Case Study Lakeshore Commons Field Project (LCFP) There is untapped potential on the Lakeshore Campus with underutilization of the Commons Field to the east of Building L. The project will revitalize the field to create a vibrant resource that integrates faculty, students and community needs to support applied learning and ensure exceptional student experience. It will provide new outdoor teaching and learning spaces, recreational space, and infrastructure for a stage for the Humber Students Federation (HSF) and School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCAPA) students. Strategically, this project enhances investments to support highquality academic and student faculties, equipment and technology to contribute to Humbers mission and vision. It aligns with the Sustainability Priority of maintaining green space, and selecting durable and sustainable material. In 2010, the Lakeshore Commons building was opened and it was decided that the pathways, lighting and seating component would not be completed until the students established the pathways through high traffic wear. In 2013, the Humber Students Federation (HSF) started hosting largescale Frosh Week events on the field, which has caused thousands of dollars of extensive damage to the sod on the field and particularly the lane way near the north entrance of the L Building. This project will enhance the space to; create new concrete walkways; construct stairs and a ramp in front of Building G, as well as stairs between Buildings C and D; install site lighting to match campus standards; build infrastructure for an outdoor stage; fix drainage issues; landscape the area; and provide access or delivery trucks that does not damage the sod. Project outcomes will include; increased utilization of the space; reduced accidents due to students using natural pathways when wet, icy, muddy, etc.; increased direct access for students with mobility issues; increased sustainable solutions for pathways and laneways, and support systems to protect the sod and reduce cyclical damage to the space; remediate drainage problems; support for campus safety through increased lighting; and innovative student space that supports Humbers Polytechnic vision. There are no mandatory requirements to complete this project, but leaving the field in its current state of constant damage and underutilization is the alternative. The duration for the project is nine months and the budget is estimated at $759,600 (excluding tax). This breaks down into; $50,000 for Design Consultants; $382,000 for Construction; $10,000 for Electrical; $186,000 for Furniture; $10,000 for IT / Telephony; $63,300 for Project Management; and $58,000 for Contingency. Decreased costs are expected in terms of maintenance of the sod. Facilities Management resources will be required for project and construction management, and Media Services / School of Performing Arts will advise on AV / power requirements for design of the stage. External Design Consultants will be required but no ITS, contract or new parttime staff are needed, and no new space is required as existing space will be renovated. Senior Leadership in Facilities Management would be the most appropriate sponsor with high interest and high power. Most other stakeholders will have high interest and low power: faculty and performance arts students who will use the outdoor spaces, HSF, Conference Services, Humbers Day Camp Providers and Lakeshore Community event space organizers (Culture Days and Doors Open Toronto). There are no other dependencies for this project. Case Extension: 1. An average cost of $11,000 per year was spent on student accidents from year 2010 to 2013 due to student accidents; it is assumed that outcome of LCFP will help totally eliminate this cost. 2. It is also expected that the new space would contribute to an indirect revenue generation for Humber by increased enrollment; this is estimated at $30,000 per year for the next 5 years with an increase of 2% on a year by year basis (assume that the outcome of this project will deliver benefits for 5 years). 3. Target completion: Year 2017 4. Risk Level: Medium (success Rate: 80%) Calculate NPV, IRR, DPI and Opportunity score assuming discounting factor as 10%.
