BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PHASE

 

 

 

 

FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT, NEW WESTMINSTER PERMANENT CAMPUS

: The permanent campus will be ready for occupancy between July
1982 and January 1983. The square footage of the building will be
five times the amount of space on the present New Westminster campus.
Range and complexity of programs and general level of amenities will
be accordingly enhanced.

In order to have programs operational and all equipment im. place
for a smooth start-up, new equipment and furnishings must be ordered
during the preceding twelve months - August 1981 onward.

In order to order equipment and supplies, we must secure budgetary
approval from the Ministry of Education this Spring. Budgetary approval
implies not only coming up with estimates of the total amount of money
which we would like, but an ability to defend and justify "line by line"
our requirements, together with an ability to demonstrate that we are
making maximum use of existing equipment and furnishings.

 

We intend to continue using the user group structure which has
served us all so well and continue, as in the past, to base our decisions
on counsel from those with most knowledge - the users themselves.

The following statements are based on this principle. You will
note that existing structures continue unchanged and that most of the
work will be completed by the time of the formal split - thus ensuring
that we have maintained continuity through the most critical phases
of building development.
