  • Creating a New Normal to Meet Changing Times
    Creating a New Normal to Meet Changing Times A Profile of President Chuck Scott By Anita Blumenthal hen incoming APPA President Chuck Scott was working to become an Eagle Scout in the late W 1960s, he formulated a personal mission state- ment, although he admits he didn’t realize that’s what it was until decades later, when he was in the APPA Leader- ship Academy. That statement was, “Always leave a camp- site cleaner than you found it.” He firmly believes “that statement led me into what I’ve become. It led me to my work ethic and moral standards. It led me to be a loyal fam- ily member, an active community servant, and now, leader of an international facilities management organization.” Although Scott’s path to facilities management was not obvious to him, the seeds were sown early. He grew up in rural Illinois, spent a lot of time outdoors with his three brothers, and developed a great appreciation for the environment. He wasn’t really aiming for college, but he was attracted to the horticultural program at the local community college and continued on to Southern Illinois University to earn a bachelor’s degree in plant and soil science. After eight years in the landscaping business, in 1985 he joined Illinois State University (ISU) in Normal, Illinois as director of grounds maintenance and recy- cling, and has been at ISU ever since, holding positions as director of campus services, executive director of facilities management, and currently, executive director of facilities management, parking, and transportation.

  • Board of Trustees in February 2011
    ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY OARD OF B TRUSTEES Report No. 2019.07/1100.01 Campus Master Plan Update Executive Summary Illinois State University values strategic planning. Its culture is infiltrated with plans stemming from all facets of the institution, all integrated with the University’s strategic plan, Educate•Connect•Elevate: Illinois State—The Strategic Plan for Illinois’ First Public University 2018-2023. The current campus master plan, Master Plan 2010- 2030: Looking to the Future, was approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2011. It reflects a long-range plan for the physical development of Illinois State University in its future size, form, function, character, image, and environment. Master Plan 2010-2030 includes 67 recommended actions spanning from instruction, research, and academic support; campus life; administration; Intercollegiate Athletics and recreation facilities; and general campus improvements. Many actions have advanced and are noted in the Master Plan 2010-2030 Progress Report section of the Master Plan Update 2010- 2030. Master Plan 2010-2030 called for a 10-year review and update in order to reflect the current campus, the State of Illinois, and overall higher education environments. In September 2018, President Larry Dietz appointed and charged the Master Plan Update Steering Team to develop an update to the Master Plan 2010-2030: Looking to the Future that considers the realities of operating as a public university in the State of Illinois in lean financial times. The Master Plan Update Steering Team consulted widely with students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and annuitants to assist in determining strategic focus areas that include current and new recommended actions that reflect the University’s priorities for the duration of the life of Master Plan 2010-2030.

    A COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED BY THE TOWN OF NORMAL ©2013 PhotoBea VOL. 30 ISSUE 2 JUN.–AUG. 2016 Uptown’s newest development: High-end apartments promise a more urban lifestyle One on the Circle, the new boutique residential development coming to Uptown, is moving forward. The project was approved by the City Council in late March and is slated to break ground early this summer. Occupancy is expected in late summer or early fall of 2017. The 21 apartments are designed for those who want the quality and higher-end amenities of a single-family home without all the obligations that come with it. “There’s something to be said about being able to lock your door and take off for three weeks without worrying about anything,” says Tartan Realty Group’s Doug Reichl, the team behind the development. “We spent a year talking to some of the area’s leading stakeholders about this project and saw there was an unmet demand for housing that embraces a more urban lifestyle.” Located directly on the Circle adjacent to the Hyatt Place Hotel (also developed by Tartan), the project offers a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. All will have in-demand features like open living and entertainment spaces; gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances; hotel-grade bathrooms; oversized, operable windows; and independently controlled temperature systems. Every unit on the penthouse level will also have a private terrace.

EMERGENCY POWER 5 E. INTERIOR DESIGN 9 F. LANDSCAPE & SITE DESIGN 11 G. SIGNAGE & WAYFINDING 16 H. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 17 I. SPACE REQUIREMENTS 17 J. ROOM NUMBERING 24 K. IMPLEMENTATION 26 L. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 27 A. ABSTRACT Illinois State University campus buildings and landscapes contribute directly to the quality of the experience and life and effectiveness of the work of students, faculty, and staff. The creation and maintenance of the campus is a very high priority for Illinois State University. The role that each building and landscape element plays in the composition of the total campus is just as important as the role played in meeting the specific needs identified in the project’s program requirements. These design guidelines will direct the design of campus facilities for each construction project, major repair, and renovation projects. Separate from the University Design and Construction Standards, it is the intent of the Illinois State University Design Guidelines to be the source of guidance and information for designers and consultants to reference throughout the design process for Illinois State University design and construction projects. B. DEFINITION OF TERMS It is important to understand terminology when discussing or using Design and Construction Guidelines. The following are Illinois State University’s generally accepted definitions of the types of space and building areas that are relevant to application of these guidelines. These definitions are consistent with those used by the “Postsecondary Education Facilities.
