UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning September 6, 2002 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Mathematical Sciences Building Draft Focused Tiered Environmental Impact Report The campus proposes to construct and operate a four-story, approximately 65,000 gross square foot (37,704 assignable square foot) Mathematical Sciences Building. The new building would be located in the central 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 Mathematical Sciences Building site. To accommodate the proposed project, the campus is considering three potential plans for the Hog Barn building, including: (1) relocation to a site in the central campus located southwest of the Silo complex, (2) relocation to a site in the west campus, and (3) demolition. The proposed Mathematical Sciences Building would provide space for the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and a new campus initiative in Computational Science and Engineering. 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 near-term growth projected for the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and would allow for the development of the Computational Science and Engineering initiative. The project would also release space in Kerr Hall, thereby providing expansion space for other programs in the College of Letters and Science. I am writing to inform you that a Draft Focused Tiered Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) has been prepared for the proposed project. You are invited to review and submit written comments on the Draft EIR to the Office of Resource Management and Planning through October 21, 2002. In addition, a public hearing to receive testimony as part of the formal record on the Draft EIR will be held on October 8, 2002, at 7 PM in the Memorial Union's East Conference Room. Copies of the Draft EIR 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 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/. The public notice for this project, which includes a brief project description, statement of project objectives, and summary of potential impacts, is also available online. Comments on this Draft EIR must be received by 5:00 p.m. on October 21, 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 02-112
