[Biology-adjunct] Fwd: Integrative STEM Building - Stream Location and Design

Hi all, Please see the latest email from Ron below and provide any feedback you may have. Thanks, Cawa ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ron Kaufmann Date: Tue, Jun 17, 2025 at 12:55 PM Subject: Integrative STEM Building - Stream Location and Design To: Beth O'Shea , David De Haan < ddehaan@sandiego.edu>, Kate Boersma , Wilnelia Recart Gonzalez , Suzanne Walther < swalther@sandiego.edu>, Nathalie Reyns , Ryan J McGorty , Cawa Tran , Rick Olson , Marissa Forbes , Mark Chapman , Nikhil Yadav Hi All, I hope your summer is starting well. At the OAC meeting this morning, the team from Gensler shared some potential location and size ideas for a stream adjacent to the Integrative STEM building. I've attached a pdf of that graphic to this email. We really need feedback on these design options and people's preferences, if any. The pdf includes some key considerations, and there may be others that are missing from this list. You'll notice that there are three different locations, each with different dimensions. Please let us know what you think at your earliest convenience. There is an environmental labs focus group meeting via Zoom tomorrow morning, starting at 9:00. In addition to making some initial decisions about the stream, we also hope to get a more solid idea of the large equipment that will go into the environmental lab spaces. I know it's summer, but your input, however brief, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Ron -- Ronald S.
