  18. The District’s Facility Planning and Approval Process • Observations: • Very sophisticated planning process developed in 2003 • Learner-Centered Curriculum Framework • Structure: • College/Campus Academic Planning Council • College/Campus Strategic Planning Committee • District Strategic Planning Executive Committee • Board of Trustees • Focus on planning that would help shape the emerging colleges • Capital facility planning driven by availability of State funds based on: • Space Standards • Load Ratios

  19. The District’s Facility Planning and Approval Process Conclusions: • Utilize well designed and thought out planning process • Develop Long Range Capital Plan that reflects facility needs driven by campus/college academic and growth plans considering maximum enrollment and campus/college build out • Develop standardized policies and procedures • Standard RFQ and/or RFP to secure professional services • Standard contracts for services • Standard bidding practices as required • Standard Infrastructure and Design Elements • Design Standards • Landscape Design Standards • Life Safety and Security Standards • Building Infrastructure and Sustainability Standards

  20. The District’s Facility Planning and Approval Process • Recommendations: • 1. Utilize Existing Planning Process • 2. Continue to develop campus/college academic and growth plans considering potential ultimate build out • 3.Utilize academic and growth plans to develop a District Strategic Long Range Capital Plan

  21. The District’s Facility Planning and Approval ProcessRecommendations: Continued • 3. Utilize academic and growth plans to develop a District Strategic Long Range Capital Plan • 3a. District long range plan driven by priorities to meet college/campus academic and growth plans and to develop funding strategies to leverage state funds to maximize impact of Measure C funds • 3b. What will each of the campuses/colleges look like when fully developed? • How many students? • What kind and types of programs? • What facilities will need to be developed? • How to manage the physical development of the colleges/campuses to accommodate maximum enrollment • 3c. Plans to include: potential building sites, building set backs, amount of building space developed per acre developed, pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow, and architectural and landscape principles of design • Plans should include comprehensive review of existing facilities to determine need for rehabilitation, renovation, and removal

  22. The District’s Facility Planning and Approval ProcessRecommendations Continued: • 4.

  24. Long Range Planning Outcomes: • Program Definition/Data Collection • Review of existing program documents, data and other applicable sources • Refine that program information into an educational plan • Examine the potential for maximum campus/college enrollment within the context of available buildable space. • The educational plan information and growth capacity information is used to determine the type and amount of building space that would be needed as the campus/college matures to final build out. • The information will translate into: • Space requirements, • Land use, • Adjacencies, • Capacity/massing, • Circulation, • Infrastructure and utility requirements.

  25.
