Ferrante on schedule; COIN design work beginning and campus shuttles sold
Summary
OCC told committees Ferrante capital work should wrap by fall semester, COIN design RFP is out with construction expected in 2027, and the college sold its campus shuttles at auction because it could not staff drivers.
College staff updated committee members on several capital and operations items: Ferrante project contracting should finish in time for the fall semester, a design RFP for the COIN project has gone out with construction expected to start in 2027, and the college no longer operates campus shuttles because it could not find drivers and the vehicles were auctioned.
"We do not have the campus shuttle. We actually sold both of the shuttles. We couldn't find drivers and those shuttles were just sitting there... So we actually sold them at auction," a staff member said when a legislator asked about campus transportation.
Members and staff discussed accessibility concerns for student spectators getting to athletic fields; staff acknowledged the walk from residence halls to fields and said attendees historically make the trip. The COIN design and relocation plans were described as proceeding, with some moves starting in fall and construction expected to begin in 2027.
