Student Commons furniture tweaked, robotics seeks supplemental funding; cadaver table demo planned
Summary
Committee approved free pedestals to lower tables in the Student Commons and discussed a proposed soft-seating upgrade funded mainly by the Class of 2025; staff reported the robotics team qualified for nationals and will request supplemental funding, and a cadaver table technology demonstration is scheduled.
Committee members reported positive feedback on recently installed Student Commons furniture and approved getting pedestals at no cost to lower tables by eight inches to improve ergonomics.
Staff also discussed a proposal for additional soft seating and stool-height counters; the project is expected to be primarily financed by the Class of 2025 with supplemental funding from the Class of 2024. The committee did not make a final funding decision at the meeting and indicated further details will be provided to the Board or in follow-up materials.
Michael Dugan said one set of portable bleachers will be delivered April 21. Dugan also coordinated a technology demonstration for a cadaver table to evaluate whether it could be integrated into curriculum. Separately, the robotics team qualified for the National Championship in Houston; staff noted fundraising is underway but costs remain, prompting a request for supplemental funding and a mandatory meeting with team sponsors the following day to discuss the need.
Justin Krueger reported an upcoming bank conversion after the acquisition of First National Bank & Trust by Bank First Corporation, planned for the following month; the committee discussed the operational timing but recorded no formal action.
