Quick summary meeting highlights e-mailed to user group:

NEW SITE PLAN DRAWING
Users endorsed the overall concept, with these comments and suggestions:
- It might be wise to flatten the planes to provide clearer view across the entire space, leave fewer hiding places, etc.
- It needs to be skateboard and stunt bike unfriendly, which in its current version might be quite a problem.
- Safety and security issues with regard to the grade level skylights need to be carefully worked out.
- It needs to evolve to reflect the need for access by fire trucks.

BASEMENT FLOOR PLAN
Users are now quite comfortable with most aspects of the basement layout, recognizing that:
- It is now time to lay out equipment within each space, and adjustments are likely to result.
- There are still many concerns about the area at and near the main entrance stair. It was agreed to relocate the three adjacent offices to provide a clear view from the bottom of the stair into ONAMI, and to provide a design of the stair that provides a crane access for large pieces of scientific equipment.

BASEMENT CEILING PLAN CONCEPT
Users were introducted to the concept of relatively few ceilings, with the structure sloped in some areas are fairly high overhead clearance.
- The grade/basement clearance is least at the south east corner, where there is also equipment with relatively high overhead clearance requirements. This can be mitigated by putting a paved plaza over this area or by moving the critical-height equipment farther to the west, perhaps near the XRD area.
- The ceilings are all shown at 10' above floor. It was suggested that relaxing this to 9' only in the area west of the main corridor might allow the floor to be raised one foot, with major savings in rock excavation.
- Many of the ceilings are in adjacent equipment rooms. It was suggested that the ceiling should be continuous over the partitions to allow for future flexibility without having to work partitions around ducts and pipes.
