STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The Boulder Campus is requesting board approval of a plan to repair and restore critical exterior and structural elements of the circa 1876 Old Main building, located on the historic Norlin Quadrangle on the Main Campus. The building is the university’s original structure and has been in continual use since its construction in 1875-76. In the summer of 2021, the board was presented with preliminary information developed by the engineering firm of Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger (SGH) regarding the deterioration of Old Main’s facade. Some temporary stabilization measures have been taken in response to the engineering recommendations, but a larger project consistent with information presented in 2021 is still necessary to address the continued safe use of the structure for the foreseeable future. The team of CSHQA architects, Silman Structural Engineers, Atkinson-Noland and Associates, WENK Associates, and GH Phipps Construction were hired by the campus to continue the assessment of conditions and make recommendations for continued use of the building. The comprehensive scope of this portion of the project will reinforce the structure, and identify, retain and preserve features that are important in defining the overall historic character. The project proposed here will improve energy efficiency of the exterior building envelope, avoid embodied carbon emissions that would be created if the building were to be replaced, and allow for the use of the building for another 100-150 years. Additional work will be completed to address drainage and site issues, restore and repair windows and doors. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $14.3 million. Funding for the project will be campus cash, primarily capital reserves set aside for campus facilities maintenance. Design began in May 2022. Construction is scheduled for January 2024, and expected to be complete in March 2025.

The Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger report revealed that half of the lintels and sills within the foundational sandstone were cracked, held together only marginally with failing, deteriorated mortar. Missing mortar, step-cracks and inclusions were evident in the sandstone exterior resulting from the inevitable water runoff, and freeze-thaw cycling. This has resulted in brick, stone and mortar joint deterioration over 147 years. The exterior brick masonry walls have extensive vertical cracking, however, and while the walls are not overstressed or unstable, they are in need of maintenance that has been deferred. The project will address deficiencies in brick masonry, sandstone lintels, sills, and accents, first floor joists, and restore sandstone caps and buttresses. SGH also recommended that the scope of the work include reconstruction of the north stair, and work to repair balustrades on north, east, south, and west stairs. Some replacement and restoration will also occur to windows and doors, roof framing, gutters, and chimneys. Stair treads and balustrades are being replaced due to years of deterioration from de-icing. Site work will address grading at the building to improve site drainage, new plantings, and replacement of the sandstone medallion at the north entrance in Pleasant Street.

Designed in the Victorian Gothic style and constructed in 1876 as the first facility on campus, Old Main originally housed the library, classrooms, and the president’s family home. While the 1917 Klauder plan recommended eventual demolition of the building, campus administration supported renovations in 1924, 1958 and 1984. The building now houses the CU Heritage Center, one classroom, and administrative offices of the College of Arts and Sciences, of which 15,810 students were enrolled in fall 2022. A total of 80 faculty and staff were housed in the building in fall 2022, as well as 61 student workers for a total of 141 campus employees. The building is a crucial element of the Norlin Quadrangle Historic District.

On October 11, 2023, this item was reviewed and discussed at the CU Regents Finance Committee meeting. The four findings required by the CU Board of Regents are as follows:

A. Conformity with Institutional Master Plan

The project is critical to the university meeting its mission for the state of Colorado established by section 23-20-101, Colorado Revised Statutes:

The Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado shall be a comprehensive graduate research university with selective admissions standards. The Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado shall offer a comprehensive array of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree programs.

The proposed project to address issues in this facility is referenced in the 2021 Campus Master Plan, goal three to: identify campus areas for opportunity and improvement with a focus toward addressing deferred maintenance and building renewal.

The 2021 Campus Master Plan states:

This area contains some of the university's most historic and iconic structures that contribute to CU Boulder's sense of identify ... As the university continues to support the growth of new facilities that will support the CU Boulder mission, care should be taken to rehabilitate and renovate those structures that lend to the campus' character but whose condition might not support appropriate and/or full use of the facility.

The plan supports all three of the campus strategic imperatives: Shape tomorrow's leaders; be the top university for innovation; and positively impact humanity.

B. Evidence of Educational Program Benefits

This project is necessary for the continued health and life-safety of the campus community. The project supports the reinvestment in campus infrastructure to protect the campus’ historic heritage. The repair and restoration work will extend the usable life of one of the campus’ most beloved and cherished academic facilities.

C. Appropriateness of Financing

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $14,300,000.  Funding will be derived from from capital reserves set aside for facilities deferred maintenance.

D. Consistency with Campus Capital Improvement Program

This improvement project is included in the capital list planned for implementation in the 10-year timeframe depicted in the board approved 2021 Campus Master Plan. The project will be included in the UCB FY23-24 List of Cash Funded (LCF) Projects.

PREVIOUS ACTION(S):  

On June 17, 2021, the CU Board of Regents approved the Preliminary Program Plan for Old Main-Macky-Hale Structural Repairs and the financial plan therein.

RECOMMENDATION FROM:  

Chancellor DiStefano, with the concurrence of Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Moore, Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer O’Rourke and Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Sustainability Ewing. 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The Boulder Campus is requesting board approval of a plan to upgrade components of the West District Energy Plant to comply with new state emissions limits under the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) policy. This policy update was the outcome of the state’s strategy to reduce emissions for compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The new limits are currently in effect and have been enacted through the Colorado Air Pollution Control Regulation 7. This policy change drives the need to replace and upgrade some of the existing equipment in WDEP, specifically combustion turbines CTG-1 and 2. It also requires installation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction equipment for Boiler 4 and retirement of Boiler 3. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $43.1 million. The project will meet new air permit requirements, provide adequate steam production to meet the campus heating demand, preserve the capacity to generate power for campus resilience and provide a bridge to achieving the campus 2050 carbon neutral goal.  Funding for the project will be derived from campus cash, primarily from the Division of Utilities and Energy Services auxiliary cash. The project cost may be supplemented by new federal tax credits made available as cash repayments to public entities through the Inflation Reduction Act. Design is underway. The start of construction is scheduled for January 2024, with an anticipated completion date of June 2025.

On October 11, 2023, this item was reviewed and discussed at the CU Regents Finance Committee meeting. The four findings required by the CU Board of Regents are as follows:

The work aligns with the Campus Master Plan, Housing Master Plan, and Energy Master Plan. As noted, this is the university's approach to realizing a financially sustainable energy program that focuses on energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, and provides a reliable energy supply that enables and enhances the campus' mission. Additionally, the project renews equipment that will serve as a bridge to implementing a broader strategy to install clean, thermal hydronic systems that will provide greater opportunity to integrate renewable energy sources into the university’s energy portfolio.

The plan supports all three of the campus strategic imperatives: Shape tomorrow’s leaders; be the top university for innovation; and positively impact humanity."

The project is consistent with 2021 Campus Master Plan goal #3 to "Identify campus areas of opportunity and improvement with a focus toward addressing deferred maintenance and building renewal.

B. Evidence of Educational Program Benefits

The project is necessary for the continued health and life-safety of the campus community. The project supports reinvestment in campus infrastructure. The upgrade will extend the usable life of one of the campus’ most heavily utilized auxiliary facilities. It will also retire about $15.0 million of deferred maintenance.

C. Appropriateness of Financing 

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $43,135,342. Funding for the project will be derived from campus cash, primarily from the Division of Utilities and Energy Services auxiliary funds.

D. Consistency with Campus Capital Improvement Program

RECOMMENDATION FROM:  

Chancellor DiStefano, with the concurrence of Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Moore, Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer O’Rourke and Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Sustainability Ewing. 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The Boulder Campus is requesting approval of a program plan that will allow the campus to construct a student residence building with a range of beds from 330 to 350, on a site in North Boulder Creek. The planned structure is proposed to be up to 129,000 gross square feet (GSF) in size and provide housing and student support services. The project initiates the process of replacing aged student housing in this area north of the Main Campus, consistent with the recently approved 2021 Campus Master Plan and the earlier North Boulder Creek Micro-Master Plan. The new construction site is bound by 19^th and 20^th streets to the east and west and Athens Street to the south. Pre-construction includes the relocation of community gardens, and demolition of campus facilities including a 101-space parking lot and three dwellings. The building is being designed to include apartments, including one-room studios, and two, four, and five-bedroom units. The ground floor will provide areas for study and meeting space consistent with student preferences and include amenities such as a market/café and UPS store. The total project cost for the residence hall is estimated to be $124.4 million. Bond financing to support the project will be repaid with auxiliary funds wholly from the Division of Student Affairs. Design is near completion as part of the continuous planning process. FY 2023-24 legislative cash spending authority will be requested so that construction may commence in March 2024. Occupancy is planned for August 2026.

The project responds to student preferences for a quality, modern living environment to support their academic growth, and supports the university’s objective to increase recruitment and retention rates. Undergraduates expressed a desire in recent interviews and focus groups for more independence and diversity of room types from which to choose. Features such as the availability of a private bedroom and the opportunity to cook their own meals were the top two responses that motivate undergraduate students to live on campus. Residence One design includes a variety of apartment style units to meet these desires. The facility will initially be used to house students displaced by planned sequential renovation of three older residence halls on the Main Campus: Farrand Hall (circa 1948) Cheyenne Arapaho (circa 1954), and Libby Hall (circa 1955). After these renovations are complete, Residence One will be utilized primarily for non-freshmen undergraduates, a need described in the North Boulder Creek Micro-Master Plan and will add needed beds to the overall campus inventory.

On October 11, 2023, the project was reviewed and discussed at the CU Board of Regents Finance Committee: 

A. Conformity with Institutional Master Plan

Development of the North Boulder Creek site for student housing is consistent with goals outlined in the 2021 Campus Master Plan to provide additional housing to maintain or increase the percentage of students housed on campus. The master plan projects a need for 14,400 to 16,000 student beds on campus, compared to the 10,000 beds provided today. About 74% of current on-campus housing caters heavily to first-year students, with limited options for upper division and graduate students. The regional population growth and limited housing supply has driven rental rates upward, making housing affordability a challenge for students.

Expectations for the development of North Boulder Creek were provided on pages 27 of Section 3.0 Campus System, which stated “Of the new proposed development, the majority (roughly 75 percent) is designated either as housing or research facilities…” and “At NBC, growth is focused on supporting the demand for both undergraduate and graduate housing,…” Page 30 provides detail on the expectation that North Boulder Creek will expand from the existing 419,506 to 1,163,269 GSF, (including demolition of 411,729 GSF). Additional details on site development, density, program distribution, access and connectivity are provided on page 38-45 of the master plan.

The project will pursue a LEED v4.1 Gold certification at a minimum; the building will meet the state’s high-performance certification program (HPCP) optimizing energy performance, reducing water use, and optimizing indoor air quality, and provide high building performance integrated systems to reduce energy use and costs.

The project addresses each of the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) Master Plan, “Colorado Rises” goals to increase credential completion, erase equity gaps, improve student success, and invest in affordability and innovation. The project will aid in student retention and credential completion by providing available, quality, affordable housing to support student success. Residence One will contribute to erasing equity gaps by providing diverse housing options at varying price points to increase the equity of housing, and by addressing the lack of campus housing for disabled students.

The project supports the three campus strategic imperatives: To Shape Tomorrow’s Leaders, Be the Top University for Innovation, and Positively Impact Humanity. 

B. Evidence of Educational Program Benefits

The project is consistent with the goals of past and present strategic academic planning on the Boulder Campus. The project is being implemented as part of the implementation phase of Foundations of Excellence and is in alignment with recommendations from Academic Futures -- specifically, to Create a Common Student-Centered Approach to Learning. The project is consistent with plans outlined in the approved Residential Campus 2020 Plan (2006) and the Residential Academic Program (RAP) Task Force (2017).

C. Appropriateness of Financing

The total project cost is estimated to be $124,400,000.  Bond financing to support the project would be repaid with auxiliary funds wholly from the Division of Student Affairs. Anticipated cash flow modeling is consistent with the Housing Facilities Services long-range capital and financial plans for student housing facilities.

D. Consistency with the Two -Year List of Cash Needs

The project for North Boulder Creek Residence One will be included in a FY 2023-24 Two-Year Cash List. 

PREVIOUS ACTION(S):  

On April 9, 2021, the CU Board of Regents approved the Preliminary Program Plan for North Boulder Creek Residence Hall One, including the financial analysis incorporated therein.

On February 10, 2022, the CU Board of Regents approved the 2021 Campus Master Plan.

On September 12, 2011, the CU Board of Regents approved the University of Colorado Boulder 2011 Campus Master Plan, which included the North Boulder Creek Micro-Master Plan.

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The Boulder Campus is requesting board approval of a plan to replace the outdated and no-longer serviceable, video board technology on the south side of Folsom Stadium on the Main Campus. The scope of the project is to replace the video board, ribbon screen, and technological infrastructure necessary to operate the board and ribbon, as well as upgrade the structural components necessary to support the weight of the boards in the stadium. The replacement video board will be approximately 117’ by 40’ in size and the ribbon board will extend approximately 430 feet in length between seat sections 203 and 220. The video and ribbon boards serve the campus during football games, the Bolder Boulder, Commencement, and other large campus events. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $16.3 million. Funding to support the project will be paid from $3.0 million in donations, $2.0 million in media rights, $4.0 million from FY 2023-24 Intercollegiate Athletics revenues, $7.5 million from campus Auxiliary Repair, Replacement, and Contingency Reserve. No state funding or student tuition revenues are used, all auxiliary funds, and no debt will be used for this project. Design is underway. Construction is scheduled for December 2023. The campus target is to have video and ribbon boards operational for the first home football game in 2024.

CU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics strives to create a positive game day experience for spectators which includes watching the competition and also offering a standard level of service and amenities for spectators so they will be repeat customers. Upgrading the south video board technology to the latest advancements, while also increasing the size to stay competitive in the collegiate market will improve the fan experience at Folsom Field. This will in turn increase revenue, while honoring the campus’ rich design history by integrating architecturally with the rest of campus and the stadium. Additionally, revenue will be generated by the sale of advertisements that will be broadcast on the video board to game day attendees.

On October 11, 2023, this item was reviewed and discussed at the CU Regents Finance Committee meeting. The four findings required by the CU Board of Regents are as follows:

A. Conformity with Mission, Strategic Planning, and 2021 Campus Master Plan

The project is critical to the university meeting its mission for the state of Colorado established by section 23-20-101, Colorado Revised Statutes:

The Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado shall be a comprehensive graduate research university with selective admissions standards. The Boulder Campus of the University of Colorado shall offer a comprehensive array of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree programs.

The plan supports all three of the campus strategic imperatives: Shape tomorrow’s leaders; be the top university for innovation; and positively impact humanity.

The project is consistent with 2021 Campus Master Plan goal #3 to "Identify campus areas of opportunity and improvement with a focus toward addressing deferred maintenance and building renewal."

B. Evidence of Educational Program Benefits

Part of CU Athletics’ mission is to develop the WHOLE (Wellness, Health, Optimal Life Experience) student-athlete and challenge them to succeed within CU Athletics’ culture of excellence.  Providing state-of-the-art facilities that enhance the student-athlete’s experience and pride of the department is a key component of creating a successful and competitive student-athlete. 

The project is necessary for the continued health and life-safety of the campus community. The project supports the reinvestment in campus infrastructure. The upgrade will enhance the gameday experience in one of the campus’ most heavily utilized auxiliary facilities.

C. Appropriateness of Financing

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $16,330,000 for the project. Funding to support the project will be paid from $3.0 million in donations, $2.0 million in media rights, $4.0 million from FY 2023-24 Intercollegiate Athletics revenues, $7.5 million from campus Auxiliary Repair, Replacement, and Contingency Reserve. No state funding or student tuition revenues are used, all auxiliary funds, and no debt will be used for this project.
