$28,563,583.34

That is the amount of money brought in from the BGSU Building Dreams campaign for athletics. That is enough money to run the department for 5 1/2 years WITHOUT any other university support.

These paragraphs were taken from the February Board of Trustees meeting. At that meeting JUST LAST MONTH they voted to spend a total of $6,900,000!!!! And they find it impossible to find money for the Ice Rink or hockey program. Who's lying in all this? Also, when and why did they buy the Huntington building in the Commerce Park (East of I-75) and what did they spend on it????

"Action taken
On a related but more immediate front, the trustees approved replacement of the roof on McDonald Quadrangle, which was last re-roofed in the early 1980s. Leaks there now are affecting freshman student rooms, Stoll said. Nearly 43,000 square feet of roofing will be replaced at an estimated cost of about $1 million.

The project is among several smaller capital issues in the residence and dining halls that can’t be ignored, Stoll noted, calling them “momentum maintainers.”

In a similar vein, roof replacement and/or masonry work was approved for several academic buildings, at an estimated cost of $1.3 million. As a whole, the work constitutes the second summer’s worth of deferred maintenance projects—part of a 10-year plan.

Among the buildings whose roofs will be replaced are the Health Center (the lower roof), Moore Musical Arts Center, Overman Hall (chemical storage area), biology greenhouse, Tucker Center for Telecommunications and West Hall. Spot masonry “tuck pointing” is scheduled for Overman, West, Shatzel and Williams halls, along with the Life Sciences and Psychology buildings.

In other business, the trustees:
• Approved installation of data infrastructure east of Mercer Road to serve, for instance, the recently acquired Huntington Bank building in the Research Park and the future Stroh Center. In addition to providing redundancy, the infrastructure extension will help accommodate the relocation of administrative units to the Huntington building in future years as renovations are done to core campus buildings such as Hanna, University, Moseley and South halls, Stoll said. Cost of the “east data ring” installation is estimated at about $1.2 million.

• Approved the expansion of student parking lots 5 and 12, west of Perry Field House, to compensate for the loss of Lot 6, at Perry Stadium, to the Stroh Center project. The $3.4 million expansion includes new lots north of the field house—as well as an expanded lot to the west—and the relocation of upgraded marching band practice fields to the immediate west of the building. The relocation of Lot 6 parking is necessary to avoid a delay on the planned Stroh Center work."
