Level 2 (Business Math Science and Technology, AVP Office)
This is a combination of several BMST initiatives. There needs to be a regualr replacement plan for furniture (and some lighting). This represents: drafting table replacement, faculty office furniture, HA 200 classroom furniture and upshine lighting for BT 355. It would be helpful if the capital lines (eitehr in departments of in Facilities) for academic furniture could be increased so annual upgrades can take place.Level 4 (PBIE Committee)
As part of its recommendation last year, the PBIE Committee recommended the establishment of replacement plans for both furniture (office and classroom) and equipment (teaching and non-teaching) on campus. Furniture in many areas of the BMST division is old and worn out and in some cases a safety issue. There is furniture that does not suit the current academic needs and is preventing faculty from providing adequate instruction and/or service to the college community. This initiative does not currently identify furniture that needs to be replaced, but calls for the division to create a prioritized list of furniture replacement needs and develop a plan for doing so. Addressing these furniture needs will provide the opportunity to achieve the strategic priorities of the college and to meet the needs of students, faculty and staff to the greatest possible extent.
