Timing
1. That the College begin search activities by the summer of 2008 in accordance with priorities that may be given to different facility options.
Ownership vs. Lease
2. That facility search activities emphasize ownership rather than lease opportunities. The facility search needs to be cognizant of changes to market rental rates, interest rates and inventory and be ready to change emphasis if necessary and to amend or modify search criteria as the market dictates.
3. That the Finance Committee be assigned responsibility to review the long term fiscal strategy to support building purchase, including use of reserves and borrowing.
Purchase Option
4. That facility search activities include both the purchase and renovate strategy, and the purchase land and build strategy, bearing in mind the need to complete the former by May, 2011 and the latter by November 2010.
Lease Option
5. That facility search activities keep a watching brief on developments at 121 Bloor Street East and on commercial lease rates and be prepared to substitute leasing solutions for ownership solutions in the event of change in the current environment. Leasing search activities for a new location should be invoked not later than May 30, 2011 if purchase/build searches have not been successful.
Location
6. That a search for a new facility be concentrated within walking distance of the Yonge and University/Spadina subway lines between Union and Eglinton stations and between Spadina and Sherbourne stations on the Bloor Street line.
Size
7. That, where financially feasible, search parameters be based on a minimum of 75,000 square feet by 2012 with the flexibility to increase or decrease the space requirements by 25,000 square feet through the use of full cost recovery subletting.
Quality and Services
8. That College facilities include a Class A or equivalent quality, efficient floor plate design, contiguous vertical floors, sufficient size and configuration for Council and Hearing facilities, support for high end electrical, data and voice communications, accessibility for the handicapped, and 24-hour unlimited access.
9. That College facilities include where possible, LEED compliance (levels range from certified to platinum), availability of car and bicycle parking, conventional on site storage space, base building security and signage to create organizational awareness.
