2.3 stewardship<br />

Stewardship is the sensible and responsible management of resources,<br />

including not only the living landscape but also the many buildings that<br />

comprise the campus.<br />

It is the intent of these guidelines to encourage responsible stewardship of<br />

all existing buildings. Each renovation project, therefore, should include an<br />

investigation of all aspects, systems and features impacted by the specific<br />

intervention. Conditions discovered during project evaluation, design or<br />

construction that are in need of improvement cannot be ignored.<br />

Even in cases where budgetary or schedule constraints necessitate only<br />

a partial remediation, any building deficiencies brought to light are to be<br />

examined and documented so that they may be addressed at a future time.<br />

Additional renovation projects must be estimated and funded to include<br />

remediation of critical code violations.<br />

All new design projects should be adaptive and flexible for future growth of<br />

the campus. Where possible, expansion opportunities should be part of the<br />

original design planning so that growth of the building footprint is orderly.<br />

All new construction should be adaptable in design such that changing<br />

programs and users are easily accommodated with renovations.<br />

Standardize building materials and systems wherever possible to promote<br />

and take advantage of uniformity with regard to material/system technical<br />

knowledge, replacement cycles, replacement techniques, tools required,<br />

materials required, materials availability, etc. Include consideration for the<br />

available level of grounds maintenance and snow removal for all exterior<br />

features.<br />

Exemplary planning, design and development is an obligation in response<br />

to the resources provided. <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong>, one of the <strong>South</strong><br />

<strong>Dakota</strong> Board of Regents institutions, is accountable to students, faculty<br />

and staff as well as to the people of <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> to make good decisions<br />

about campus facilities. Deliberate consideration must be given to design<br />

campus buildings and spaces considering lifecycle costs, not only the initial<br />

construction costs. Careful analysis and decision-making are required to<br />

ensure that the university receives the greatest possible value in relation to<br />

the funds expended.<br />
