GENERAL TESTIMONY FOR THE
BUDGET COMMITTEES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
REGARDINGPRIVATE
THE FY2006 CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST
Including a response to
ITEM RB36RB FACILITIES RENEWAL (STATEWIDE); and
ITEM RB36A SHADY GROVE EDUCATIONAL FACILITY III (MONTGOMERY)
By William E. Kirwan, Chancellor
Good afternoon. It is my pleasure to be here to discuss the Capital Improvement Program for the ϡȱ. We appreciate your interest in the facilities needs of our institutions and I want to thank you for your strong support in recent years. We know youre making difficult choices to accommodate these needs and we urge your continued support.
THE ϡȱ CAPITAL BUDGET: AN OVERVIEW
As a System office, we urge full funding of the Governors FY2006 budget recommendations for all System institutions. During these hearings, each president is echoing this request on behalf of their own institutional needs; and I would like to add my own voice in support for those needs. We rely heavily on our campus infrastructure to deliver quality academic programs and house critical research; and we appreciate your consideration on behalf of our institutions.
There are a few projects that the analysts have not recommended for funding this year. We do understand your desire to balance the needs of higher education against a variety of other needs in an environment of constrained resources. I would, however, like to take a moment and express our support for these projects and highlight some of the more critical concerns:
First, we are eager to continue our progress toward responding to the spirit and letter of our agreement with the Office of Civil Rights, in terms of providing adequate facilities at our historically black institutions. We are very concerned that planning funds for Bowie State Universitys new Fine and Performing Arts Building have not been recommended for this years budget. As well as providing enhanced space for the visual and performing arts programs at Bowie, this project is a critical first step in a much-needed revitalization program for the Martin Luther King Center. Every year this new facility is delayed is one more year the entire capital improvement program at Bowie is delayed; and we urge timely funding of this project.
Second, we encourage the appropriation of planning funds for the renovation and conversion of the Tawes Fine Arts facility at the University of ϡȱ, College Park (UMCP). This project will take space configured for programs now housed in buildings like the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and convert it to an efficient home for the Department of English and for a number of related instructional uses. With space at a premium on the College Park campus, timely completion of this project will make a huge difference in the ability of our largest institution to successfully deliver their educational product to ϡȱs students.
Finally, we urge full appropriation of planning funds for the proposed Oyster Production Facility at the University of ϡȱ Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) Horn Point facility. This project, being coordinated in partnership with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is critical to the ultimate restoration of oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay.
SYSTEM-WIDE FACILITIES RENEWAL
Now, turning to our State-wide requests, we concur with the analysts recommendation that the System-wide Facilities Renewal budget be funded in full. These funds are the centerpiece of our overall facilities renewal program, which includes an operating budget request for facilities renewal and a number of capital budget requests for total building renovation or replacement. I cant overstate the importance of these funds to the maintenance of our architectural assets. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
SHADY GROVE EDUCATIONAL FACILITY III
We appreciate the support of the analyst in recommending funding of the new Phase III facility at our successful Shady Grove Center campus. Design of this project began following the Governors Executive Order regarding sustainable buildings, but prior to the designation of pilot projects by the General Assembly. The building has, in fact, been designed as a green or high-performance building and includes components intended to help achieve the intent of the Executive Order at the Silver rating level established by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). If funded as requested, the project includes advanced energy management systems, allowing operators to measure consumption and waste, as well as document operational savings.
The analyst has suggested a reduction to the construction cost to remove these high-performance components. Obviously, we are willing to oblige by the ultimate decision of the budget committees. Even so, we hope you will consider the exceptional opportunity this building presents the State. While it is possible to bid the project with these specialty components as deductive alternates to meet a reduced budget, we would encourage full funding of this unique building. Though not one of the three designated pilot projects, the Shady Grove Center project, if fully funded, offers the State both a peerless educational facility and a high-tech prototype from which to collect needed data on the impact of high-performance buildings.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, let me once again thank you for your continued support. We would be happy to entertain any questions you might have.
