The document discusses several ongoing facility repairs and changes to the honors college at the University of Toledo. Repairs are continuing on the East and West parking ramps after emergency issues were discovered in September. Several university buildings also suffered water damage in January when pipes burst, with repairs expected to be completed by the end of March. The honors college is working to increase student recruitment and awareness of alternative options to the traditional thesis, such as research projects related to students' fields of study. Only 40% of students who start in the honors college currently graduate with honors.

Presentatie 'Azië heeft de toekomst! Is er nog hoop voor het Westen?' door Geert de Nekker, van Syntrus Achmea Vastgoed, tijdens Themadag Vastgoed 25 oktober 2011.
Samenvatting: De verschuiving van het economisch zwaartepunt richting Azië lijkt onstuitbaar. Het is een kwestie van tijd: China wordt de grootste economie. Ook voor vastgoedbeleggers wordt Azië steeds interessanter. Betekent dit dat in 2030 uitsluitend in Azië wordt belegd, of zijn er nog steeds kansen in het Westen? Zijn er in het buitenland ook Wikistedia ontwikkelingen? Dit is een schets van een toekomstscenario en stellingen daarover.

Explain the subject of the report:
Every day, a heavy traffic starts when the students travel from the north side of the campus to the south side of the campus by crossing University Boulevard. The traffic mostly happens between the ten-minute break when students move to other classes. At that specific time, heavy traffic begins, and cars can’t move due to the enormous number of pedestrians crossing the road, which causes traffic delays. The traffic affects everyone who is on the road, either students or cars, because they will be late for destinations they are trying to reach.
What makes the traffic worse is that some students cross the road without checking cars while they are riding their skateboards or bicycles. It is dangerous to cross the road without paying attention because pedestrians might get hit by a car. Even though cars must stop when pedestrians walk across the road on the zebra crossing lines, students should yield before they pass the road. This scenario tends to happen often on campus especially during the ten-minute break; students who ride skateboards and bicycles do not care about the drivers and can cause an accident and can end up with a permanent injury.
Explain the purpose of the report:
The purpose of the report is to gather all the information and data that was found in this project.
Provide background:
Every day, a traffic starts on University Boulevard, and it causes traffic delays. It starts on the ten-minute break when students transfer to other classes by crossing the road. What makes this traffic worse is that some pedestrians cross the road without looking for approaching cars. Several people that took the survey said that they saw people got hit by a car because they were not paying attention, so this problem must be taken seriously. The team thought of some solutions to end this problem. However, the group had a lack of knowledge of the school's budget, which is a big problem. Without knowing the school’s budget for this project, it is hard to think of a solution because it might be too expensive for Florida Tech to afford it. For that reason, a research must be done on the school's budget, and what ideas they would support most.
Describe sources of information:
There were several types of sources of information for the research, and they were: personal experiences, expert opinions, and web pages. In the very beginning of the research, Mashal made an appointment with Susan Meeler, the academic advisor of the Civil Engineering department, to discuss with her about the problem and if she has any solutions for the issue. Meleer provided Mashal with a good amount of information and sources that he refers to with the research, and she gave him some suggestions and recommendations for the solutions. Meleer was a good source of information as she had a good exper.

Sustainability is about more than recycling at top colleges
By Monika Joshi
One Indiana school is not only drilling its students on academics, but it's also drilling holes in its campus to tap geothermal
energy. A Vermont college is into burning wood chips as a way to save money.
What they share is a passion for environmental sustainability — operating in a way that uses renewable fuels and tries to
save money in the process. Interest in sustainability is particularly strong on college campuses.
Princeton Review, in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, is out this week with its 2012 Guide to 322 Green
Colleges and finds in a separate survey that 68% of more than 7,000 college applicants told them that a college's commitment to the
environment would play a role in their decision to apply to or attend that ...

[DOC] savannah state university road sustainment timebrianhayward
Almost all of us at Savannah State have grumbled about our University's seemingly endless slate of beautification projects and "campus improvements." Many of us, myself included, have sometimes wondered: What is the logic behind maintaining a beautiful campus? Can we justify spending $78 million on repaving the roads at a time when the financial burden of college has become prohibitive for many?

Honors college changes
raise excitement, concern
STUDENT RECRUITMENT
By Amanda Pitrof
Associate News Editor
Making students more aware of their op-
tions and expanding recruitment are among
the changes being made in the Jesup Scott
Honors College.
“What concerns me is that we’re attracting
these bigger numbers of well-prepared, aca-
demic, band-one students, and yet a very large
percentage … are choosing not to be a part
of the honors program even though they are
eligible to be a part,” Provost Scott Scarborough
said at the Feb. 11 Faculty Senate meeting.
What is worse, according to Scarborough,
is that half of those who do choose to take
part in the honors program drop out before
they get to the end.
“So what it says to me … there’s something
wrong about the program,” Scarborough said.
“How do you alter the honors college experi-
ence so that 100 percent of these students who
are capable and willing and able to benefit
from experience like this would choose to be
a part of this experience?”
Only 40 percent of students who start out
as honors students end up graduating with
honors, according to Lakeesha Ransom, dean
of the honors college. Based on conversa-
tions she has had with students, she feels this
is partly because many students don’t realize
they have options other than writing a thesis.
“When they got to the thesis, they didn’t
necessarily see how it related to what they
wanted to do long-term, and it seemed like it
was incongruent with their longer-term vision
for what they’d like to do,” Ransom said in a
recent interview.
While there has always been the option
to write a thesis or to conduct a project, she
thinks that “what most students have inter-
preted is ‘You have to write a thesis.’”
Toremedythis,Ransomsaid,thehonorscollege
istryingtomakestudentsmoreawareofthetypes
ofprojectstheycandoinsteadofwritingathesis.
The projects are tailored to the students’
individual needs while maintaining the stan-
dards of the honors college. Some examples
Ransom gave of what students may do for
their projects are:
• Engaging in core research, which usually
leads to students publishing an article about
their findings.
• Studying in another country and writing a
report about research they conducted there.
• Starting an entrepreneurial venture.
• Putting together a gallery exhibition of
their work.

The University of Toledo has filed
two claims so far after 24 buildings
on the University of Toledo’s Main
Campus and Health Science Cam-
pus suffered water damage when
pipes burst in January.
Repairs are expected to be
completed by the end of March.
Chris Levicki, manager of
structural maintenance, said the
total costs and coverage for all
damages have not been deter-
mined at this time, but that UT’s
Office of Risk Management said
UT is responsible for the first
$100,000 worth of cost per claim
because of their deductible.
The deductible refers to the
amount the policy holder has to
pay before the insurance com-
pany begins covering costs.
Levicki went on to say that
many of the buildings sustained
damage to the interior finishes
(walls, flooring and ceilings) as
well as office equipment.
“There are a number of office
type equipment such as comput-
ers and printers that were dam-
aged,” Levicki said.
The labs in Sullivan Hall are
still closed for repairs.
Though many of the damages are
already repaired, Levicki said the
“worse cases” are still in progress.
“The damage in Scott Hall,
Tucker Hall, Bowman-Oddy, Sul-
livan Hall and Wolfe Hall was sub-
stantial,” Levicki said. “Only classes
in Bowman-Oddy and Sullivan
Hall were affected though. Some
of the labs had to be held at other
locations within the building.”
According to Associate Vice
President of Facilities and Con-
struction Jason Toth, the extreme
cold temperatures and wind chill
caused a number of situations
resulting in frozen pipes and equip-
ment on campus such as fire sup-
pression lines and plumbing lines.

The East parking garage, located by McMaster Hall, has been
under construction since emergency repair work began in
September. Acording to Dan Klett, university architect, the
university committed $900,000 to associated repair costs.

After discovering the need
for emergency repairs in
both the East and West Ramp
parking garages in September,
the University of Toledo has
completed portions of repairs,
but is still working to finalize
construction.
According to Dan Klett,
university architect, UT has
worked on portions of both
the East and West Ramp parking
garages beginning on Sept. 20,
2013, when contractors conduct-
ing inspections as part of sched-
uled maintenance discovered the
need for emergency repairs.
Temporary emergency mea-
sures were implemented im-
mediately and resulted in partial
closures for the remainder of the
fall 2013 semester.
Phil Whaley, a structural engi-
neer at Poggemeyer Design Group
and a regional expert in the repair
of concrete structures, coordinated
the repair work on the East Ramp,
according to UT News.
The West Parking Ramp and
the lower three levels of the
East Parking Ramp opened Jan.
6 while the top level remained
closed for needed repairs.
