THE INTENT OF THE STUDY WOULD BE TO 1) DEFINE THE DIRECTIONS AND FUTURE SPACE NEEDS OF THE ANTICIPATED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, 2) DETERMINE OPTIONS TO EXPANSION, RENOVATION AND/OR RELOCATION, 3) DETERMINE THE COSTS OF REMODELING, RENOVATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION AS DETERMINED BY THE SPACE ANALYSIS, AND 3) TO PROVIDE SUITABLE PRESENTATION MATERIALS FOR USE IN FUND-RAISING AND PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS. PER THE REQUEST OF THE CCRC COMMITTEE, THE STUDY WILL EVALUATE OPTIONAL SITES INCLUDING A NEW "GREENFIELD" BUILDING SITE AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL OF EXPANSION AND OR NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THE EXISTING SITE.
