USC's administration is being
hit from all sides with requests for
building construction and
renovation.
The list is long, but the money
is short.
So how does USC decide what
and when to build? How do administrators,
whose meetings and appointments
keep them isolated
from nitty-gritty details, decide
who gets what?
"Decisions are made by what is
most important academically," said
Charles Jeffcoat, USC director of
planning and information management.
"These priorities can change.
None of them are set in stone."
Planners consider student convenience,
public access, parking
space and expense when choosing
a building's location.
Construction can be financed by
state and federal grants, private
money or more typically, by capital
improvement bonds.
me Donas, wmcn proviue mosi
of the funds, are issued by the
state. Every two years USC submits
a five-year plan to the state
requesting construction money.
In a time of tight USC budgets,
Jeffcoat said funding will be
sought from all places possible.
Getting a grip on the university's
vast and diverse needs, administrators
are in the process of
developing a master plan for renovations
