Approve the ASB Roof and Windows Project.
