Capital Planning and Budget

Action 09

Aggressively seek state funds for the improvement of Centennial East and Centennial West.

Baseline Information

• The Illinois State University Resource Allocation and Management Program Capital Requirements Plan Fiscal Year 2003 outlines the background and justification for the improvement of Centennial East and Centennial West.

  This project will begin the process of selective demolition of the Fine Arts Complex on campus, (Centennial East, Centennial West, and the Center for the Visual Arts) and replace it with better designed and functional spaces. This project will also replace inadequate outdated equipment, improve environmental controls, and improve the capability to provide appropriate, controlled temperature to the instructional and office spaces in the complex. In addition to replacing the heating and cooling equipment and distribution systems, the project involves upgrading the data/telecommunications network throughout the building complex.

  The new spaces will replace or improve 20,000 net assignable square feet (NASF) in Centennial West, 40,000 NASF in Centennial East, and 85,000 NASF in the Center for the Visual Arts. Operational efficiencies will also be realized with these improvements.

  Some remodeling will occur to accommodate programmatic changes prompted by the Center for Performing Arts. These changes will enable the facility to accommodate the growing and improved programs housed in the facility.
