State of the University John F. Carney III January 26, 2011
Freshmen DemographicsIncoming Class of 2010 • 1,170 new first-time freshmen • 388 new transfer students • 32 states represented • 9 foreign countries represented • Average ACT is 27.7 • Upper 10% in nation • 5 perfect scores on the ACT or SAT tests
Freshman DemographicsIncoming Class of 2010 • 76% men • 24% women • 11% minority students • 80% Missouri residents • 27% first-generation college students • 18 years old is the average age
Career Opportunities for Students • In 2010, over 550 different employers (over 2,000 visits) recruited at S&T for full-time, co-op, and intern positions • 42 states • 3 international locations • 57% were from outside Missouri • 51% increase in the number of employer recruiting events in Fall 2010 over Fall 2009 • In Fall 2010, S&T Career Opportunities and Employer Relations has serviced over 3,100 students (48% of our on-campus enrollment)
Background • Missouri S&T proposed debt financing for two major projects on campus last fall • Geothermal Energy Project • $32.4 million • New Construction and Renovation of Schrenk Hall • Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry • $51.2 million • Debt financing would take advantage of the low-interest rates
Geothermal Energy Project • This project will use ground source heat pump chillers to provide heating requirements for the campus to replace the current boilers in the Power Plant (installed in 1958, 1963 and 1981). Investment in this project will initially yield approximately $1.4 million in annual energy/operational savings, growing to $2.8 million. In addition, this project will address $26.4 million in deferred maintenance needs identified.
Geothermal Energy Project • Debt service will be supported from energy and operational cost savings. At the completion of the project, the Power Plant coal and wood fuel steam boilers will be decommissioned. The project will result in reducing the production of over 25,000 tons of CO2 gases per year, a 60% reduction in the campus carbon footprint.
Schrenk HallBiological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry • Built in 1938 and 1973 • 141,854 GSF Schrenk Hall is in terrible condition.
Construction Project Opportunity205,354 Gross Square Feet • $51M project • $43M in bonds • $8M to be raised from private sources for new building
Construction Project Opportunity205,354 Gross Square Feet • New Construction $22 M • Chemical and Biological Engineering • 63,500 GSF • Rehabilitation $29 M • Schrenk Hall East • 58,960 GSF • Schrenk Hall West • 82,894 GSF
Net Assignable Square Footage *classrooms, prep rooms, storage, etc.
Biological Sciences, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry Project • Debt service would be around $2.6M • Additional majors in 3 departments • Facility fee • Increased sponsored research activity • This project would impact positively approximately 3,000 S&T students annually, including 600 students majoring in these three disciplines • In addition, completion of this project would address $15 million in identified deferred maintenance needs
