These would be approximately 5 by 3.5 feet with a vertical profile. The committee approved this plan with one abstention. Steve Orlick felt that the committee should have hired an architect to consider individual signs for the buildings, that would match their architectural style, rather than having one consistent style for all of the buildings. Deborah DuVall reminded the committee of a project to improve the Stevenson Hall western stairwell and loading dock. The stairwell is a safety hazard because of the small door landings on the second and third floors.
Students coming out of the building often collide with students going into the building.
Deborah reported on a plan being developed by the architectural firm, TLCD, which would add an external stairwell to the building at the western loading dock. She explained that expansion of the existing internal stairwell would be structurally difficult and expensive and that the new external stairwell would be a more feasible solution. The committee instructed Deborah to continue working with the architects to develop schematic plans and to bring these plans back to the committee. As the committee was adjourning, Steve Orlick asked the President about consideration of a proposal from the faculty of the Environmental Studies and Planning Department to name the SSU Native Plant Garden.
