Bergstrom Complex

Jaime pollard on the cyclone scoop talked about some facilities they want to update and build. I heard a new tennis facility and they want to expand the football locker rooms and make a player's lounge. I'm surprised they forgot to make one.

It's pretty rare that an amenity is simply forgotten, generally something is not there because it had to be value engineered out of the project. We all have to live within our budgets...

How do you get into the business of telling researching this sort of thing. That's a nice chunk of change for a report that says yes you need this.

The project manager is an ISU employee, and $48k is his budget to do the study. So that includes his hourly time spent plus anything he hires out to be done - surveying, hiring other engineering firms to do load/electrical/plumbing calculations, etc. It's for project feasibility (sufficient infrastructure, space, etc.), not "do we need it." I suspect Pollard/others already think we need it otherwise they wouldn't do a feasibility study.

Knowing all this would've required reading the actual details of the project as opposed to just opening the link and trying to think of something witty to say or a way to take a dig at Rhoads. But that is the cf way anymore.
 
I'm guessing that Campbell sees the need where Rhoads didn't as much. Not to mention, the AD budget is quite a bit larger now than it was when they were planning the FOF. If they were smart, they made the building easily expandable. I would hope that they had a little foresight when they were putting the plans together.

Not sure if serious but the business is called engineering/architecture/planning. ISU wants to expand Bergstrom but you don't just show up with Joe Builder and start working. You compile a report of what's there, what the client wants and what it will take to do it.

It's not a machine shed on a farm.

Rhoads wasn't tone deaf; I'm sure he saw the need. A study like this needs approval from the top, which often takes time. The wheels were likely set in motion under Rhoads but in the FY17 budget.

Holy high horse Batman. For the prints, the utilities, planning etc. It's a fair number.

I remember when I graduated college and my grandma told me to apply to Featherlite for $12.50/hr. I explored other options.
