Board of Governors - APPENDIX II - January 25, 2001
FOR INFORMATION
The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry is embarking on an expanded focus on Ecosystem Health within the medical curriculum. This is the next step in the Faculty's patient-centred learning curriculum that encourages students to focus on patients and their environment. This program also strengthens the Faculty's position as an innovator and leader among medical schools.
The goal of Ecosystem Health is to train physicians to consider a patient's physical, social, economic and political environment while assessing, diagnosing and treating illness. The Ecosystem Health concept purports that a wider view of health as an integrated discipline must become the foundation of medical practice if we are to achieve sustainable human health in the context of global sustainable development.
This approach examines what is happening to us as a society that contributes to a disease, why a particular patient has this disease and how it affects each unique patient. The Ecosystem Health approach also asks physicians to consider how others can be prevented from having the same disease.
While several other leading medical schools have introduced courses in Ecosystem Health, Western is the only university in the world to adopt the concept of Ecosystem Health for full integration into its medical curriculum. The program has assumed the administrative functions of the International Society of Ecosystem Health and is planning to host an international course in the spring of 2001.
On behalf of the Board of Governors, the Property & Finance Committee has approved the establishment of the following Chair, Professorship and Post-Doctoral Fellowship in support of the Ecosystem Health program in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry:
The Beryl Ivey Chair in Ecosystem Health, detailed in Annex 1, has been established in perpetuity based on generous gifts for endowment from Dr. Beryl Ivey and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation. In addition to the gifts from Dr. Beryl Ivey and the McConnell Foundation, a bequest has also been established which, when realized, will bring the total endowment for the Chair to $2.5 million.
The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation Professor in Ecosystem Health, detailed in Annex 2, has been established for a five-year term based on an expendable gift from The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.
The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Ecosystem Health, detailed in Annex 3, has been established for a five-year term based on an expendable gift from The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.
The Property & Finance Committee has approved the award of the consultant contract for the Advanced Technology Centre Project to the design team led by Malhotra Nicholson Architects. The commission will include the development of a concept and siting plan and design services for the project. The ATC Building is part of the SuperBuild program at Western.
As part of the SuperBuild program the Board of Governors approved the Advanced Technology Centre Building at a total project cost of approximately $20 million.
The members of the Project Planning Committee, after careful review and consideration of 15 Expressions of Interest, recommended that the Design Team led by Malhotra Nicholson be retained to complete the design. The selection was based on many criteria, including: comparable experience; capability of the Design Team; fees; previous designs; functional programming expertise; ability to work with the Project Planning Committee; approach to cost and schedule control; and experience in University facility design.
It is intended to have the concept design and siting for this project completed as soon as possible. At that time, the project, including concept plan, will be brought forward for approval by the Property & Finance Committee before detailed design is begun.
Members of the Design Team include:
Malhotra Nicholson - Lead architectural firm
Shore Tilbe Irwin - Associate Architect/Programming
Chorley & Bissett - Mechanical and Electrical Engineers
Hastings & Aziz - Structural Engineers
Development Engineering - Civil Engineer
Hanscombe - Cost Consultants
The Property & Finance Committee has approved the renovation of an area of the Siebens-Drake Research Institute to support the ORCDF Protein Identification Program at a cost of $1.178 million.
This project has been established to create unique laboratory space to accommodate research by Professor G. Lajoie who was recently recruited by UWO. The facility will act as the hub for the world class, Ontario wide ORCDF sponsored Protein Identification Project for which Dr. Lajoie is the primary investigator.
The work involves 4,800 square feet of building area to accommodate the research and has been divided into two phases. Phase I: (completed) mass spectrometer laboratory and associated equipment. Phase II: (designed and bid) supporting wet laboratories, dry laboratory and office space.
Funding for the project is anticipated to come from research grants. In the meantime the funding will be "backstopped" by the CFI "war chest"fund ($300K) and the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry. Any over expenditures will be covered by the Faculty. Due to the need to set up the spectrometer to support research this project has begun. The first phase of the work was implemented this past fall and the remaining work will be completed in February/March 2001.
The Property & Finance Committee has approved the award of the consultant contract for the Sarnia Road Residence to the design team led by architects Tillmann•Ruth•Mocellin. The commission will include the development of a concept and siting plan and design services for the project.
In September 2000, the Board of Governors was advised that expressions of interest for the design of the new residence on Sarnia Road were being sought for the 400-bed. Completion will be before September 2003.
The members of the Project Planning Committee, after careful review and consideration of 14 Expressions of Interest, recommended that the Design Team led by architects Tillmann•Ruth•Mocellin be retained to complete the design. The selection was based on many criteria, including: comparable experience; capability of the Design Team; fees; previous designs; ability to work with the Project Planning Committee; approach to cost and schedule control; and experience in University residence design. The design for this project will begin upon approval of the appointment.
It is intended to have the concept design and siting for this project completed as soon as possible. Before detailed design is commenced, the project, including financial model and concept plan, will be brought forward for approval by Property & Finance.
Members of the Consultant Team:
Associate Architect Group: Moffat Kinoshita Associates

For Information
This report outlines the performance of the investment portfolio and the recent activities of the Investment Committee.
Performance
The portfolio returns for each of the past four years were as follows:
| Asset Class | Annual
Sept. 30 2000 |
Annual
Sept. 30 1999 |
Annual
Sept. 30 1998 |

| Return of Median fund | 21.1% | 13.4% | -2.7% | 26.7% |
As indicated above, except for the current year and 1997, the performance of the University's portfolio met or exceeded the performance of the median fund in the Frank Russell universe of approximately 50 Canadian portfolios over the past four years.
Over the five year period ending September 30, 2000, the annualized performance of the portfolio was 14.7%. The Frank Russell universe median return was also 14.7%.
For additional information, please refer to the attached pages which show amounts held by each investment manager at September 30, 2000, the annual and annualized returns by manager over the five years ending September 30, 2000, and the returns in relation to other Canadian balanced portfolios in the Frank Russell universe.
Returns in relation to the objective of a 5% real rate of return
One of the Investment Committee's objectives is to earn a 5% real rate of return over the long term. (i.e. to earn 5% over the rate of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index). Inflation has averaged 1.8% per year for the past five years.
For the five years ending September 30, 2000, the annualized real rate of return for the portfolio was 12.9%, which consisted of a nominal (actual) annualized return of 14.7% less 1.8% for inflation. For the four years ending September 30, 2000, the annualized real rate of return was 12.3%, consisting of a nominal return of 14.2% less inflation of 1.9%. These returns exceed the Investment Committee's performance objective of a real rate of return of 5%.
Value added by Active Management
Another of the Investment Committee's objectives is to earn the return produced by the asset mix policy, based on the returns of the market indices, and a premium to reflect the additional fees related to active management. In order to achieve this objective, investment managers with active investment mandates need to outperform their benchmark indices. For example, Canadian equity managers need to outperform the TSE 300 index over time and Canadian bond managers need to outperform the SCM universe index over time.
Over the five years ending September 30, 2000, the actual returns for the portfolio were 14.7% and the returns generated by the market indices for the portfolio were 15.3% (the policy return). Over this period, the Canadian bond managers have met their benchmark, but the Canadian equity managers have not. Recently, the performance of the Canadian equity portion of the portfolio has improved in relation to the TSE index. For the nine months ending September 30, 2000, the return on the Canadian equity portion of the portfolio exceeded the return on the TSE 300 index by 1.5%.
For some markets, such as US equities, the Committee uses index managers. Over the past five years, this has resulted in first quartile performance for US equities, since the majority of active US managers have been unable to outperform the return of the Standard and Poor 500 stock index.
Book and Market Value of the Portfolio
As at September 30, 2000, the operating and endowment portfolio had a book value of $186,920,000 and a market value of $220,387,000, as follows:
| Book Value
($000's) |

At September 30, 2000, the portfolio consisted of the following components:
Portion related to Endowed funds $103,308,000 46.9%
Portion related to Operating and non-endowed funds 117,079,000 53.1%
Total market value of portfolio $220,387,000 100.0%
Canadian Equity Review
The Investment Committee continues to review alternative structures for the Canadian equity portion of the portfolio. The Committee has set aside the concept of hiring a "manager of managers" as this strategy would delegate a great deal of the supervision of the investment managers to a third party. The Committee will be interviewing investment managers at the next meeting on February 23, 2001, to learn more about the "market orientated" approach, whereby the investment manager invests broadly across all sectors of the TSE 300 index and does not limit investments to those that appear to have strong growth potential or to those that appear to be under valued by the market.
Foundation Western
In November, 1999 the Board of Governors agreed to have an observer from Foundation Western's Investment Committee attend meetings of the University's Investment Committee and similarly, the Board of Foundation Western agreed to have an observer from the University's Investment Committee attend meetings of Foundation Western's Investment Committee. These arrangements were to be reviewed after one year.
These arrangements have improved the sharing of investment information between the two Committees. The Investment Committee is currently working with Foundation Western to strengthen the collaboration between the two Committees and has proposed to Foundation Western that there be two members who serve jointly on both committees with full voting privileges.
We will bring forward any changes to the membership of the Investment Committee when our discussions with Foundation Western have been completed.
