| Initiative Title | Create Appropriate Honors Facility |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2013 |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The current space in the basement of Morrison is insufficient to the needs of the program andf students. Currently, the Honors lounge is overcrowded when 20 students are in it and the noice level is stupendous. Three computers in a closet are not sufficient for student study needs. We are out of classroom space. There are insufficent outlets and lighting in the lounge, computer room, and even the classroom. Additionally, the space is damp and continually has issues of flooding, mold and air quality and temperature. Discussion has centered around refurbishing the Carriage House when the new Science Building is complted. Needs: larger lounge larger computer lab library additional seminar rooms space for support staff space for faculty advisors Costs are impossible to calculate at this point until we know if this will be new or refurbished space, how much, etc. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The reputation of the program will be diminished as we are not able to meet the students' needs for study space. Also, we have not classroom space in which to provide the increased number of offerings to meet the needs for the program. Additionally, we lose recruits every year who are put off by the quality, size, lack of materials and basic placement of the faculity. A dank basement is NOT impressive to students or parents. |

The space is inadequate to the needs of the students and it is shabby, to say the least. It does not inspire strong students to want to attend SUNY Orange. Office space: coordinator and clerical assistant share the same space. |
|
The Program has inadequate facilities currently. This needs to be addressed for the students, integrity, growth and reputation of the program. |
