More daycare spots will have to be in frame of A NEW PRIVATE daycare (separate administration) 80 children will be most viable size Requiring approx. 10 educators, extra hours covered by work-study students approx. 6000 sq feet approx. $1,400,000 CAD running costs per year ($17,000 CAD/child/year) For fundraising Jacomo wants to pitch to the bicentennial campaign a) Level of certainty, have a plan b) Amount of money to be raised (endowment for operational costs?)
Space Women s and Ross Pavilions at Royal Vic University Hall and Rexford Hall Renovations of existing CPE plus extension to Peel street buildings up and down the road (1-2) most tangible To be done: Space fitting exercise (will 80 additional children fit in buildings) (Ipek, $3,000 CAD) Need s assessment, McGill Business Consulting Group (MBCG) (Graeme, $4,340 CAD)
MBCG Needs Assessment Revenue & Cost Model: We will create a comprehensive revenue and cost model for the intitial project, with a "sensitivity analysis" to assess high-end and low-end assumptions in terms of potential costs and revenues. Funding Research: We will research possible funding options based on the needs indicated in the Revenue & Cost model for the initial project. Background Research: We will assess previous work that has been done, such as the work commissioned by PGSS, and get an in-depth understanding of all of the issues facing day care at McGill. I know we've discussed many of them together, but to make a strong argument for future funding, we want to ensure we have a full picture of the issues. Qualitative Research: We will interview professors and staff at McGill and select other universities. This will allow us to get a better sense of the issues as they relate to potential recruitment candidates. It will also add a personal element to the case for future funding Academic Research: We will conduct an overview of any academic research or literature that has been done on the topic Benchmarking Research: We will benchmark the services offered at institutions and compare them to McGill Written Report: We will provide you with a written report of our findings and give recommendations. Powerpoint Presentation: We will prepare a Powerpoint deck that you may be able to use in future presentations to McGill executive bodies in the request for future funding.
