  3. Schedule

  4. Campus • 5 min Simcoe Street Conlin Street

  5. Durham College • Key Stakeholder Issues • Preliminary Space Needs

  6. DC Key Stakeholder Issues • Enrollment Growth • Durham College projected to grow at 3% per year – 15% over 5 years • Greatest impediment to growth is lack of space • Academic Programs • Potential Hospitality and Tourism program • Increased training to address the skilled trades shortages • Durham Regional Police satellite station • New energy programs at Whitby campus (energy incubator) • Potential new Fine Arts/Media and Health Sciences programs • Major Facility Needs • Relocate shared service areas from A, B, C and D wings into a new 'one-stop shopping' student services building • Decommission portables and reclaim shared service areas in A, B, C and D wings with teaching and learning spaces • Cluster programs by school in the Willey building to reinforce school identity • Introduce new Hospitality and Tourism facility • Create a joint Health Sciences building in A4 with UOIT • Potential Media, Arts and Design Centre

  7. DC Key Stakeholder Issues • Quality of Space and Student Life Environment • Enhance the quality of instructional space • Improve the quality and quantity of study spaces, including quiet study areas • Improve quality and quantity of office and conference spaces for full and part time faculty • Need for informal meeting spaces for faculty, staff and students to create a sense of community • Constrained dining facilities need to be addressed

  8. Instructional Space Analysis • Purpose • Project current and future space needs for each institution • Methodology • Interviews with UOIT and DC stakeholders • Council of Educational Facility Planners International space planning guidelines • Initial analysis of instructional space with subsequent examination of all space types Assumptions • Weekly student contact hours (WSCH) generated from the Fall 2008 Course Schedules for UOIT and DC • Fall 2008 enrollment figures and instructional space inventory supplied by UOIT and DC • In the absence of registration data for Trent students, course enrollments were assumed to be 65 percent of room capacity • Full space inventory for DC currently being developed

  9. Preliminary Space Needs • Durham College – Distribution of Classroom Student Contact Hours • Sections sizes of 26 – 50 students account for 73 percent of classroom instruction

  10. Preliminary Space Needs • Durham College - Classroom Utilization • 78 • 78 • 74 • Target - 70 • 67 • 51

  11. Preliminary Space Needs • Durham College - Classroom Occupancy • Target - 70 • 68 • 63 • 50 • 50 • 34

  12. Preliminary Space Needs • Durham College – Laboratory Utilization • 'Other' includes unassigned DC laboratories (computer labs) and 2 UOIT labs • 55 • 50 • 45 • 38 • Target - 35

  13. Preliminary Space Needs • Durham College – Laboratory Occupancy • 'Other' includes unassigned DC laboratories (computer labs) and 2 UOIT labs • 94 • 78 • 73 • Target - 70 • 70

  14. Preliminary Space Needs Summary • Durham College Summary • The majority of classroom contact hours are generated in small to mid-sized rooms • Very high level of classroom utilization confirms little scheduling flexibility in existing classroom supply • Low levels of occupancy in large classrooms indicate additional capacity may be available if section sizes can be increased • Laboratory utilization and occupancy are well above target and suggest possible overuse of room

  15. Questions and Discussion

  16. UOIT • Key Stakeholder Issues • Preliminary Space Needs

  17. UOIT Key Stakeholder Issues • Research at UOIT • Insufficient research space • Goal to grow graduate enrollment with focus in sciences, engineering and energy • Opportunity for partnerships with industry: • Automotive • Energy • IT • Health • Potential to develop high tech research park on North Campus • Immediate plans for Cyber Crime Center, possibly on North Campus

  18. UOIT Key Stakeholder Issues • Enrollment Growth • Expected growth in CJPS, Communications and Business undergraduate and graduate programs • Shortage of space is a constraint to growth • Academic Programs • Goal to deliver market-oriented programs to meet GTA higher education needs • Potential Health Sciences program with link to Queens • Business and IT as separate Faculties • Major Facility Priorities • Development of Downtown Campus with CJPS, Business and Communications programs • Decommission UL and U5 • Build A4 for Energy and Nuclear Science • Build A5 for Health Sciences • Additional office and classroom space • 'One-stop shopping' student services building

  19. Preliminary Space Needs • UOIT – Distribution of Classroom Student Contact Hours • Section sizes of 26 to 50 students and 150+ students account for 50 % of classroom instruction

  20. Preliminary Space Needs • UOIT - Classroom Utilization • 87 • 86 • 84 • 81 • 78 • Target - 70 • 71 • 68 • 68 • 60 • 55

  21. Preliminary Space Needs • UOIT - Classroom Occupancy • Target - 70 • 58 • 54 • 58 • 52 • 51 • 48 • 53 • 50 • 44 • 38

  24. Preliminary Space Needs Summary • UOIT • High levels of classroom utilization in both the daytime and evening • Mismatch between classroom and section sizes accounts for low levels of occupancy • Low levels of occupancy suggest opportunities to better align classes with room sizes • Potential to accommodate enrollment growth in labs given low levels of utilization and occupancy
