During the next Board of Regents meeting on Feb. 22 and 23, Iowa State will propose its intentions to make numerous property and program changes.

Iowa State’s first proposal will be to purchase the Tennis Performance Center that was finished in December. The Bruce McKee Indoor Tennis Complex was an initiated build after a donation of $500,000 and a $2 million investment by the university.

After leasing the property since being finished, the university will propose plans to purchase the acre of land for $2.7 million during the regents’ meeting next week.

Another proposal Iowa State will make is to cancel its Community College Policy Center and Information Infrastructure Institute.

The Community College Policy Center has previously lost several professors and staff members due to retirement and can continue to perform without operating at a formal capacity, according to the Ames Tribune.

The Information Infrastructure Institute, which has run out of seed funding, is believed by the university to have completed its intended goals. The cancellations will not see any staff layoffs.

The third proposal to the board is in regard to an improvement project to Iowa State’s Reiman Gardens. The $3.4 million additions that are being funded by a private donation will include a series of rock walls, water pools and plants for the southwest corner of the garden.

Finally, Franklin Park, which has been leased by the university since 1960, needs initial approval to be sold to the city of Ames. Last month, the city indicated that the purchase of the park, located two miles southwest of Campustown, would be for about $166,000.
