Committee recommends relocating USIMAC to support assistive technology and reclaim student space in Ogden
Summary
USDB's working group recommended relocating the Utah State Instructional Materials Access Center (USIMAC) to a new dedicated space on or near the Ogden campus to better align assistive-technology needs and free current space for student instruction; the committee included this as Priority 4 in its package.
The committee's Priority 4 recommendation is to relocate the Utah State Instructional Materials Access Center (USIMAC) to a new dedicated space on or near the Ogden campus designed to work with the assistive-technology team, repurposing the current space for student instruction and enabling removal of antiquated portables.
Board members requested flexibility in the language so staff could explore off-campus repurposing (for cost savings) if an on-campus solution proved financially impractical. Member Davis suggested exploring reconfigurations within USBE office space and other nontraditional properties, and Dr. Tanner and Superintendent Patton said prior location explorations had included a wide range of options.
