Issues concerning Student Affairs in EBU3b

Student Affairs Area concerns

• separate offices with locking doors and windows to the outside -- need for confidential advising
• one larger work area for 4 student workers
• waiting and reception area to comfortably hold 25 students waiting for advising with student resources/information available to students while they wait, with stations connected to campus network for students to access; reception area with compute station for initial triage
• conference room to comfortably hold 10-15 people
• add/drop (final exam return?) window that can allow 30+ students to queue up without blocking regular building traffic flow -- possibly to the outside of the building so the queue is outside around the building
• file room centrally located in Student Affairs area accessible to all SA staff without interrupting other SA staff -- Grad Admissions records, Ugrad records must be kept for 6 yrs, MS records 7 yrs., PhD records 12 years
• copy, fax, shreader, storage room
• all space in one contiguous general area on ground/low floor
• close to an end of a wing to help control the large volume of traffic flow
• handle continued historical growth of 13% in Undergrad and 11% growth in Grad programs
