UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning July 15, 2002 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Mathematical Sciences Building Draft Tiered Initial Study The campus proposes to construct and operate a four-story, approximately 65,000 gross square foot (37,460 assignable square foot) Mathematical Sciences Building. The new building would be located in the core campus, south of the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, west of California Avenue, north of the Academic Surge building, and east of Engineering Unit 3. The Hog Barn building (a structure that meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historic Places) is currently located on the proposed project site. To accommodate the proposed project, the campus is considering three potential plans for the Hog Barn building, including: demolition, relocation to a site in the central campus located southwest of the Silo complex, or relocation to a site in the west campus. The proposed Mathematical Sciences Building would provide space for the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics, a new campus initiative in Computational Sciences and Engineering, and the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science. The building would include faculty and staff offices, office support space (including storage areas), conference and seminar space, and computer laboratories. The project would accommodate growth projected for the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and would allow for the development of the Computational Sciences and Engineering initiative. The proposed building would also release space in Kerr Hall, providing expansion space for other programs in the College of Letters and Science. I am writing to inform you that a Draft Tiered Initial Study has been prepared that analyzes the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The Initial Study identifies that a Focused Tiered Environmental Impact Report will be prepared for the proposed project to evaluate environmental impacts in the areas of historic resources and aesthetics. You are invited to comment on the Draft Tiered Initial Study through August 14, 2002. Copies of the Draft Tiered Initial Study are available during normal operating hours at the UC Davis Office of Resource Management and Planning in 376 Mrak Hall on campus; at Reserves in the UC Davis Shields Library; at the Yolo County Public Library, 315 E. 14th Street, Davis; at the Vacaville Public Library, 1020 Ulatis Drive, Vacaville; and online at http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/. Comments on this Draft Tiered Initial Study must be received by 5:00 p.m. on August 14, 2002. They may be e-mailed to environreview@ucdavis.edu or mailed to: John A. Meyer Vice Chancellor - Resource Management and Planning 376 Mrak Hall University of California One Shields Avenue Davis, CA 95616 If you have any questions, please contact UC Davis Environmental Planner Sid England at (530) 752-2432. Sincerely, John A. Meyer Vice Chancellor - Resource Management and Planning 02-093
