EXISTING AND APPROVED DEVELOPMENT

The following text describes existing programs and facilities that have not yet been completed but whose construction has been approved under the 1978 LRDP. [17] All development is described in terms of assignable square feet (ASF). [18] The major buildings described in the text appear in Figure 8. The buildings at UC Santa Cruz are not easily described in terms of single programs. Because of the residential college system and the multidisciplinary academic divisions, individual buildings serve many programs, as outlined below.

NATURAL SCIENCES 294,050 ASF

The Natural Sciences Division includes several boards and committees (Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Engineering, Computer and Information Sciences, Earth Sciences, Marine Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics) four Organized Research Units (the Institute for Marine Sciences, the Institute of Non-linear Science, the Institute of Tectonics, and the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics), and a Multi-campus Research Unit (Lick Observatory). These activities utilize instruction and research space [19] (including laboratories); Natural Sciences administration space (offices and conference rooms); and vivaria (greenhouses, animal quarters, and the Arboretum). These programs occupy space in the Applied Sciences building (90,976 ASF), Natural Sciences 2 (50,595 ASF), and Thimann Laboratories (51,310 ASF). Natural Sciences 3 (60,196 ASF) is currently under construction and is expected to be occupied by summer 1989. The remaining 40,973 ASF is scattered throughout small buildings in the colleges and in temporary trailer facilities. The three major science buildings also accommodate other campus functions described elsewhere in this section. All of the natural sciences facilities are located in the central developed campus.

UTILITIES

The City of Santa Cruz provides water supply and wastewater disposal facilities to the campus. The current system of water reservoirs serving the campus can supply adequate pressure to services at elevations of 900 feet or less.

Energy utilities are provided by Pacific Gas and Electric. The campus has recently installed a gas-fired cogeneration system which made it possible to generate approximately 80 percent of its 1987-88 electrical needs.
