Four small college ADs sat down with D3.ticker and BOSCA to talk about all things facility projects, including lessons learned from past projects, constituent involvement, revenue generation and more. Augusta (DII) AD Ryan Erlacher has three key lessons learned: “Making sure communication with all parties involved is prioritized. Transparency is important for those impacted by the construction. Always be ready for the unexpected, must be able to adapt.” Wayne State College (DII) AD Mike Powicki recommends to “Get your architect and GC on board together as early as possible, especially during the time when developing your project cost model. As a Division II institution, a shared-use facility model shows value, partnership, and fiscal responsibility to your campus and community. This strategy was definitely important in getting our project approved. It also opened doors to different donors who did not want to ONLY support athletics.” As for who to involve in the process, Southwestern AD Ken Ralph cautions against having too many people involved: “Every group is going to try to ensure their one area of purpose is included and most times the budget does not allow for that. […] This is why it is important to determine the direction of the facility before attempting to gather feedback and keep all of that feedback in line with the direction of the project. I know colleges all love to talk about 'collegiality' and 'incorporating all voices,' but that can dilute a project. You certainly want to gain insight from others on campus to be sure you are not missing anything, as it is easy to operate with a blind spot, but it is best to do this very early in the process.” On revenue generation, Heidelberg AD Greg Cooper says the university’s fieldhouse project had a significant focus on bringing in new revenue, with plans to hire a new staff member to oversee it who will have responsibilities to do so. On the other hand, Ralph notes: “Focus on the needs of your teams/institution first. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted with the “possibility” of generating external revenue from your facility. Design to your specific purpose, and if the final design has the opportunity to generate revenue, then you can make plans to maximize it then. To be honest, almost everybody overestimates how much revenue their facilities will make, so don’t let ancillary revenue possibilities dictate design.” Tons more. (link)
