University of Minnesota, with Graduate Programs in All but One of These Fields, Ranked Among the Leading Edu­ Cational Institutions in the Nation minnesotan THE UNIVERSITY STAFF MAGAZINE OCT. 1966 is not due to unique achievement in one or two graduate programs; it is a result of the combined achievements of every discipline within the University. Minnesota's ranking in this exhaustive study should be a source of pride for every member of the University community; but it must not be a source of complacency. In his foreword to the study, A.C.E. President Logan Wilson said, "This inquiry was not intended merely to supply a conversation piece in college and university cir­ cles, but, rather, to be an aid to those departments and institutions ... which are seriously concerned about the improvement of graduate education. To effect improve­ ment, a first step is to appraise existing strengths and weaknesses." Academic excellence is not a hill on which we ean build a smug fortress; it is, rather, an ever-retreating horizon toward which we journey from day to day. While we can be proud of the distance we have so far traveled, we must continue to concentrate our energies on reaching toward that elusive goal. We must seek to strengthen our weak­ nesses, and build upon our strengths. In both graduate and undergraduate programs, our "strong" University is no more than a step away from distinction. I am confident that, with the cooperation and help of the state, this university already possesses the genius and desire that will make possible that other extra The stride upward.

Mr. Roby commented, "We think this is an ideal and efficient arrangement and are most happy to accept." The University set up a Games Policy Committee to coordinate plans and policies on the local scene and with USOC officials. Chairman of this group is Mr. Marshall F.

Secretary for this group and Executive Director for the entire event is Mr. John Dewey, Assistant Commis­ sioner of the Big Ten Conference. On loan from the Big Ten office, he will come here to work full-time from Feb­ ruary until after everything is over in early August. This trial and training period will present a virtual gold mine of opportunities. The University hopes to make these outstanding visitors as accessible as possible to the young amateur athletes in the Twin Cities and surround­ ing area.

    Indoor Environmental Quality + Classroom Environment UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) Renovation Minneapolis, MN April 2019, Minneapolis, MN Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) B3 Guidelines Caren S. Martin, PhD Abimbola Asojo, PhD (contact: [email protected]) ([email protected]) Martin & Guerin Design Research, LLC Suyeon Bae, PhD Minneapolis, MN College of Design University of Minnesota 1.0 Overview The purpose of this report is to examine the connection between sustainable design criteria used in the design of the UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) facility and occupants’ satisfaction with their classroom environments located in this building. The Tate Hall facility renovation was designed using the 2009 B3 Guidelines (formerly known as the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines or MSBG), which were in effect at the time that the new facility was completed for occupancy in August 2017. The B3 Guidelines track specific state-funded, B3 buildings as a means of demonstrating real outcomes aimed at the conservation of energy resources, creation and maintenance of healthy environments, and occupants’ satisfaction with their environments. The Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) was developed to assess human outcomes in workplace, classroom, and residence hall settings in compliance with the B3 Guidelines project tracking requirements. This is a report of occupants’ (hereafter called students) responses at 14 months post-occupancy. The survey was conducted in late-October through early-November 2018. This SPOES report focuses on students’ satisfaction with the physical environment as related to 23 indoor environmental quality (IEQ) criteria such as lighting, thermal, and acoustic conditions in their primary classrooms.
