Recognizing an opportunity for the space study to coordinated with the <br /> annual capital investment planning process, and recognizing that site approval of the Southern <br /> campus property will provide an additional need for space planning for the next ten to twenty <br /> year period, AMS staff proposed the establishment of a Space Study Work Group to include key <br /> County staff members and two Board members. The Board approved the formation of this <br /> group in June 2014. <br />
