| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Sugar, the Mastodon is in need of restoration per a professional conservator's report completed several years ago. As a centerpiece of our Biological Science Program, as well as a piece of Orange County history , Sugar should be restored as part of the Master Plan Capital Improvement Program which includes a new science building. Our optimal plan would be to relocate "Sugar" to a prominent position in the new Science and Engineering Building so that she can serve as a keystone to the Biological Science floors. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | No immediate consequences re stability of the specimen, but its value as a hallmark of prehistoric times is tarnished and does not serve as a most effective symbol of our College and program. Thought should be given to this restoration in conjunction with the new science building being planned for the Middletown Campus. |
