  1. Educational Master Plan Manchester Community College Classroom and Laboratory Utilization Analysis

  2. Objectives • Document Existing Space Utilization • Understand Course Scheduling (Credit and Non-credit) • Develop Utilization Guidelines for Facilities Planning • Portray Optimum Space Needs by Functional Area at Base Year and Target Enrollment • Determine Gap between Existing and Projected Needs to Initiate Development of Physical Response to the Planning Objectives

  3. Data Collection Effort for this Analysis • Facilities Inventory • Identify Classrooms and Teaching Laboratories • Identify Space Categories (dept/unit) • Identified Space Room Use Codes Defined per NCES Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, 2006 • Verified Student Stations (seats/chairs) • On-Site Field Verification of Rooms • Course Data for Fall 2010 • Staffing Data • Fall 2010 Headcount and FTE

  4. Existing Space Distribution ASF is defined as Assignable Square Feet (Usable space assigned to a program, measured inside wall to inside wall, excludes public restrooms, elevators, stairs, main circulation paths, mechanical rooms, wall structures. Estimated at 61 ASF per FTE GSF is defined as Gross Square Feet (All space within a building’s footprint including the areas excluded in ASF listed above. Estimated at 102 GSF per FTE

  5. MCC Classroom Use (exc. Great Path) Day of Week and Time of Day – Credit and Non-Credit

  6. MCC Classroom Use - Great Path Day of Week and Time of Day – Credit and Non-Credit

  7. Utilization Definitions • Why Utilization? • Scheduled classroom use by day and time of day • Analyzed on a room-by-room basis • Review of academic resources and efficiencies • Course Scheduling matrix and peak demand • Used to generate Space Needs Analysis • Average ASF per Student Station • Weekly Room Hours • Hours per week the room is scheduled • Length of time a course meets times the number of days course is offered during the week • Analyzed on a weekly basis per semester • Student Station Occupancy • Percentage of student seats filled during scheduled use • 80% occupancy is a common classroom guideline • Occupancy typically averages from 60% to 75% • Avg enrollment of course taught in a room • When room is used, how many seats are filled

  12. Teaching Laboratory UtilizationGreat Path Academy

  13. State Utilization GuidelinesClassrooms and Labs Classrooms • The most widely used (accepted) Guideline for • classroom use is 38 - 42 weekly room hours • Occupancy % is typically based on 67 to 75% • Based on scheduled use for courses • Based on full daytime usage • (old guidelines tend to use daytime hours only) Laboratory • The most widely used (accepted) Guideline for laboratories is 26 - 30 weekly room hours • Occupancy % is typically based on 72 to 85%+ • Based on scheduled use for courses • Based on full daytime usage • (old guidelines tend to use daytime hours only)

  14. Conclusions • MCC overall exceeds the guidelines established for Classroom and Laboratory space utilization • Lack of facilities will limit the future enrollment growth • New identified programs may have space implications • Peak demand times are pushing the physical facilities • Opportunities exist for more scheduled use on Fri. & Sat. • Potential opportunities for more early morning sessions • Great Path Academy spaces have capacity for some growth (need to analyze further) • Identification and the effect of new programs on space needs

  15. Closing and Wrap-Up

  16. Process - Educational Planning to Space Planning • Curriculum/Programs • Undergraduate • Technical Programs • Continuing Education Student Enrollment Headcount FTE Space Needs Analysis Faculty Staff • Academic Areas • - Academic Support • - Library • Athletics • Faculty Development • Administrative • Facilities/ Budgeting • -Student Services • -Security Auxiliary - Residence Life - Student Center - Conference Center

  17. Educational Master Plan Areas for Campus Response • 1) New Programs • New or Emerging Programs • Discontinued Programs • High Demand Areas in existing programs • 2) Enrollment • FTE to Headcount Ratio • Distance Education Goals • Recruitment Strategies (Non-trads, At-risk) 3) Staffing • Student to Faculty Ratio Changes • Full-time to Part Time Faculty Ratio Changes 4) Other • Physical Expansion into new locations • Changes in Student Service model • Partnerships that impact campus operations • Developmental Education • Integrated Core Curriculum
