IHL Nov. 2005 meeting highlights http://www.ihl.state.ms.us/ADMIN/downloads/BdNov05.pdf -- The Board Staff concurs with the university’s request for the cancellation of contract for GS #114-003, Hardy Hall Renovation & Infrastructure, and requested cancellation by the Bureau of Buildings, Grounds, and Real Property Management. We understand that there may be some fees owed to the Contractor, D. N. P., Inc. Biloxi, Mississippi. We also requested that these funds be held until the university decided the future of the Gulf Park Campus. (pp. 41-42)


Ugh.  This part sounds like I'm going to remain officeless, too.  Does anyone have the inside track on when the university will decide "the future of the Gulf Park Campus?"  In which direction are the powers-that-be leaning?




This is from another thread, but is worthy of its own thread. Is there any news on the Gulf Park campus? I had heard a rumor that the IHL would give the campus to another university (likely MSU) if USM pulled out of the site. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Note also the closed-door meeting on "restoration." Why hold an executive session?

EXECUTIVE SESSION

On motion by Ms. Whitten, with Mr. Owens absent and not voting, the Board voted to close the meeting to determine whether or not it should declare an Executive Session. On motion by Ms. Whitten, seconded by Mr. Patterson, with Mr. Owens absent and not voting, the Board voted to go into Executive Session for the reason later reported by the President in Open Session and stated in these minutes, as follows:

Discussion of the restoration efforts at The University of Southern Mississippi.

On motion by Ms. Whitten, seconded by Mr. Patterson, with Mr. Owens absent and not voting, the Board voted to return to Open Session.

Mr. Frank Alley, Assistant Commissioner of Construction and Physical Affairs, reported on the restoration efforts and possible additional land sites for the Gulf Park campus, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, and other USM sites on the Gulf Coast. No action was taken.

At the same time, note that building plans and bid advertising were approved for the GP lab science building.

10. USM - Approved the Construction Documents as prepared by the project professionals, Studio South Architects, PLLC, authorized advertising for the receipt of bids, and request approval by the Bureau of Buildings for GS #108-217, Health & Science Lab/Gulf Park Campus. Funds are available in the amount of $8,229,499 from S.B. 2988, Laws of 2003, and S.B. 2010, Laws of 2004.
