Formation of a Facilities Planning Committee, including community members and College representatives, to review focus areas in earlier planning efforts.

From this process, three major projects were identified to accommodate community partnerships, student learning environments, workforce preparation and the College’s technological and physical infrastructure. 

Charge of Committee

To help the College plan for the future, the Facilities Planning Committee is charged to:

  • Consider the educational needs of all students and align recommendations with the College’s mission, vision and goals;

  • Represent the entire College’s community, values and perceptions, and seek input from other residents; and

  • Prioritize potential projects, including new construction, renovations/additions, technology, equipment and other areas that may arise from community input; and

  • Consider the College’s current financial position and funding methods to develop a facilities plan recommendation that is fiscally sound.
