APPENDIX C <br />The newly created commuter lounge has helped. Monica feels <br />that our campus is not very welcoming to commuters due to <br />not having enough lounge space, not enough lockers and over <br />crowding in Nazareth Cafe. <br />There is not a good location for students to socialize during <br />the day. Students have been using the Nazareth Cafe and the <br />211d floor of Nazareth Hall. <br />An ideal dining area would consist of being brightly lighted, <br />noise reduction, bigger dish return area and better entry to <br />the cafeteria to eliminate theft problems. <br />Discussion: Larry mentioned that the lounge space and office <br />space issues are consistent with what he found. <br />5. Dormitories Handout: <br />Phil Lacher, AVP of Physical Plant/Aux. Services gave his <br />report on the following items. <br />We are beyond the capacity in housing. The College places <br />4 freshman to a room to adhere to the College's policy of <br />housing students 20 year of age and younger. <br />The actual percent to student housing to FTE is 991 + 41 = <br />1,032 student housed which is 69% <br />The College will need to invest $13,000 to make the Snelling <br />Terrace pool available to the students. <br />There are no other buildings that are within walking distance <br />to the College. The college was blessed to have the <br />opportunity to buy South, Southeast and Snelling Terrace. <br />There are a couple of medical buildings by Snelling Terrace <br />but the owners of one of the building do not want to sell <br />to NWC at this time. <br />The College's Rcseville Campus PUD (plan unit development) <br />expires August 1, 2001. Phil is currently working with the <br />city on our options. <br />Parking is a big issue. The total number of parking <br />spaces is 1,840. The back area of Riley could be expanded <br />to add 85 more parking spaces but it won't solve the <br />current problem. <br />Discussion: <br />Discussed limiting freshman cars on campus and that the <br />Cabinet and Board would make the final decision. Larry <br />mentioned that limiting parking at colleges is -very common. <br />The committee was interested in finding more- information on <br />parking fees and parking lot maintenance. <br />Note: The committee would like to make a recommendation <br />about limiting parking in their report. <br />Note: Public/private funding should be explored. <br />6.
