Ball State University Where are we Now? l l Have held off on a new comprehensive plan for several years – Stable enrollment – quality versus quantity – Fiscal environment suggested little funding for new buildings – Existing plan addressed immediate and mid-term needs Issuing an RFQ for a Comprehensive Master Plan – Looking to the future – Ball State has changed… – Addressing institutional and state priorities – Campus inclusion and documentation will be key elements 15

Ball State University Specific Project Prioritization & Review l Consistent with institutional and state priorities l Facility condition (deferred maintenance) and life safety issues l Could we address need with existing space – reallocation, etc. l Lean towards renovation versus new (consider cost and long-term functionality) l Funding model – current and ongoing costs – l State, Federal, Philanthropic, Grant, Auxiliary Revenue, etc. Long-term stewardship – Set aside 2% to 5% of replacement value annually (Financial Planning Guidelines for Facility Renewal and Adaptation, a joint project of SCUP, NACUBO, APPA, and Coopers & Lybrand) 16
