Inadequate Office Space: needs to be close to exits, peep hole needed in door, move to 1^st floor closer to the lab. Judge Screnock stated that Ian will be planning and working with the architect and these issues should be addressed in 2020. Miller is concerned if we wait a year, it will be placed on the back burner. Warwick stated she has secured grant dollars to install ceiling cameras for the JDS doorways to address staff safety concerns and allow visualization of those seeking entry on staff computers. Miller wants this placed on a priority for movement.  Kriegl stated that Building Services does not interact with the public and could be moved to the basement.
