Athletic Facilities and Programming Plan COUNCIL FOR THE BUilT ENVIRONMENT Co-Chairs: Dr. Carol A. Fierke, Provost and Executive Vice President Dr. Jerry R. Strawser, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer May 14, 2021 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. John L. Junkins Interim President, Texas A&M University SUBJECT: CBE Recommendation: Athletic Facilities and Programming Plan The CBE reviewed a request from Athletics for approval of an Athletics Facilities and Programming Plan. In alignment with the 2017 Campus Master Plan, this plan would guide the facilities and programming development for the Athletics area, including fundraising efforts. This plan follows the precedent set by the Corps of Cadets Facilities and Programming Plan which was approved in 2017 and, if approved, should be viewed as an amendment to the 2017 Campus Master Plan. Athletics worked with Populous to develop the plan and consulted with campus stakeholders such as Office of the University Architect and Transportation Services. The plan focuses on the future facility needs of the Athletics department and addresses their alignment with the Campus Master Plan. This plan is intended to guide future development; however, there is the possibility the plan could be amended in the future if departmental needs change. If approved, this plan will help Athletics with the development of new buildings, including determination of priorities and images for fundraising. The Athletics program is located within the Athletics and Recreation character zone of the CMP (pages I 02- 105). This zone currently has about 2.4 million gsf, and the CMP notes there is potential to add an additional 1.36 million gsf. The proposed Athletics Facilities and Programming Plan is in alignment with the Campus Development Plan as projects demonstrate: synergies and intermixing of program uses; open space is reinforced by creating new spaces in between buildings; and existing and new pedestrian connections are reinforced. The site and development plan show a small increase in density from the CMP, an increase in connectivity between buildings, and building massing appropriate to the typologies. Planned projects included as part of this plan are: • East of Wellborn Road: o Removal of Mcferrin Athletic Center. Removes temporary indoor practice facilities for track and football located south of Kyle Field along Wellborn Road. o New Indoor Practice Facility. Contains 140-yard practice field and will have a connection to the Bright Complex. o New Gameday Plaza. Located north of the new practice facility, this would allow for tailgate areas and parking outside of gameday. Also includes a designated area for broadcasting vehicles. Jack K. Williams Administration Building , Suite 100 1248 TAMU College Station, TX 77843-1248 USA Tel +1 979.845.4016 Fax +1 979.845 .6994 http://cbe.tamu.edu/ May 14, 2021 CBE Recommendation: Athletic Facilities and Programming Plan Page 2 o New Student Athlete Academic Center. Three-story facility adjacent to the practice facility, approximately 80,000 gsf. It is intended to utilize the same materials palette as the Player Development Center. o New Outdoor Football Practice Fields. Three fields located south of the indoor facility. o Connection between Davis Center and Player Development Facility. o Connection to Aggie Park. New 12 ' wide pedestrian connection. o New Ceremonial Entry Drive. In the CMP thi s is shown as corning off of George Bush Drive, but due to the planned grade separation in this area the drive is reconfigured to tie into Houston Street. It forms a center axis aligning with the Bright Building. Refer to figure I for graphical representation. o New Parking. Addition of approximately 200 spaces. • West of Wellborn Road o Removal of existing outdoor track facility. o New Indoor Track Facility. o New Outdoor Throws Area. o Removal of existing old softball stadium. o New Covered Multi-Purpose Turf facility. o Renovation of Soccer Stadium. o Potential New Soccer and Athletic Support Building. Located south of the West Campus Player Development Center. o Addition of Pedestrian Corridor. To include 12 ' wide pedestrian paths. All renderings and floor plans shown in the plan are conceptual to be used for fundraising efforts only. RECOMMENDATIONS The Design Review Sub-council (DRsc) voted to recommend approval of the Athletics Facilities and Programming Plan with the following caveats: • Approval of the plan is limited to use as a guide for prioritizing and fundraising efforts to help set a plan for future growth. • As funding becomes available and projects are ready to proceed with implementation, they need to be submitted to the CBE for review and approval. • Alignments and building placements as conceptually proposed (2-dirnentional and 3-dirnensional representations) will supersede the 20 l 7 CMP. As projects are funded and developed, the 2017 CMP remains the guiding document as it pertains to character zones and design guidelines. • Before saving as the final report, Athletics must provide a revised plan which removes any use of the term "district plan" which is outdated. In alignment with the 2017 CMP, this is a Facilities and Programming Plan and should be correctly labeled. • Renderings of these proposed new facilities are taken as conceptual only and are serving as placeholders. It is the expectation of the DRsc that the designs will be further elevated and will allow for comment in regard to the development of architectural features, vocabulary, etc. • It is recommended that for graphical purposes, the buildings are expressed more in terms of geometry rather than a specific design, so as not to set any expectations on building aesthetics before the design process has begun. • As design progresses on the new indoor football practice facility, project team must carefully study the relationship between the facility and Wellborn Road. Explore whether the facility can be pushed back farther from the road or what other design strategies could be used to provide a buffer between May 14, 2021 CBE Recommendation: Athletic Facilities and Programming Plan Page 3 the new facility and the road. Also, the design team must carefully study the balance between the massive size of the proposed new facility and the monumentality of Kyle Field. This will require a study on how to appropriately combine architectural elements from the existing facility to tie into the new, in terms of use and scale. Design team should consider innovative ways to reduce the appearance/size of the practice facility to address human scale. • New projects should consider incorporation of Low Impact Development (LID) management strategies when designing associated outdoor / landscape areas. • Utility corridors need to defined and, in keeping with existing strategy, located under the new driveways. The Maintenance Review Sub-council (Msc) recommends approval of the Update to the Athletics District Plan. The Technical Review Sub-council (TRsc) supports the proposed request to move forward with the Athletics Facilities and Programming Plan and recommends approval provided the following issues/concerns are addressed. Environmental Health & Safety • Ensure that fire lanes or aerial access requirements are met per the International Fire Code Office of Budgeting & Analytical Services • Each project will need to come back with a full financial review as they move forward . Utility & Energy Services • Because of the proposed 80,000 sq. foot building and the indoor football facility, our main concern is the availability of thermals to the project area. Controlling humidity to the indoor football facility could be another concern. o Thermals would need to come from the lines that UES dead-ended at Stallings and Joe Routt. These are 20-inch CHW and 12-inch HHW. 1 would suggest they be tied into the existing Kyle Field lines as they are installed to the south. o There is an 18-inch DCW line that crosses under Wellborn Road near Olsen Field is under the existing football practice field that can be used to supply the facility. • As the project nears design, other boilerplate remarks would be as follows; o Acceptance from UES must be obtained during design and before any installation. Project drawing reviews should be filtered through the UES Project Review team for prompt disbursement and turnaround. The Project review team includes individuals from multiple crafts such as BAS, Metering, Electrical, Plumbing, along with other areas of the UES team. On top of contacting Tech Services, please make sure to include the U ES project review team as well: Tech Services - [email protected] I Project Review - [email protected]. o If any utility system(s) will need to be modified or added to as part of the project, the project design team will need to follow the applicable T AMU Design Standards: https://uti Iities.tamu.edu /design-standards/ o Any excavation or modification to the area will need to follow the policy for digging on campus: https://utilities.tamu.edu/digging-campus/ o The project and design team will need to coordinate and work closely with Building Automation and Metering ([email protected]) to ensure proper system operation for the proposed spaces. May 14, 2021 CBE Recommendation: Athletic Facilities and Programming Plan Page 4 • Since the Kyle Field area of the project is slated for FY23, we would like to defer our specific concerns about the West Campus portion until that phase is closer to design. The CBE voted to recommend, with noted caveats, the President's approval of the request from Athletics for approval of the conceptual design of an Athletics Facilities and Programming Plan. 5/24/2021 oc /,, fl.I Mark H.

    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION SUMMER 2009A Dutchman’s pipe vine blooms in Aggie maroon and white at the Holistic Garden on the West Campus. The garden, which offers lessons in horticulture to Texas A&M students and other visitors, has an annual budget of about $80,000 to pay student workers, buy plants and maintain facilities. Dr. Joe Novak, who established the garden, hopes creating an endowment will help him to expand the garden and educate more Aggies there. See page 18 for the full story. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Education Is Our Obligation At the Texas A&M Foundation, we spend a lot of time thinking and talking about the value of higher education. From time to time during our daily work, each of us may consider a fundamental question: Why am I raising money for Texas A&M University? Inevitably, we find the answer just outside our Hagler Center offices on campus. The answer is in the mind of the education major from Beaumont—with help from a scholarship, she will fulfill her goal of teaching the next generation of promising students. It’s in the heart of the renowned history professor who has devoted his life to the study of British history—funds from a faculty chair provide the resources to further his research and teaching. It’s in the spirit of the Texas A&M Rodeo Team cowboy from Glen Rose—without a scholarship, he could not attend a major university and compete nationally in the sport that defines his young life.

  • MARCH 2020 Tim Michl
    MARCH 2020 Tim Michl SEASON OUTLOOK STRENGTHS A&M Soccer concluded their 2018 campaign with a record of 17-5-1 and a winning percentage of .761. The Aggies obtained their 24th straight appearance at the NCAA Championship Tournament and advanced to the second round for their 20th consecutive season. 16 letter winners return from the 2018 campaign, including nine players who started at least 50 percent of last season's 23 matches. The returnees account for 40 of the Aggies' 49 goals from last season. The Maroon & White welcome back All-American Ally Watt and All-SEC performer Addie McCain. Other key returnees include SEC All-Freshman Ásdís Halldórsdóttir and Mexico National Team standout Jimena López. Selected No. 12 in the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Preseason Ranking, and No. 1 in the SEC Preseason Coaches’ Poll. WEAKNESSES Lost stability in the goalie position with senior Cosette Morche graduating. Very little to no control over match dates/start times. Schedule moving away from Friday night matches (highest attended matches during past seasons). Loss of strong Maroon Militia leadership, with no true student leadership this student group has lost momentum over the past few seasons. OPPORTUNITIES Strong stability within the community, Coach G has built a program that consistently wins from year to year, helping to build the fan base and create strong support from many members of the community. Unique seating bowl at Ellis Field which allows students & fans to sit around the entire field of play – allowing for a fun and exciting atmosphere. NCAA in-venue noisemaker rules do not apply to soccer, this will allow for noisemakers as giveaways, along with allowing bands (Aggie Band (FTAB), Hullabaloo Band) to come out and play before and during the match.

    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE | FALL 2009 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Foundation Steers Steady Course In September the Texas A&M Foundation celebrated its 56th birthday and 10th anniversary in the Jon L. Hagler Center. It was a delight to see more than 400 of you—our former students and friends—at our pregame celebration Sept. 5. Much has changed since we moved into our new building in 1999. Many of you recall when the corner of Houston and what used to be “Jersey” Street was the University Police station. A few of you might remember even further back, when this spot was the location of an old county project house built in the late 1930s. There is a certain elegant symbolism in the fact that the campus home to major-gift philanthropy—the Hagler Center—sits on the site of a fundamental act of charity: folks back home helping poor kids go to college. Ten years ago the Foundation employed 72 people and managed assets of $537.9 million. Today we have 95 on our staff and oversee $1.2 billion in assets for Texas A&M. Back then we didn’t have an Internet and fans were just good Ags at Kyle Field, not people following our Facebook page. I’m privileged to say that my position and title have not changed since 1993. Bob Rutledge, my predecessor, directed the Foundation for 12 years before me. I hope you agree that this stable leadership, along with your generous gifts, has contributed to our success. Leadership change at A&M has been much in the news.

  • President Michael K. Young President, Texas A&M University
    COUNCIL FOR THE BUlLT ENVIRONMENT Co-Chairs: Dr. Carol A. Fierke, Provost and Executive Vice President Dr. Jerry R. Strawser, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer September 18, 20 18 MEMORANDUM TO: President Michael K. Young President, Texas A&M University SUBJECT: CBE Recommendation: Sponsorship Signage The Athletics Department and A&M Ventures are seeking approval for sponsorship requests at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park, Davis Diamond Softball Stadium, and Kyle Field Stadium. These requests would require graphics/signage at each facility. • AARP is interested in sponsoring the home radio booth at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. The sigt1age would be on the face of the press box. • Chickfila would like the opportunity to sponsor the foul poles at both baseball and softball fi eld s. Any possible impairment to the foul poles, either with in stallation or removal, would be very minimal. • A Ford sponsorship request is to be placed on the outside of Kyle Field Stadium next to the Hall of Champions signage. MARCOMM has seen and approved the renderings from a marketing and branding standpoint, as it fits within the overall brand strategy of Texas A&M. This request is tied to a multi-media rights contract that allows the university to seek sponsorship tied to television/radio sponsorship for static signs and venues and also indicates corporate signage. Page 427 of the Campus Master Plan addresses Commercial, Temporary and Mi scellaneous Signs: To provide a consistent signage plan for Texas A&M Un iversity, exterior-facing commercial signage (those specifically intended to be viewed by the general public), other than outlined in these recommendations, is not permitted on the university campus.
