Preliminary Findings Master Plan Facility Utilization, and Space Needs Analysis April 14-15, 2004
Agenda • Process/Methodology • Classroom and Laboratory Utilization • Preliminary Space Needs Analysis
Process • Collection of Data • Room-by-Room Facilities Inventory Field Verification • Fall 2003 Course Data • Fall 2003 Staffing Information • Enrollment and Staffing Projections
Process • Worksessions with campus constituents • Discussed future programs and growth • Toured facilities and specialized spaces • Analysis of Space Needs for Base and Target Year • Classroom and Teaching Laboratory Utilization Study • Classroom Benchmarking
Major Types Of Methods • Guideline application by space type • Square feet per FTE student or faculty • Peer/aspiration institution comparison • Benchmarking
Guideline Tools • University Space Planning by Bareither & Schillinger (1968) • WICHE Higher Education Facilities Planning and Management Manuals by Dahnke, Jones, Mason, and Romney (1971) • CEFPI Space Planning for Institutions of Higher Education (1985)
Guideline Tools cont. • ACRL – Association of College & Research Libraries • ACUI - Association of College Unions International • Benchmarking • Science labs • Art labs • Specialized spaces
Detailed space needs analysis Pure guideline application Guideline with judgments and adjustments Range of GuidelineApplication Uses
Planning Definitions • ASF = Assignable Square Footage (usable space assigned to a program that is measured from inside wall to inside wall) • Space Categories – defined according to Room Use Code designation and departmental assignment • Room Use Codes – defined according to NCES Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual
Classroom & Lab Utilization • Measures of utilization • Weekly room hours of use • Student station occupancy
Utilization Components • Weekly room use hours (The number of hours per week a room is in use) • Some guidelines are based on 45-hour week (9 hours per day, 5 days per week), others on 70-80 hour week, others on all hours • Classroom guidelines are generally between 22-40 hours per week • Laboratory guidelines are between 11-24 hours per week depending on the type of lab
Utilization Components • Student station occupancy percentage(The average percentage of seats occupied during any given hour) • Classroom use targets are between 60% to 70% • Laboratory use targets are about 70% to 80%
Enrollment Projections Staff and Faculty growth mirror student enrollment projections and desired student/faculty ratio Includes approved faculty positions
Library Guideline Existing Cobb Library: 22,900 ASF New Library: 37,784 ASF
Space Needs Analysis Academic Space • Classroom space in relative balance – station size • Largest deficit in teaching labs • Research (capstone and faculty) • Deficit in quantity of office and support space
Space Needs Analysis Academic Support Space Library deficit base year - surplus at target year Recreation deficit Assembly and Exhibit deficit Does not include Chapel Does include Dendy-McNair
Space Needs Analysis Auxiliary & Other Space • Athletics' offices • Student Union and Health Care in relative balance
Space Needs Analysis Campuswide Total Space • Most critical: • Teaching Laboratories • Academic Offices/Administration Office Quality • Assembly & Exhibit • P.E./Recreation/Athletics • Classroom Size Distribution
Space Needs Analysis Continuing Education Center • Includes programs of Special Programs Division such as LDI, ESL, Senior College, PEL, Elderhostel, and ASPEC • Additional Space required for Administrative Offices
Space Needs AnalysisOutcomes • Deficit in science laboratories and research • Integrated administrative functions • Bring together Collegia • General lack of office support space • Qualitative and quantitative space issues relative to fine and performing arts • Qualitative space and size issues related to classrooms
Space Needs & Master Plan Development • Use guideline ASF for migration scenarios • Keep in mind distribution of ASF by functional space type • Program adjacency as important as space needs • Use master plan analysis as stepping stone to feasibility studies • Remember this is master plan level analysis
