ACE Fellows Visit To Ball StateACE Fellows Gain, Give Perspective During Ball State Visit
J une 18, 2012
They learned about Ball State University’s (IN) exceptional use of facilities to support student success and about the innovative geothermal heating and cooling system, one of the institution’s sustainability initiatives.
Forty-eight members of the American Council on Education (ACE) Fellows Program gained from Ball State President Jo Ann M. Gora’s perspective on the important role that facilities and sustainability initiatives play in ensuring student success.
The day focused on campus master planning, the geothermal sustainability initiative and planning residence halls for student success.
"The visit to Ball State provided a unique living laboratory that pulled together so many themes of the entire Fellowship experience—planning, finances, leadership, campus vision, senior cabinet team work—and how all of this comes together to serve the institutional mission of service to students,” said Sharon A. McDade, director of the ACE Fellows Program. “Ball State University is exceptional in how it exemplifies best practices in all of these areas."
The ACE Fellows said that the Ball State campus was a valuable laboratory.
Ball State University President Jo Ann Gora talks to the 2011-12 ACE Fellows.

Overview
Ball State’s Evolving Master Plan
Where are we Now?

Ball State University
What is a Master Plan? A comprehensive blueprint for the future!
– What do we have?
– What do we want?
– How can we get there?
It should develop a framework for coordinating campus development in response to the strategic vision– A living document; strategic plan can change
– Short-term and long-term elements

Ball State University
What does it Look Like?
The process:– It must be inclusive and have the right expertise– Can cost $100,000 to $750,000 or more
The product:– One comprehensive written document or a combination
of documents, policies, ideas, presentations, etc. Long-term “site” plan, housing & dining plan, signage guideline
policy, etc.– Type of plan can be affected by various factors
Enrollment growth and funding environment are critical factors 6

Rundell Ernstberger Plans Identified future sites for:
– Academic Buildings – West of McKinley
– Residence Halls – North of Studebaker (Comprehensive Master Plan)
Neighborhood concept– Academic, Administrative/Support, Residential, and Athletics
Addressed McKinley Avenue (safety and visual appeal)
Established comprehensive transportation plan
Vibrant Campus – Landscape development, site improvements

Where are we Now?
Have held off on a new comprehensive plan for several years– Stable enrollment – quality versus quantity– Fiscal environment suggested little funding for new
buildings– Existing plan addressed immediate and mid-term needs
Issuing an RFQ for a Comprehensive Master Plan– Looking to the future – Ball State has changed…– Addressing institutional and state priorities– Campus inclusion and documentation will be key
elements
15
Ball State University
Specific Project Prioritization & Review Consistent with institutional and state priorities Facility condition (deferred maintenance) and life safety issues Could we address need with existing space – reallocation, etc. Lean towards renovation versus new (consider cost and long-term functionality)
Funding model – current and ongoing costs– State, Federal, Philanthropic, Grant, Auxiliary Revenue, etc.
Long-term stewardship– Set aside 2% to 5% of replacement value annually (Financial Planning
Guidelines for Facility Renewal and Adaptation, a joint project of SCUP, NACUBO, APPA, and Coopers & Lybrand)

Central Campus Academic Project
Three Buildings– Impact about 2/3rds of all student (11,000 to 14,000
students per week!)– Focus is life safety and mechanical systems
Part of strategic plan - improve core academic facilities– Long tradition of maintaining versus asking for new
buildings
Legislatively Authorized: $52.7M total ($33M and $19.7M)
State Approved: $40.5M ($33M and $7.5M)– Yet to be approved $12.2M

Athletic Facilities
BSU is a member of the Mid-American Conference
– Membership at the Division 1-A level is an institutional priority
Prior campaign had one athletic project – Scheumann Stadium
Looking at the feasibility of a small capital campaign to address
critical deficiencies and bring our facilities up to standards
