ITEM 128-2004-R0905

 

Board of Regents Policy: Physical Plant B Section 1003.7

 

This Authority request is for an amount greater than $150,000, which requires the following additional information:

 

(a) Project Description:

This project will provide approximately 9,000 sq ft of specific bio-safety level laboratory and animal containment space to accommodate research on a variety of zoonotic diseases. Construction will include the general building enclosure and associated mechanical system and bio-hazard containment elements.

 

(b) Cost Estimate and Funding Sources:

C          Estimated Cost

C          Design/Construction Admin

$300,000

C          Construction

$1,950,000

C          Contingency

$250,000

C          Total Estimate

$2,500,000

 

C          Funding Source: This project will be financed with non-state, Facilities and Administrative (F&A) funds recovered from externally funded grants and contracts and non-state funds from VMB endowments.

 

(c) Program served, enrollment data, projected enrollment:

This project will serve existing research programs in the VMB Department.

(Enrollment data is not applicable to this authority request).

 

(d) Space Utilization Data:

The new facility is expected to include approximately 9,000 gross sq ft, comprised of ~30-40% non-assignable space (corridors, mechanical spaces, restrooms, etc.) and ~60% laboratory and lab support spaces.

(e) Projected use for available residual space:

(Not applicable to this project)

 

(f) Projected O&M Costs and proposed funding sources:

Annual O&M Costs will likely range from $90k to $125k per year, depending upon actual building configuration, utility consumption, major maintenance reserve, systems complexity and hours of use.

 

MSU will fund this increased O&M responsibility with non-state, Facilities and Administrative (F&A) funds recovered from externally funded grants and contracts. However, this facility will be an integral element of the University�s Research Programs and, as such, the University may eventually seek Legislative support for all or part of these O&M costs.
