South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –December 3, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br /> <br />(1) continued… <br /> <br />staff. The Commissioners were provided <br />bios of many of the staff there. BSA’s work <br />is significant. They have done massive land <br />planning, medical, university, and technology <br />campus development, specifically, the <br />Stinson Remick Hall at Notre Dame and the <br />Indiana University Medical School building. <br />In the case of the IU Med School building, <br />Notre Dame required the use of its design <br />materials, though IU has half the budget of <br />Notre Dame. BSA accomplished that <br />building within IU’s budget. The University <br />of Notre Dame architectural staff couldn’t <br />praise BSA enough. <br /> <br />BSA has done very technical buildings for <br />medical facilities, education, research and <br />they’ve done incubator and accelerator <br />buildings. At some point we may need to <br />have that at Ignition Park. BSA has not only <br />worked for the end user, they have done <br />work for developers and for redevelopment <br />commissions. Staff recommends <br />Commission approval of the $65,500 <br />proposal for BSA Life Structures for the land <br />and master planning as outlined. <br /> <br />Ms. King asked about the wisdom of doing <br />the master planning before the business plan <br />is complete. Ms. Hathaway responded that <br />we really have to understand what the land <br />will accommodate before we can do a <br />business plan. The land planning looks into <br />zoning, traffic patterns, soil conditions and <br />then how can we use this land effectively. <br />Ms. Hathaway noted that BSA’s fee was <br /> 24 <br /> <br />
