Outdoor learning spaces are a big priority among students and staff. At the time of deliberations, the working group was aware that the Grant Committee was working diligently on a proposal that would provide some outdoor instructional space. In the interest of allowing the Grant Committee full discretion on this initiative, and in the interest of ensuring other priorities are addressed, the working group decided to leave this item off the list of recommendations at this time. The working group noted that if risk reserves from other approved projects can be released as the projects are completed, funds may become available to consider options in this area in the near future.
