Increasing Enrollment, Expanding Campus NCNM is committed to grow its campus within South Portland
South Portland Campus Background • 1996—NCNM relocates to South Portland’s Failing School, vacated by PCC in 1995 • Zoned high-density residential—permitted for colleges for Conditional Use; the City has no record of a Conditional Use • Five subsequent campus properties located in zones permitted for colleges • Split zoning of contiguous properties • Type III Conditional Use approval: Legalize current campus, and establish a “base case”
Type III Conditional Use: Establishing a Base Case • Approve use of existing buildings on campus • Establish boundary to encompass entire campus—present and future • Legalize use of current facilities and new additions • Undertake traffic and parking studies—complex transportation issues
Transportation Considerations • Located south of downtown Portland on Naito and west of the Ross Island Bridge • 2009—2010 Academic Year • 517 students • 113 full-time and adjunct faculty • 127 full- and part-time staff • 35,000 outpatient visits to the NCNM Clinic
