The meeting was called to order at 7:07pm 1. The Capital & Expense Budget Priority for FY’17 was handed out but wasn’t discussed in detail. 2. Marechal Brown, Director of Horticulture, NYC Parks, Forestry, Horticulture, Natural Resources and Kristen King, Director of Forest Restoration, NYC Parks' Natural Resources Group spoke about Roundup uses: DPR uses few weed control methods such as chemical weed killers (Roundup), mulch and invasive species eradication. Because of the high volume of international trade the New York City region is at the center exposure to invasive plants into the United States. For the same reasons NYC also has the greatest diversity of non-native plants. Invasive species are the leading cause of decreased plant biodiversity in urban landscapes. There are 5,000 acres of forested parks in NYC. Woody invasive vines such as Bittersweet and Porcelain Berry are the most common invasive plants in NYC parks. But because of a limited staff (12 full time gardeners), the Natural Resources Group use small-scale applications of Roundup; no one area can get dedicated attention. And because of low funding and small staff, it is impossible to go back to the same area on weekly bases.

  • From the Executive Vice President
    From the Executive Vice President Following a long winter of unprecedented cold and snow, spring has finally arrived. As we begin to enjoy the beautiful weather on campus and prepare for University Commencement, I want to take a moment to thank all of the Facilities and Operations employees who worked amid the freezing temperatures and record snowfall to keep the University community safe and comfortable this winter. Your efforts were truly remarkable and representative of our standard of excellence. You can read more about how our employees worked together to “weather the storm” on page 7 of this edition of Off the CUF – our quarterly newsletter to communicate to and showcase our amazing employees and the important work we do to support the core educational and research mission of the University. It is important to note that this is the first edition of Off the CUF since the announcement of the new Columbia University Facilities and News for the Employees of Operations organization. In fact, it was only a little over three months ago, on January Columbia University Facilities 14th, that Robert Kasdin announced the integration of University Facilities, Campus Services, and Strategic Communications, creating the new Columbia University Facilities and Operations and Operations organization. Yet, even in the short period of time we have been working together as one team, we have accomplished much. While this is certainly not an exhaustive VOLUME 16 | SPRING 2014 list, some examples of our work together thus far include: Contents Strengthening Employee Engagement • We held meet and greet sessions with all of the new departments that now report 3 Facilities and Operations to me.

  • Here Is the Winter 2013 Edition of Off The
    From the Executive Vice President a olidays! As we enter the holiday season, we end the calendar year on an eventful note, highlighted by the ceremonial rising – or “topping-out” – of the last beam of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center (page 7). Th is is an important milestone in the construction of the building and a tangible symbol of Columbia’s long-term development in Manhattanville. Th e ceremony was an especially nice moment for the ironworkers who erected the building’s steel, as it not only completed the structural steel framework of the building, but also marked the fi rst project in New York City that used an innovative safety netting to further protect workers from injury. I am proud of the investments we have made to provide the safest possible environment for our construction workers. You can read more about our comprehensive construction safety program on page 7. As we build the new campus, projects such as the Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering, the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at the Journalism School, Th e Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS)Graduate Student Center and the Physics Th eory and Data Analysis Center continue our eff orts to revitalize the Morningside Campus and create the types of spaces where our students, faculty and staff can thrive. I’m thrilled that some of our recent projects have garnered several News for the Employees of awards for industry excellence (page 8), including the Municipal Art Society’s Best New Building and LEED Gold Rating awarded to the Campbell Sports Center and an Columbia University Facilities Excellence in Design award given to the Muscota Marsh by the New York City Public Design Commission.

    The High Line at the Rail Yards Press Kit Friends of the High Line Leadership 2 The High Line at the Rail Yards Design Features 3 – 6 The High Line at the Rail Yards 7 – 9 Design Statement and Design Team 10 – 13 1 Joshua David Co-Founder and President Friends of the High Line Joshua David co-founded Friends of the High Line with Robert Hammond in 1999 to save the High Line, a historic elevated railway on Manhattan’s West Side, then under threat of demolition. Under his leadership, Friends of the High Line has successfully advocated for the preservation and reuse of the High Line as a public park, transformed and opened the High Line structure to the public in three phases, become a fully licensed partner of the City of New York, and raised more than $350 million in private and public funds for the park’s construction, endowment, and annual maintenance and operations. Since opening in 2009, the High Line has become a leading model for community-driven adaptive reuse, and Joshua’s work on behalf of the park has been recognized by civic and professional groups worldwide. In 2010, he and Robert Hammond received the Rockefeller Foundation’s Jane Jacobs Medal for New Ideas and Activism, an award made to New Yorkers “whose work creates new ways of seeing and understanding New York City, challenges traditional assumptions, and creatively uses the urban environment to make New York City a place of hope and expectation.” In 2013, Joshua and Robert received the Vincent Scully Prize, which recognizes “exemplary practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, historic preservation, and urban design.” A longtime Chelsea resident, Joshua is a member of the Advisory Council of Transportation Alternatives, which works to reclaim New York City’s streets from cars and to promote bicycling, walking, public transit.
