After much searching and deliberating, the decision has been made for the Chancellor’s Office to remain at 575 Stone Cutters Way but to occupy a significantly smaller footprint. We will be relinquishing the conference rooms and other VSC space on the ground floor, as well as the “Chancellor’s end” of the second floor. Moving forward, the Chancellor’s Office will occupy one half of the second floor, which is approximately one-third of the existing space. This turned out to be the most economically feasible and least costly option. Thank you to Jen Porrier, Kathy Armstrong, Dick Ethier, Mike Stevens, Michael Martel, Jed Hock, Tom Maguire, and Sharron Scott for their participation on this project.
The deadline for clearing out offices is May 20th. Those employees who regularly work in the office will have a dedicated space. Those who work occasionally in the office will share space with someone else and will coordinate schedules so as not to overlap. There will be space available for those who need to use the office on a rare occasion, including visitors from the campuses, as well as conference space for small groups to meet. We will be setting up an automated process for reserving office space and conference space.
