UC DAVIS: Office of Resource Management and Planning September 3, 2004 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Giedt Hall Draft Tiered Initial Study and Proposed Negative Declaration UC Davis proposes a new classroom building to provide additional lecture hall space. The proposed Giedt Hall project would be located within the core campus and would establish a single-story, approximately 15,500 gross square foot (gsf) (10,800 assignable square-foot [asf]) classroom building. The project site is located directly west of the Architects and Engineers Barn, north of the Engineering Bikeway and Kemper Hall of Engineering (formerly Engineering Unit 2), east of Bioletti Way, and south of Parking Lot 42 and the Surge Buildings. The building would provide three-tiered lecture rooms and two smaller classrooms with a total capacity of about 650 seats, which would better serve the increasing demand for classroom space on campus. The two-acre project site currently includes 18 single-story temporary buildings that were constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s will be removed to accommodate the proposed project. These buildings are currently occupied primarily by the School of Medicine and will be vacated and removed as a result of the completion of the campus' new Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility. The proposed project is a component of growth consistent with the 2003 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The project will support the 2003 LRDP objectives by increasing the available space for lectures and would provide the increased lecture space in a convenient location within the Core Campus. 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. You are invited to comment on the Draft Tiered Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration through October 4, 2004. Copies of the Draft Tiered Initial Study and proposed Negative Declaration 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/. The public notice for this project is also available online at http://www.ormp.ucdavis.edu/environreview/. The notice includes a brief project description, a statement of project objectives, and a summary of potential impacts. Comments on this Draft Tiered Initial Study must be received by 5:00 p.m. on October 4, 2004. They may be e-mailed to environreview@ucdavis.edu or mailed to: John A.
