Five Year Capital Budget
2005-06 Budget
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Five Year Capital Budget process is to formalize the planning of major acquisitions for a period longer
than a single year. In order to focus on a five-year planning period, the Campuses have revised their existing processes
or introduced new procedures. In several cases, this has been more difficult than was initially thought, and more time will
be required before these processes achieve the necessary involvement and structure originally envisioned. After seven
years the units are beginning to appreciate the five-year planning concept as a key element in the management of their
resources, but the process at most campuses does not receive sufficient attention.
Prior to the decision to budget depreciation at the campuses, the campuses did not embrace the concept of multi-year
capital planning because the financial future often seemed unpredictable. Resources were generally scarce and capital
expenditures were often perceived as deferrable or even discretionary. Unfortunately, failure to make routine investments
in our plant and equipment eventually requires debt-financed expenditures in order to “catch up”. This negative view of
planning for future capital expenditures began changing, however, with the arrival of depreciation funds.
Beginning mid-way through 2001-02, the University changed the way it budgeted for depreciation. Prior to 2001-02,
depreciation was budgeted centrally, but now each campus is responsible for its own depreciation. This means that the
campuses and other units must treat depreciation as an operating expense and set aside revenue to cover it. Suddenly,
the campuses have a lot of cash that can be spent only on capital equipment, facilities and debt principal. Annual
depreciation for the entire University is over $3.2 million, and this amount of money justifies planning.
This Five Year Capital Budget is concerned primarily with technology and facilities. These two areas constitute the
largest locus of investment being made by the University and the Campuses in recent years, and we believe that these
areas will capture the largest part of our capital expenditures in each of the next five years. Technology, in particular, is
likely to be the focus of considerable attention at the campuses as each attempts to respond to increasing student
demands for greater and greater computer sophistication. High-speed data circuits now make video conferencing
possible, and distance learning is becoming highly dependent on electronic technology. In addition to technology and
facilities, this Capital Budget contains a third section dealing with all other types of capital acquisition, but expenditures in
this third section are primarily for library periodicals and monographs.
The Five Year Capital Budget is presented by campus. For each of the five years, a narrative description is provided for
facilities, technology and other acquisitions. In addition, a schedule summarizing the items by year and category is
provided following the narrative. It is intended that by adopting the 2005-06 operating budget, the Board of Trustees will
simultaneously adopt the capital acquisition plan contained in the first year of the Five Year Capital Budget.

2005-06 PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
|. FACILITIES 2005-06
A.
Priority 1: Renovation of Science Building. There is a need to create a space conducive to the delivery of
learning communities.
Analysis. A careful study determined that the first floor of the Science Building was the best space to locate the
first-year learning communities.
. Proposed Action. Complete the renovation begun in 2004-05.
Priority 2: Birch Hall lmprovements. In addition to general improvements in the dorms, there is a need to make
this space compatible with the concept of learning communities.
. Analysis. Birch was identified as the dorm easiest to convert to this use. Because of the need to move quickly
for the fall 2005 class, Birch was selected as the initial dorm to modify.
. Proposed Action. Complete the renovation begun in 2004-05.
Priority 3: Renovation of Second-Year Learning Community Space. There is a need to create a space
conducive to the delivery of learning communities.
. Analysis. Determine the location and begin construction on academic space for second-year learning
communities.
. Proposed Action. Spend $250,000 to create this space, with $125,000 being expended in May and June of 2006.
. Priority 4: Dorm Renovation. In addition to general improvements in the dorms, there is a need to make this
space compatible with the concept of learning communities.
. Analysis. This project will be annual, selecting the most appropriate dorm each year based on a thorough needs
analysis.
. Proposed Action. Designate $350,000 annually for this purpose. $175,000 of this amount will be spent in May
and June of 2006.
. Priority 5: Environmental Control Study. Nearly all of the buildings on the College campus were built before
modern environmental control systems were developed. Some of the buildings such as South Hall, have been
renovated and retrofitted with efficient thermostatic control systems, but most of the buildings have less than
adequate systems. In some cases, the original compressed air systems are not working at all. In these
buildings, temperatures are regulated during the winter by opening windows.
. Analysis. As a first step to evaluating the cost-benefit of system upgrades or replacements, the College
contracted with Viron Energy Services in 2003-04 to perform at no cost a study of the energy conservation
opportunities available to the College. This initial survey showed that there are a large number of opportunities to
save money and energy, and suggested a more comprehensive analysis.
. Proposed Action. Identify those areas that have the greatest potential for energy savings, and hence return on
investment.
. Priority 6: Landscaping. The physical appearance of the College is a major factor in the decision-making
process of many parents and students when considering whether to select Antioch.
. Analysis. Besides being an important factor in the selection process, landscaping also is important in setting the
tone of the campus. Attractive grounds suggest a pleasant environment in which to work and study
. Proposed Action. The College recommends a steady, annual investment in upgrading the general attractiveness
of the campus green space.
. Priority 7: Sidewalks. The majority of the campus walkways are blacktop, many of them are old and
deteriorating. Many of the campus concrete walks suffer from severe spalling. Brick patio and paving has
become uneven over time.
. Analysis. In addition to the attractiveness issue, proper maintenance and improvement of sidewalks and other
walkways are a safety issue. In some cases, the walkways need to be widened for improved access to the
disabled.
. Proposed Action The College recommends a steady, annual investment in upgrading and improving the condition
of sidewalks and walkways.
. Priority 8: Roof Repair and Maintenance. The deferred maintenance on roofs across Campus is problematic
and increasing.
. Analysis. A scheduled upgrade to roofs will reduce the chances of needing an emergency repair or replacement.
C. Proposed Action. Designate $50,000 per year to repair and replace roofs. Part of these funds in 2005-06 will
repair leaks in the Gym. McGregor and the Library will be coated to extend their useful life. Other priorities will
be established with a thorough study.
. Priority 9: Deck & Stair Repair North Hall. The East concrete porch and stairs, a code required exit from this
building, is in poor condition.
. Analysis. The deck has cracked over time allowing water intrusion which, in conjunction with freezing and
thawing, is causing damage in this area.
. Proposed Action. Timely repairs will rescue this area and preclude the need for total demolition and
replacement.
A.
Priority 10: West Hall Improvements. The bathrooms in West Hall need wall and ceiling repairs and improved
ventilation.
Analysis. These improvements are necessary to permit students to reside once again in West Hall.
. Proposed Action. Install improved ventilation in four shower rooms. Repair walls and ceilings in those same
rooms.
Priority 11: Lighting in West Gym. The box courts have inadequate lightening to conduct classes being offered.
Analysis. The space is not really safe to be used for the activity and it clearly affects the enjoyment of the activity.
. Proposed Action. Install ceilings and high efficiency lighting bringing the light level to national association
standards.
TECHNOLOGY 2005-06
A.
B.
C.
Priority 1: Computer Workstations. Few subjects can be taught today without the use of personal computers.
Analysis. Much of the hardware currently in use at the College is obsolete and incapable of running current
software. Many students own their own laptops and expect that the faculty will take advantage of the hardware
and software that is currently on the market. The faculty, however, are frequently required to use hardware and
software that is several generations older than what the students have.
Proposed Action. Each year for the foreseeable future, it will be necessary to acquire a number of personal
computers for use by the faculty and for the computer labs used by students who do not own their own
equipment. There is a backlog of obsolete machines that need to be replaced, and our initial efforts are
concentrated on upgrading these workstations. At our annual rate of investment in new machines, it will take
several years to become reasonably current with the acceptable level of technology.
. Priority 2: Backup and Storage File Server. The College has provided back-up service for faculty, staff, and
students, but the server used for this purpose is woefully inadequate.
. Analysis. The size and reliability of the current server no longer meet the needs of the campus. When the only
data being transmitted was text messages, the amount of server space needed to retain all of the information
generated during a term was relatively small. However, the expansion of multi-media applications requires much
larger storage space.
. Proposed Action. Purchase a new back-up and storage file server that will insure that many hours of student and
faculty effort are not lost due to a component failure.
. Priority 3: Instructional Technology for Learning Communities. In order to move forward on our instructional
computing priorities, several facets of the Plan for Antioch College must begin to be funded.
. Analysis. This includes funds for laptops computers for faculty teaching under the new curriculum, appropriate
software, and physical and technological renovations of existing classroom and instructional library spaces on
campus. Such renovations include appropriate projection, audio and visual presentation resources, and robust
wireless access for the instructors. Equipment necessary to conduct adequate training is also essential.
Contracting with technology training providers may be necessary in order to assure that faculty receive
an appropriate amount of instructional support.
. Proposed Action. Provide $125,000 annually for three years to complete the first phase of implementation.
. Priority 4: Academic Support Technology. The Plan calls for a movement towards a Digital Commons solution
for research and other library services. Access the these services must be expanded so that the research and
instructional materials can be accessed by both Learning Communities on campus and Extended Learning
Communities that are remote.
. Analysis. Funding will be necessary to expand the current campus-only access to periodical resources, network
access will need to be added to the library itself, and a major upgrade needs to be performed of the web portal.
Training in the use of electronic resources must be regularly available to students and faculty. A research
librarian with appropriate talents in the digital library area arena must be added to the current staff.
Investments must also occur for a storage and retrieval system for faculty and staff work and projects.
C. Proposed Action. Provide $40,000 annually for three years to complete the first phase of implementation.
A. Priority 5: Student Services Technology Upgrades. For the Plan, it is necessary to provide network and printing
access throughout the campus, not just in traditional learning areas, such as classrooms, labs, and the library.
B. Analysis. Expansion of the campus network to include buildings that are currently not able to reliably access
electronic resources include North Hall, Norment, and the Theater. It is essential that connectivity be added to
these spaces. Improvements in the College’s network backbone will also be necessary to accommodate
increased demand for resources. An initial step should be taken for establishing a Print Center in the First Year
Learning Community assigned dormatory. Contracting with technology service providers may be necessary
in order to assure that this work can be accomplished in a timely manner.
C. Proposed Action. Provide $125,000 annually for three years to complete the first phase of implementation.
Ill. OTHER 2005-06
A. Priority 1: Cafeteria Equipment. The equipment in the cafeteria needs to be replaced as it wears out or new,
improved equipment becomes available. Furnishings in the cafeteria are also important in providing satisfactory
service.
B. Analysis. The condition of equipment affects the ability to provide quality food and service and the furniture in the
cafeteria says much about the campus. Therefore, periodic replacement is necessary to insure adequate food
preparation and service delivery. An attractive dining area is important to student recruitment and retention.
C. Proposed Action. Establish a schedule for replacement of equipment and furniture in the cafeteria and provide
annual monies to address these improvements.
A. Priority 2: Replacement of Residence Halls Furniture. The furniture in other dormitories receives considerable
use and has not been replaced in any systematic fashion.
a | _
B. Analysis. The condition of furniture in common areas says much about the campus and periodic replacement is
necessary to insure reasonable comfort for the residents and to assist with the recruitment of new students.
C. Proposed Action. Identify a durable type of furniture, one that will withstand periodic professional cleaning and
begin to systematically replace common area furniture. Establish a schedule for replacement of in room
dormitory furniture as an Ongoing cost of dormitory operation.
A. Priority 3: New Vehicle for Security. The present security vehicle is no longer being used because of the
excessive costs of repair and a van is being used instead.
Analysis. The present security vehicle is unreliable and inefficient. It is a surplused cruiser with a V8 engine.
Proposed Action. Purchase a electric-powered vehicle for the Antioch College Security Department.
Priority 4: Replace Existing Mower. Frequent breakdowns lead to inability to maintain the mowing schedule.
Analysis. The maintenance costs and downtime on the large batwing mower dictates its replacement.
Proposed Action. After thorough analysis of equipment available, purchase new, environment-friendly mower.
Priority 5: Library Books. The library collection needs to be refreshed with current titles on an on-going basis.
D9 >OD FO D
. Analysis. The library is a critical aspect of providing higher education. Materials must be current and adequately
support the breadth of the academic program.
C. Proposed Action. Provide an annual amount of money to acquire new library materials.
2006-07 PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
l. FACILITIES 2006-07
A. Priority 1: Renovation of Second-Year Learning Community Space. There is a need to create a space
conducive to the delivery of learning communities.
. Analysis. Determine the location and begin construction on academic space for second-year learning
communities.
. Proposed Action. Spend $250,000 to create this space, with $125,000 being expended in July and August of
2006.
. Priority 2: Dorm Renovation. In addition to general improvements in the dorms, there is a need to make this
space compatible with the concept of learning communities.
. Analysis. This project will be annual, selecting the most appropriate dorm each year based on a thorough needs
analysis.
. Proposed Action. Designate $350,000 annually for this purpose.
. Priority 3: North Hall HVAC Improvements. During the last 30 years, air conditioning in dormitories has moved
from “non-existent” to “expected.”
. Analysis. Some of the College dormitories have air conditioning. Therefore, to make these facilities more
attractive both to students living there and as an inducement to potential students to enroll at the College, more of
the dormitories need to have central air conditioning.
. Proposed Action. In 2005-06, HVAC improvements are planned for North Hall. At present, North Hall does not
have sufficient electrical capacity to support air conditioning. However, as part of the electrical upgrades planned
for this year, electrical service should be available. If for some reason the electrical improvements contemplated
in Priority 5 are not completed, the HVAC project for North Hall will have to be deferred.
. Priority 4: Environmental Control Systems, Phase |. Nearly all of the buildings on the College campus were built
before modern environmental control systems were developed.
. Analysis. Some of the buildings, such as South Hall, have been renovated and retrofitted with efficient
thermostatic control systems, but most of the buildings have less than adequate systems. In some cases, the
original compressed air systems are not working at all. In these buildings, temperatures are regulated during the
winter by opening windows. Work will have been done during the previous Phase, but more will be needed
before all the energy control problems are resolved.
. Proposed Action. The College will contract to implement the 2005-06 study’s suggestions. Those areas that
yield the greatest RO! will receive priority consideration while continuing the College’s philosophy of single source
control providers to reduce replacement parts inventories and employee training requirements.
. Priority 5: ADA Doors, Ramps and Restrooms. Campus buildings were designed and constructed before there
was much thought to making them accessible to the disabled.
. Analysis. As a consequence and despite considerable effort in recent years, a few buildings and parts of several
others remain to be made universally accessible.
. Proposed Action. To the extent possible, the remaining major buildings that are not accessible will be ramped to
permit access. Power doors will be installed on additional entrances. A major effort will be made to provide a
universally accessible restroom on each floor of each building.
. Priority 6: Window Replacement. Much energy is wasted as a result of inefficient windows and worn out
glazing.
. Analysis. Depending on which buildings have been renovated with funds raised by the Capital Campaign,
priorities for window replacements need to be established and addressed in a systemic fashion.
. Proposed Action: The College recommends a steady, annual investment in replacing windows with energy
efficient units.
. Priority 7; Landscaping. The physical appearance of the College is a major factor in the decision-making
process of many parents and students when considering whether to select Antioch.

. Priority 10: Repair Exterior Brick. Many exterior walls of the historic buildings at Antioch College are in
desperate need of re-pointing.
. Analysis. The College will begin a multi year project to repair and preserve the envelope walls of its historic
buildings. The results of the study and analysis performed in 2006-2007 will provide us with the mortar formula
and material sources to begin this vital work.

Training in the use of electronic resources must be regularly available to students and faculty. A research
| librarian with appropriate talents in the digital library area arena must be added to the current staff.
Investments must also occur for a storage and retrieval system for faculty and staff work and projects.
C. Proposed Action. Provide $40,000 annually for three years to complete the first phase of implementation.
A. Priority 4: Student Services Technology Upgrades. For the Plan, it is necessary to provide network and printing
access throughout the campus, not just in traditional learning areas, such as classrooms, labs, and the library.
| B. Analysis. Expansion of the campus network to include buildings that are currently not able to reliably access
electronic resources include North Hall, Norment, and the Theater. It is essential that connectivity be added to
these spaces. Improvements in the College’s network backbone will also be necessary to accommodate
increased demand for resources. An initial step should be taken for establishing a Print Center in the First Year
Learning Community assigned dormatory. Contracting with technology service providers may be necessary
in order to assure that this work can be accomplished in a timely manner.
C. Proposed Action. Provide $125,000 annually for three years to complete the first phase of implementation.

use and has not been replaced in any systematic fashion.
Analysis. The condition of furniture in common areas says much about the campus and periodic replacement is
necessary to insure reasonable comfort for the residents and to assist with the recruitment of new students.
. Proposed Action. Identify a durable type of furniture, one that will withstand periodic professional cleaning and
begin to systematically replace common area furniture. Establish a schedule for replacement of in room
dormitory furniture as an ongoing cost of dormitory operation.
Priority 3: Vehicle Replacement. Replace several existing fleet vehicles with more appropriate and energy
efficient units.
Analysis. While it is not possible to state with certainty the kinds of vehicles that will be most appropriate in the
future it is clear that vehicle replacements will be required. It is not likely that hydrogen vehicles will be available
at this time, but LNG vehicles may be practical if a local refueling site is functioning.
Proposed Action. Provide an annual amount to replace the fleet on a scheduled basis.
Priority 4: Library Books. The library collection needs to be refreshed with current titles on an on-going basis.

A.
B.
Priority 1: Renovation of Academic Space. There is a need to upgrade academic areas on an on-going basis
Analysis. To continue to support improved academic delivery, monies need to be directed toward modify
classroom space to facilitate learning objectives.
Proposed Action. Spend $125,000 annually.
Priority 2: Dorm Renovation. In addition to general improvements in the dorms, there is a need to make this
space compatible with the concept of learning communities.
. Analysis. This project will be annual, selecting the most appropriate dorm each year based on a thorough needs
analysis.
. Proposed Action. Designate $350,000 annually for this purpose.
Priority 3: Environmental Control Systems, Phase III. Nearly all of the buildings on the College campus were
built before modern environmental control systems were developed.
Analysis. Some of the buildings such as South Hall, have been renovated and retrofitted with efficient
thermostatic control systems, but most of the buildings have less than adequate systems. In some cases, the
original compressed air systems are not working at all. In these buildings, temperatures are regulated during the
winter by opening windows. Work will have been done during previous Phases but more will be needed before
all the energy control problems are resolved.
. Proposed Action. The College will contracted to implement the 2005-06 study’s suggestions. Those areas that
yield the greatest ROI will receive priority consideration while continuing the College’s philosophy of single source
control providers to reduce replacement parts inventories and employee training requirements.
A. Priority 4: HVAC improvements. There is a need to upgrade and replace HVAC systems across the campus.
. Analysis. Temperature regulation is important to employee productivity and student satisfaction.
C. Proposed Action. To avoid deferred maintenance in this critical area, an annual amount needs to be designated
for this purpose.
. Priority 5: ADA Doors, Ramps and Restrooms. Campus buildings were designed and constructed before there
was much thought to making them accessible to the disabled.
. Analysis. As a consequence and despite considerable effort in recent years, a few buildings and parts of several
others remain to be made universally accessible.
. Proposed Action. To the extent possible, the remaining major buildings that are not accessible will be ramped to
permit access. Power doors will be installed on additional entrances. A major effort will be made to provide a
universally accessible restroom on each floor of each building.
. Priority 6: Window Replacement. Much energy is wasted as a result of inefficient windows and worn out
glazing.
. Analysis. Depending on which buildings have been renovated with funds raised by the Capital Campaign,
priorities for window replacements need to be established and addressed in a systemic fashion.
. Proposed Action: The College recommends a steady, annual investment in replacing windows with energy
efficient units.
. Priority 7: Landscaping. The physical appearance of the College is a major factor in the decision-making
process of many parents and students when considering whether to select Antioch.
. Analysis. Besides being an important factor in the selection process, landscaping also is important in setting the
tone of the campus. Attractive grounds suggest a pleasant environment in which to work and study
. Proposed Action. The College recommends a steady, annual investment in upgrading the general attractiveness
of the campus green space.

A. Priority 8: Sidewalks. The majority of the campus walkways are blacktop, many of them are old and
deteriorating. Many of the campus concrete walks suffer from severe spalling. Brick patio and paving has
become uneven over time.
B. Analysis. In addition to the attractiveness issue, proper maintenance and improvement of sidewalks and other
walkways are a safety issue. In some cases, the walkways need to be widened for improved access to the
disabled.
C. Proposed Action The College recommends a steady, annual investment in upgrading and improving the condition
of sidewalks and walkways.
A. Priority 9: Roof Repair and Maintenance. The deferred maintenance on roofs across campus is problematic

Five Year Capital Budget
Projects above $10,000
2005-06 Budget
GLEN HELEN ECOLOGY INSTITUTE
Glen Helen’s budget is small (~$700,000) relative to the other units of Antioch University. The Institute, however, is
responsible for the maintenance of 22 facilities/structures (buildings, storage, bridges), multiple parking areas, anda
1,000 acre nature preserve which includes 25 miles of trails, a historical and cultural landscape and 250 acres
designated by the National park Service as a National Natural Landmark requiring appropriate management.
Historically, the GHEI has lacked funds to direct toward capital maintenance and improvements. The recent University
decision to expense depreciation provides approximately $20,000 annually for such projects (over the next five years).
Repair, replacement, and upgrade needs of the Glen’s facilities far exceed the funds available; however, these funds
provide a significant start. To provide a capital budget that is a useful planning tool for the Institute we have included
expenses that are $1,000 or above. In addition, the GHEI proposes several significant capital projects for the
construction and rehabilitation of its facilities at an estimated expense of $2.5 million (to be funded through the capital
campaign).
2005-2006 Proposed Expenditures
I. Facilities
A. Priority 1: Vehicle Replacement. The GHEI’s vehicle fleet is aging. There is an immediate need for
replacement of the full-size pickup. ($15,000)
B. Priority 2: Intern Residence Hosing Furniture Replacement. Quality housing is a critical factor in the Institute’s
ability to attract interns for its Outdoor Education Center. We propose to purchase furniture for either the Farm
House or Clayton House (the two principal intern housing units). ($2,000) Funding Source GHEI Capital

years. It is used extensively throughout Glen Helen to Maintain land areas. ($15,000)
B. Priority 4: Drives. There are several gravel-topped drives and parking areas that need annual repairs and
major repairs every few years to include regarding and adding of new layer of gravel. In addition, periodically
landscape maintenance must be completed to include tree trimming and drainage enhancement. ($5,000)
Unless otherwise noted, funding source for items above is the Operating Budget.
Additional Projects for Consideration
Over the next five years additional capital projects will be considered depending upon funding. One source of potential
funds is from the Capital Campaign.
A. Priority 1: OEC Administrative Offices. The OEC staff is currently housed in a rented trailer providing limited
office space. At the GHEI’s OEC a new administrative/education facility will be built providing offices,
classrooms and meeting space to serve existing programs. Secondarily the space will serve Antioch College
and regional businesses and other organizations seeking retreat and meeting space. The additional space will
provide additional revenue through weekend rentals of the space. ($350,000)
An alternative requiring considerably less funding is to rehabilitate the old office building. At a cost of $20,000
to $25,000 per year the building could be completely rehabilitated over a period of 3-5 years. The initial
investment in year 1 would provide for structural enhancement.
B. Priority 2: Trailside Museum & Visitor Center and Corry Street Entrance Complex. Originally built in 1951, this
750 sq. ft. museum is in need of major renovation. The building is poorly insulated, has its original furnace and
a roof 30 plus years old. The exhibits are out of date and of poor quality. Plans include a new roof and possible
facility expansion. The building will be retrofitted to be more energy-efficient, including insulation and HVAC
system. Additions will also include a sign-in area, and point of entry with maps, and toilets facilities, all
constructed of eco-friendly material. The Adjoining Corry Street complex will include a new “gateway” structure
including an outdoor “greenscape” to link the Glen Helen Building and parking area. ($225,000)
C. Priority 3: Renovation of Outdoor Education Center Lodge. This is a major renovation. It will include
replacement of the aging kitchen with a new and enlarged kitchen and storage; upgrade toilet and utilities to be
39
ecosystem friendly; open existing kitchen and dining area for partitioned classroom and dining space; and
upgrade finishes and use energy conservation materials. $250,000
D. Priority 4. Renovation of existing Hickory and Sycamore Dormitories. Each dormitory provides 32 beds. This is
a major renovation. A new flat roof and new HVAC system will be installed. Teacher rooms will be enhanced
and toilet and shower facilities will be upgraded. Will upgrade finishes and use energy conservation materials.
Four beds will be added to each dorm.
E. Priority 5: Renovation of Outdoor Education Center Intern Housing.
a. Clayton House: Currently an Intern Residence, will be renovated (exterior and interior repair and
renovations — water heaters, furnaces, plumbing, gutters, siding, furniture) for use as either staff housing or
be converted to student “eco-house.” $75,000
b. Farm House; Currently an Intern Residence, will be renovated (exterior and interior repair and renovations —
water heaters, furnaces, plumbing, gutters, siding, furniture) for use as either staff housing or appropriate
educational use. $75,000
c. Barn at Clayton House: This is a major renovation. The barn will be converted to Naturalist Housing
(replacing the Clayton and Farm Houses). This multi-level facility will have a common gathering area,

2005-06 Budget
ANTIOCH NEW ENGLAND GRADUATE SCHOOL
While we have filled in the Five-Year Capital Budget Summary grid, it is important here to acknowledge the fact that we
have identified needs and potential expense, realizing that replacement and/or upgrade does not easily translate to a
specific timetable.
In addition we are currently engaged in exploring the possibilities of building out our West Wing. We hope to renovate
our facility to meet the highest standards of sustainable building. This project will reflect Antioch’s deepest institutional
values—a commitment to community collaboration, engaged service, responsible dwelling, and reflective practice. The
building will serve as an exemplary public space, a model for sustainable design, and a source of learning and
awareness for Antioch New England, the Monad
nock Region, and Northern New England. This project is contingent upon a fund raising effort that will cover the costs of
the renovations. Depending on how much we raise and when, will determine when and what we build and it will impact
our capital budget.
2005-06 Proposed Expenditures
I. FACILITIES
Priority 1: Each year, Antioch New England deducts the bond principal as a capital expense. For FY
2005-06, $145,000.
Priority 2. Classroom appointments 12,000. After painting the classrooms we will add tables, chairs, and
marker boards as needed.
43
Priority 3. West Wing build-out. We are budgeting $5,000 to cover some initial planning and design work
for a possible build-out of our West Wing.
Priority 4. Renovations main building $90,000. After 10 years our facility needs some updating, new
offices and some work on our Community Spaces. We started the process in the 2004-2005 budget. We
are continuing our march through the building with additional upgrades. New Offices are needed for
Financial Aid, Student Accounts, IT, Publications and Faculty. We will continue to work on our Community
Spaces to address the “wear and tear” of ten years of good use.
Priority 5. Re-stripe parking lot. $5,000. The lines that define the parking spaces need to be repainted.
Priority 6. HVAC valve replacement. $5,000. Some of the valves that open and close vents to our
heating, ventilation and air conditioning system are wearing out and we are replacing them as they fail.
li. Technology
Technology is a perpetual “work in progress,” and we are implementing our long-term plan to address the critical
issues related to technological development. In addition, we are following a plan for prioritizing replacement,
upgrading, and application needs, as well as personnel support needs. Presently we are generally pleased with
our technology infrastructure, though more resources can always be used.
Priority 1: Computer Hardware replacement. $130,000 We continue to support computer hardware
replacement and the purchase of new computers as needed
Priority 2. Replace and update AV equipment. $22,000 Our four dated AV carts need to be replaced and
we will purchase 2 new carts to meet the current demand.
Priority 3. Prospect Management software $3,500. Our Development office needs this software to move
us along with our fund raising efforts.

and associated personal computer equipment as necessary to maintain required technological capabilities.
BARB BBB RB BABAR
Small Projects: Add wireless access points; improve tracking capability on printer server; add a portfolio
storage system server; add memory to Student Lab computers; add color laser jet printers; provide server for
course management system; provide equipment to improve server functionality.
OTHER
Priority 1: Install Audio / Visual Equipment in Classroom. Install a multi-media presentation system in nine
classrooms. Technology would be consistent throughout the school and suitable with the needs of the faculty.
Includes the installation of a projector, a wall mounted screen, DVD and VHS players, a PC with Internet
access, a document camera and an integrated sound system.
Priority 1: Furnishings for Clinic; Cameras and Recording Equipment: This covers acquisition of furniture,
cameras, and recording equipment for the Psychology Clinic. Security cameras for the accesses to the new
spaces will be provided as well.
Priority 1: New and Replacement Furniture: These cover furniture and equipment to accommodate the new
faculty and staff positions.
Priority 2: Replace Furniture: Current furnishings are going on tens years of age or more, with some over
fifteen years. We plan to replace or upgrade these items on an annual basis to better serve the community
and the university.
Small Items: Expand telephone system capacity; video equipment replacements; new and replacement
telephones; art acquisition for front reception; racks and shelving for Bookstore; Library furnishings and
equipment; Library books.
2006-2007 PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
FACILITIES:
53
Priority 1: Student Learning Center: This will provide facilities to support achievement of the AUS strategic
objective for a student learning center to provide staffing, resources, facilities, and equipment to increase the
academic competencies of students in need.
Priority 1: Replace smoke/heat detectors (life cycle replacement) and fire alarm panel: The building’s fire
alarm system will be at the end of its useful ten year life cycle. Replace the current system with an
addressable fire alarm system, to include an addressable fire alarm panel and compatible smoke and heat
detectors. This project will place us in compliance with the Uniform Fire Code.
Priority 2: Repair and resurface rooftop parking: The current roof concrete roof slab is nearing the end of its
life cycle. The top slab is deteriorating rapidly, allowing excessive water penetration and causing increasing
wear and tear on the substrate water barrier and insulation to the point of failure. Water penetration and
deterioration is evident along outer walls and at various spots throughout the interior of the building. This
project would remove and replace the top slab and loose substrate material. While the top slab is removed,
the exposed built-up vapor barrier would be recoated, the drainage system would be cleaned and repaired,
the existing nonessential chimneys at the center (east and west) parapet wall would be removed and sealed,
and all nonessential penetrations and voids filled. Re-stripe parking spaces and install parking curbs around
wall areas to prevent vehicles from hitting and penetrating moisture protection on rooftop parapet.
(Accomplishment of this project depends on progress toward a decision to expand existing facilities or acquire
new facilities — see 2007-08).
Priority 2: Remodel and Paint Building Exterior: The existing paint is faded and spotted. Stress cracks along
the exterior of the building are allowing weather infiltration and adding to the deterioration of the structural
walls. We propose to clean the exterior walls, fill cracks, patch/repair surface irregularities, seal expansion
joints, and repaint building and signage. Additionally, we will apply a veneer/curtain wall to the Sixth Avenue
face of the building to give it a distinctive and distinguished look and feel. Finally, we will repair and paint
moisture damaged interior plaster walls. (Accomplishment of this project depends on progress toward a
decision to expand existing facilities or acquire new facilities – see 2007-08).
Priority 2: Repair Parapet Wall around Building: The parapet wall is separated along the building edge.
Epoxy seal and repair to prevent water infiltration and damage to structural reinforcing steel and interior.
(Accomplishment of this project depends on progress toward a decision to expand existing facilities or acquire
new facilities — see 2007-08).
Priority 3: Card-activated Security Gate at Ramp Entrance: This project would limit vehicular access to the
rooftop parking area to authorized permit holders, visitors and daily parkers. It would include electronic access
via touch key and card reader, and an intercom system for visitor access, greatly reducing unauthorized
parking, visitor confusion and ticketing. This would significantly reduce staff involvement with ticketing and
grievance resolution.
Priority 3: Replace Furniture: Current furnishings are going on tens years of age or more, with some over
fifteen years. This would continue a regular, planned replacement program.
Small Items: Repair/replace south entrance doors; re-lamp entire building.
TECHNOLOGY
Priority 1: Upgrade Computers: This is a continuation of the 3-year program to upgrade or replace desktop
and associated personal computer equipment as necessary to maintain required technological capabilities.
Priority 1: Replace/Upgrade Laser Printers: This equipment will be nearing the end of its estimated life
cycle.
Priority 3: New Computer Classroom: With the increased utilization that we are experiencing, we anticipate
that our existing computer classroom will be booked to capacity in a few years.
Small Items: Implement On-Line Registration (Strategic Objective); improve Internet connectivity.
OTHER
Priority 1: Install Audio / Visual Equipment in Classrooms. Install a multi-media presentation system in eight
classrooms. Technology would be consistent with previous installations.
59
Priority 2: Purchase a point of sale (POS) and inventory control systems (ICS) for the Bookstore: An
integrated merchandise control tool, the Inventory Control System (ICS) will keep track of textbook, trade book
and general merchandise stock, providing up-to-date inventory information. It will also verify the annual
physical inventory counts and aid in loss control efforts. It will interface faculty orders with on-hand stock and
generate want-lists for distributor and publisher orders. It will update want-lists as orders are placed, so orders
for titles aren’t duplicated or lost. It will facilitate returns to publishers by printing returns lists and labels and
will also print price labels.
A Point-of-Sale (POS) register will provide a comprehensive point-of-sale system tracking transactions by
clerk, department, title, and time. It will provide price look-up capabilities for accuracy and can be programmed
to perform automatic discounts on sale items. It will scan incoming checks for previous NSF checks and
prompt the clerk to ask for alternate forms of payment. It can be set up to accommodate financial aid /
scholarship accounts (live DataTel interface) and can also be set up to accept campus account charge
accounts (for departmental purchases) and gift certificates. All transactions will update on-hand inventory
information in the ICS. The system requires $3000 in annual fees in addition to purchase price. E-retailing
(webstore and online transactions) requires $1500 annual fee.
Small Items: A checkout counter in the Bookstore for the P.O.S. register; video equipment replacements for
damaged or lost units; library books
2007-2008 PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
FACILITIES
Priority 1: Add Floor to Existing Sixth Avenue Building or Purchase the Group Health Building: Projections in
our strategic plan indicate a need for space to accommodate up to 1200 students. Studies are underway to
determine the most cost effective way to accommodate growth. One primary option is to add a floor to our
current building. Other possibilities are to ramp up lease space for a few years or move to another larger
location.
Priority 1: Level sidewalk along north and west sides of building: The trees fronting the building along Sixth
Avenue and Battery Street are causing the sidewalks to heave in areas where their root structures have been
able to grow unrestrained toward the surface. The uneven surface of the sidewalk is becoming a safety
problem for pedestrians. An arborist would cut or redirect the roots without harm to the trees. Once this was
accomplished a bio-barrier would be placed to redirect any further root growth away from the surface curtailing
any future upheaval of the sidewalk. The sidewalk could then be reinstalled to its original condition providing a
smooth safe walkway.
Priority 2: Install pyrolytic (vandal-proof) film over first floor windows: This will prevent the excessive cost of
window replacement due to vandalism and reduce fading of Bookstore inventory. In addition, security film can
dramatically reduce damage and injury from fractured glass hazards and provide a virtually scratch resistant
surface against graffiti. It is also energy efficient offering high-heat rejection properties. Using the proper film
will add up to 50% to the insulation factor of the window. The pyrolytic film reflects up to 99% of the sun’s UV
rays, reducing fading and the deterioration of store merchandise, furnishings and carpeting.
Priority 3: Replace carpeting in high traffic/common areas and stairwells: Replace carpeting in high traffic
areas. Replace stairwell carpeting with a more durable, low maintenance and skid resistant surface.
Priority 3: Expand Bookstore Space: We visualize that continuing increases in enrollments and expanded
marketing will justify more space for our Bookstore. The store is already operating in an extremely
constricted space that significantly reduces the ability of implementing new initiatives and increasing staff
productivity.

Priority 2: Replace windows with double-insulated glass: The existing single pane glass is drafty, stained
and weathered — hinders visibility, creates cold spots and presents a poor appearance. This will replace single
pane glass in second floor windows with a more energy efficient double pane insulated low-e glass. We will
also test for lead and asbestos containing materials in the window caulk and abate as necessary.

2005-06 Budget
ANTIOCH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Proposed Expenditures
Los Angeles Campus
The total proposed capital budget is $56,500 in 2005-2006, and varies from $51,000 in 2006-2007 to $76,500 in 2009-
2010. The Los Angeles campus relocated to new office facilities in April 2004 and major capital requirements were
addressed during that fiscal year. The proposed budget for 2005-2006 reflects minor modifications to existing offices,
including cubicles, office furniture, improvements to the campus bookstore and replacement of telephones. In
subsequent years the capital budget reflects continued changes in personnel and changes to office configurations,
furniture, cubicles and telephones. Also, signage requirements need to be addressed to increase the visibility of the
campus. Further efforts are being made in the campus ‘ library offerings, staffing and resources — these items are
planned for in the capital budget as well.
Specifically, the capital budget for 2005-2006 outlines expenditures in the following categories:
Furniture $10,000
Cubicles $35,000
Bookstore $5,000
Telephones $3,000
Public Lounges $2,000
Santa Barbara Campus
Santa Barbara continues to evaluate its financial resources necessary to acquire its own facilities. Until such time it is
anticipated its current lease will be renewed for five years effective October 1, 2006. For the next five years, therefore,
improvements to campus facilities are necessary to accommodate the growth of the campus student, staff and faculty
population. Several years have gone by without any improvements to furniture, furnishings or public space due to the
anticipated move to other facilities. The proposed capital budget reflects the need to replace old furniture, reconfigure
existing offices, and purchase of new furniture for ancillary office space.
In subsequent years the capital budget reflects further efforts to replace older furniture and furnishings and office
reconfigurations.
The capital budget for 2005-2006 is outlined below:
Furniture $60,000
Cubicles $10,000
Telephones $2,000
Library $5,000
Regional
Effective with fiscal year 2005-2006 AUSC will be centralizing its technology functions and staffing. As such, a regional
information technology department was created to address the technology requirements on both campuses. This will
ensure consistency in network administration, the implementation of new software features and applications (i.e.
Webadvisor, Online Narrative Assessment, and ApplyYourself), and staff and faculty training. The capital budget for
AUSC’s technology reflects the need to replace aging computers and printers, the purchase of new hardware for new
staff and faculty, improvements to the local area network, and classroom hardware such as projectors.
The IT capital budget ranges from $58,400 in 2005-2006 to $87,600 in 2008-2009. The capital budget for 2005-2006
for IT requirements is summarized below:
Computers 12 new @ $1,200 each $14,400
22 replacement $1,200 each $26,400
Printers 2 replacements @ $2,300 each $4,600
Local area network upgrades
Replacement of switches, routers $5,000
Classroom 2 projectors $4,000 each $8,000

|. On Campus Technology
Priority One: Employee Workstation Standardization
Analysis: During this fiscal year, Antioch McGregor’s desktop computer/ portable computer technologies used by faculty,
administration, and staff will become, in part, obsolete. The computer industry has changed so rapidly that equipment
acquired a few years ago is no longer capable of handling current software applications. This project would replace the
most obsolete units within the McGregor technology environment.
Proposed Action: Purchase enough workstations to upgrade employee computers.
Estimated Cost: $20,000.
Priority Two: Network Hardware Replacement and Expansion:
Analysis: This year must be used to upgrade obsolete networking hardware for the campus. New areas of the Fels
building are being renovated for offices and networking hardware must be expanded to accommodate the new area.
This may entail the purchase of new routers, switches, UPS units, and other miscellaneous hardware.
Proposed Action: Purchase, install, and configure new network hardware.
Estimated Cost: $20,000
Priority Three: Mobile Computer Lab:
Analysis: The McGregor Technology Council has identified the instructional need for a cart/laptop based portable lab
that can be brought into campus classrooms to allow for computer aided instruction or training.
Proposed Action: Purchase, install, and configure a new mobile lab.

Il. Classroom of the Future 2006-07
Priority One: Additional A.V. equipment and technology upgrades
No costs will be estimated as the Classroom equipment and furniture will be moved to the new building when it opens in
spring 2007. Therefore, any costs will be incorporated into the overall technology costs for Campus West.
Priority Two: Network Printer Replacement
This budget year will be used to replace the obsolete units with the campus printer pool.
Analysis: Old and unreliable printers are a significant frustration for network users.
Proposed Action: Purchase new Hewlett Packard high-speed network laser printers.
Estimated Cost: – $2,000 each X 5 = $10,000

Estimated Cost: $50,000
Proposed Timeline 2009-10
Given the current pace of technological change, it seems prudent to leave the fifth year of a capital narrative largely
undefined. This flexibility will also allow projects from previous years that could not be funded to be reintroduced during
this year.

UNIVERSITY WIDE
2005-06 PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
FACILITIES 2005-06
A. Priority 1: Emergency Power Generator. University operations are becoming more and more dependant on
Datatel and First Class messaging services. We have acquired Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) for critical
servers and communication links, but the larger servers can only be supported for about 30 minutes before the
batteries in the UPS units are exhausted. Power interruptions that are longer than 30 minutes require that we
shut down Datatel and lose E-mail communication.
. Analysis. Severe weather is a fact of life for the Miami Valley and one component of an emergency response
plan is to be able to keep critical servers and networks operating. Tornadoes, ice storms, blizzards and lightening
can all result in prolonged power interruptions. Over the past five years we have had four or five interruptions that
have lasted beyond the capacity of our UPS units and required us to shut down Datatel services. Had any of
these interruptions occurred at a critical time, such as when payrolls are being prepared or when students are
being registered, the consequences would have been far more than inconvenience. To date, we have been
fortunate that none of the interruptions have lasted longer than three or four hours, but outages of this duration
are quite possible.
Emergency power can also be of critical value if a power shortage occurs and the utility company is required to
invoke rolling blackouts or brownouts. The growing demand for electricity is taxing generation facilities as well as
the distribution network. Northern Ohio experienced a major blackout along with much of the northeast last year.
Events of this kind appear to be more likely as the demand for electricity increases.
81
Modern backup generators for emergency situations are equipped with auto-start features and special switching
equipment that isolates the generator from the public electric grid. These generators run on natural gas and/or
propane, start automatically, shutdown automatically when power is restored, and perform periodic self-tests
without the need for human involvement.
C.Proposed Action. The University has prepared a concrete pad behind the Kettering Building and installed
underground conduit to the pad from the building. A generator could be mounted here and readily connected to
the building without much difficulty. A generator of about 40 KW would be sufficient to sustain the electronic
equipment essential for the operation of the University and provide necessary cooling to keep the computer room
within the operating range of the equipment. The Administration recommends that an automated Emergency
Power Generator be acquired and installed behind the Kettering Building during the 2005-06 fiscal year.
. Priority 2: Kettering Building Pipe Maintenance. The water supply and drain lines in the Kettering Building are
almost entirely from the original construction of 1953. Virtually all of the water supply lines are galvanized pipe
and this pipe is beginning to rust through in several places. In addition, most of the major shutoff valves have
become “frozen” with time and could not be used to turn off the water supply in an emergency. Leaking water
has ruined ceiling and floor tiles, damaged lights and other electrical circuits, and could cause major flooding.
. Analysis. Replacing all of the galvanized pipe in the Kettering Building is not economically feasible, but certain
pipe segments and several of the major valves need to be replaced or repaired. Unless the leaking and
weakened pipe segments are replaced, they will continue to leak and cause damage to the building and
equipment. If the main valves are not replaced or repacked, they will continue to leak and will not be available to
shut off the water supply if there is a pipe break or plumbing fixtures in the building need to be serviced.
. Proposed Action. It is recommended that a qualified plumbing contractor inspect the piping in the building to
determine the full extent of the structural repair needs and to replace or repair pipe sections and valves that have
failed or may fail in the near future. It is estimated that the survey and repair of the most seriously weakened
components will cost $6,500.
. Priority 3. Air Conditioning Compressor. The Kettering Building offices of the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor
are served by a two-chiller system that is separate from the rest of the Kettering Building. These offices are in a
more recent addition to the building and that is why they are served by a separate system. As a result of
problems with the control system, the two chiller units previously operated throughout the winter. As a result, the
primary unit was frequently frozen and this resulted in premature failure. This unit cannot be repaired
economically and needs to be replaced.
. Analysis. The system was originally designed with two chilling units that operate in series. When the weather is
mild, one unit is sufficient to keep the offices cool, but when the temperature get above 85 degrees, the second
unit is necessary. The need for chilling has increased as the amount of electronic equipment used in the office
has increased. The additional equipment adds heat to the interior and, because the windows cannot be opened,
there is no way to remove excess heat.
At the present time, the Number 2 chiller is cooling the offices, but if it should fail during the summer cooling
period, the offices will rapidly become too hot to allow people to work productively.
. Proposed Action. A replacement for the Number 1 chiller should be purchased. Once installed, this new chiller
can assume the primary load for cooling the office space and the Number 2 chiller can return to its back-up role.
Because the Number 2 chiller has been weakened by operating in winter temperatures, its useful life has
probably been shortened. By returning it to the back-up role, we can maintain the entire system for a far longer
period of time.
. Priority 4: Kettering Window Replacement, Phase |. The main portion of the Kettering Laboratory building was
constructed in 1953 with single-pane glazing and storm windows. The single-paned windows and the uninsulated
aluminum framing transmit a large amount of heat to the exterior during winter and allow a large amount of heat
to enter the building during summer.
. Analysis. Antioch University McGregor uses much of the first floor for classroom instruction. As part of a
renovation project to the classrooms, a number of windows have been replaced on the first floor. These are
quality windows, double-glazed and insulated. They can be easily opened to allow fresh air to enter, an important
feature in a building that has no central air circulation system. New windows would greatly enhance the energy
efficiency of the building and increase its future value regardless of how it is used.
. Proposed Action. The University Administration recommends that the windows in the Kettering Building be
replaced over a three-year period using the same type of glazing and frame as has been installed in the
83
classroom areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be about $110,000, with the first year cost set at
$25,000, the second year cost set at $60,000 and the third at $25,000.
Il. TECHNOLOGY 2005-06
A. Priority 1: Server for Web Advisor. To provide effective response time for on-line registration, a new dedicated
server for Web Advisor is required.
B. Analysis. On-line registration will be an improvement in administrative efficiency, as well as providing
convenience to students that is now a student expectation. This will require more server capacity than we have
at present and a dedicated server will provide better service to students. Alterations to the server room (new
equipment racks etc.) will be required.
C. Proposed Action. The University recommends that a new server be purchased and the server room upgraded
which should not exceed $25,000.
A. Priority 2: Upgrade Laptop/Desktop Computers. The University Administration depends on its computers for the
production of documents and as our interface with the Datatel system. In addition, these machines are used for
E-mail, whether we are in the office or on the road. They receive a great deal of use and several of the machines
are becoming obsolete and need to be replaced.
B. Analysis. The price of both desktop and laptop machines has decreased steadily and the functionality and speed
of the newer machines is considerably greater than the capacity of machines that were manufactured only three
or four years ago. Laptops have become much lighter and this makes it easier to take them home for evening
and weekend work. The ability to restructure huge databases, prepare large spreadsheets, and to manipulate
graphics for presentations will all be enhanced by faster machines with larger hard drives.
C. Proposed Action. The University recommends that one desktop and two laptop machines be replaced during the
fiscal year. The estimated cost for the machines, network cards, monitors and associated equipment should not
exceed $4,500.

A. Priority 3. Backup Batteries. Batteries that will protect equipment against power outages is needed.
B. Analysis. To secure the more sophisticated server equipment that we have purchased and will be purchasing are
at risk if there is a sudden power outage. An improved battery backup system will allow the computers to
continue to operate or at least to shutdown “gracefully,” thus reducing the risk of serious and expensive computer
damage.
C. Proposed Action. The University recommends that a battery backup system be implemented to protect the
servers and the equipment in the server room at a cost not to exceed $7,500.

Priority 1: Kettering Window Replacement, Phase II. The main portion of the Kettering Laboratory building was
constructed in 1953 with single-pane glazing and storm windows. The single-paned windows and the uninsulated
aluminum framing transmit a large amount of heat to the exterior during winter and allow a large amount of heat
to enter the building during summer. This is Phase I! of the project.
. Analysis. Antioch University McGregor uses much of the first floor for classroom instruction. As part of a
renovation project to the classrooms, a number of windows have been replaced on the first floor. These are
quality windows, double glazed and insulated. They can be easily opened to allow fresh air to enter, an important
feature in a building that has no central air circulation system. New windows would greatly enhance the energy
efficiency of the building and increase its future value regardless of how it is used.
. Proposed Action. The University Administration recommends that the windows in the Kettering Building be
replaced over a three-year period using the same type of glazing and frame as has been installed in the
classroom areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be about $1 10,000 with the first year cost set at
$25,000, the second at $60,000, and the third year cost set at $25,000.

Priority 1: Video Conference System. The University began using video conferencing products that take
advantage of the high-speed data carrying capacity of the Internet during the second half of 2003-04.
Conference units are located in New England, Yellow Springs, Seattle and each of the Southern California
campuses. The conference units not only allow the campuses to connect, but they also allow personal computer
users to participate in two-way video discussions.
Analysis. Video conferencing for administrative and teaching purposes is coming into broader use as the
Nation’s telecommunication system becomes more capable of handling the high-speed data transmissions
needed to make video conferencing acceptable. Video conferencing between buildings connected by a local
area network is also quite useful; the pictures are clear and the motion is fluid.
Our use of this technology has shown that it works for administrative meetings and is exceptionally cost-effective.
Video conferences can be arranged on very short notice, are economical, and are as effective as face-to-face
meeting, but without the travel costs or lost work time.
. Proposed Action. The growing use of video conferencing means that a second conference unit is needed in
Yellow Springs. It is recommended that a complete camera and video display unit be purchased during 2005-06.
Priority 2: Upgrade Desktop/Laptop Computers. The University Administration depends on its computers for the
production of documents and as our interface with the Datatel system. In addition, these machines are used for

areas. The total cost of the project is estimated to be about $110,000 with the first year cost set at $25,000, the
second at $60,000, and the third year cost set at $25,000.
. Priority 2: Replacement of Kettering Heating Units, Phase |. The Kettering Building, with the exception of the
front addition occupied by the Offices of the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, is heated using a single pipe system
that supplies heated water to wall units in each of the laboratories and offices. These units contain a radiator and
a two-speed blower to circulate air. In addition, each unit contains a drip pan and a drain connection to handle
condensate when the unit was used for cooling. These units were installed when the building was built. Six of
the units were rehabilitated in 1999-2000, but the others have had little or no attention since the building was
87
constructed.
B. Analysis. Examination of the remaining units revealed that the motors of several had been cannibalized to keep
more critical units operating. Most of the motors are no longer capable of multi-speed operation, others are noisy
because of bearing problems, and some have failed completely. The valves used to regulate the hot water
supply to the units are not operating, and many are leaking. The drip pans used to collect condensate when the
units were used for cooling have rusted through, and the drain lines have become clogged with debris. Because
the three compressors used to cool the building have been abandoned, the wall units are not being used for
cooling at this time.
Although most of the classrooms and laboratories have more than one wall unit, there have been enough failures
that much of the space on the second and third floors cannot be adequately heated. These units are structurally
sound, but early attempts at rehabilitation have not been entirely successful. Rehabilitation, although less
expensive than replacement, has lasted only for a few years before the old components begin to fail.
C. Proposed Action. The University Administration recommends that all room-heating units in the Kettering Building
be replaced with new units that can handle both heating and cooling. This should be done on a phased basis to
avoid excessive capital expense in any one year. The estimated cost of Phase | is $45,000.

Il. TECHNOLOGY 2008-09
A. Priority 1: Replace Datatel Server. By 2008-09 the Datatel Development Server will have been in use for eight
years and, based upon our prior experience, it will no longer be capable of handling the demands of the
campuses. We expect that it may also not be capable of supporting the newest operating system.
B. Analysis. The upgrade path for the current production server is a machine with faster processors than our current
unit. The database that we use with the Datatel software has limited multi-thread processing, but it will
accommodate multiple processors. While it is possible that this software will be rewritten before 2008-09 or we
will have converted to a different database, multi-thread processing has proven effective and is the viable route
for Antioch. Therefore, faster processing speed is essential in order to maintain satisfactory support for campus
users.
C. Proposed Action. We recommend that a higher speed server be acquired during 2008-09 to replace the existing
production server acquired in 2003-04, and that the production server replace the development server. It may
also be necessary to replace the disk drives with higher-capacity, faster units unless they have already been
replaced. Faster disk drive access times may be required to take advantage of the faster processing speed of
the new server. It may also be necessary to increase the capacity of the disk drives to handle the increased
volume of data that will accompany new, web-based applications.
A. Priority 2: Upgrade Desktop & Laptop Computers. The University Administration depends on its desktop
computers for the production of documents and as our interface with the Datatel system. In addition, these
