The Wellesley 2025 stakeholders and planners proactive plan for campus renewal provides a working model for the presentation in which we identify goals and objectives and share initiatives, solutions, analysis ,and economic factors that affect construction Market forecasting, and project cost multipliers for master planning projects.
In response to traffic congestion on St Clair Avenue West around Keele Street and Old Weston Road, City Council has directed staff to carry out an Environmental Assessment (EA) Study of the St. Clair Avenue / Rail Crossing between Keele Street and Old Weston Road. This project will investigate solutions to the traffic concerns in this area

New strategies for attacking deferred maintenance december 2012Sightlines
Learn how national data trends show campus buildings are aging and campus backlogs are growing. And, that these trends will accelerate over the next ten years as building constructed in the 1960's turn 50 years old and capital funding from all sources continue to be limited.
Furthermore, learn how the partnership between Sightlines, LLC and University of Massachusetts - Amherst that began in 2005 resulted in more refined documented building conditions, creation of portfolios of projects, and engaged campus leadership in a priority setting process to reach consensus on a multi-year capital plan through the Integrated Facilities Planning process.

Strategic Renewable Energy Planning on Campus
Part of a workshop presented by Mieko A Ozeki, University of Vermont
This workshop will share lessons learned from two public institutions, University of Connecticut and the University of Vermont, that carried out comprehensive renewable energy feasibility studies and renewable energy plans on their respective campuses. Participants will break up into small groups to brainstorm ideas to implement a renewable energy and microgrid plan, and mindmap how these ideas can be tied to research, co-curricular education activities, green job opportunities, operations, and climate action planning on their respective campuses.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

No parallel estimating process Produced detailed estimates in parallel
with multiple options
Relied only on $/sf for building type Reconciled estimates in parallel

Detailed Narratives
Approximate space requirement
- At steam main service entrance a 20’ x 14’ mechanical room is required to house the steam

- In general proximity of each kitchen, dining room, and program space, air handling unit
mechanical rooms of 14’ x 28’ will be required to house the individual units.
- Grease exhaust fans will require an 8’ x 8’ room preferably at the attic space or can be
located exterior to the building.
Equipment
-Preliminary size of instantaneous heating hot water heat exchanger to produce 2400 MBH @
50 psi steam pressure.

Escalation
Escalation: relatively high construction escalation rate in the region is expected
to persist
Over multiple years, escalation can have a major impact on how much the
campus renewal program can accomplish
Delaying a renovation project by a year has the result of making it
approximately five percent or more expensive
If project budget is not also increased, a delay reduces the scope that the
project can accomplish
