5‐Year Comprehensive Master Plan

II. Instructional Programming As part of the Five‐Year Capital Outlay Plan, each College and University shall provide an overview of current academic programs and major academic initiatives. This “instructional programming” component should:

a. Describe existing academic programs and projected programming changes during the next 5 years, in so far as academic programs are affected by specific structural considerations (i.e., laboratories, classrooms, current and future distance learning initiatives, etc.

Western Michigan University’s strategic planning initiative speaks to our institutional focus of being learner‐centered, discovery driven and globally engaged. As such, our instructional programs are designed to increase students’ capacity for learning and service to society, as well as meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. In planning to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students, WMU’s academic programs will be affected by several structural considerations, most significantly the ability to provide classrooms, laboratories, clinics, and studios equipped with the technology that specialized disciplines and effective learning require. The delivery of academic programs and, more importantly, effective student engagement and learning are directly related to the need for upgrades and improvements in e‐ learning systems, classrooms, studios and laboratories.

Over the next five years, the restructuring of programs and shifts in enrollments are expected across the university. Enrollment growth is expected in the areas of health and human services, engineering, aviation, and business. WMU faculty and students are involved in research projects that impact the community, state, national, and international domains. Sustaining our commitment to the research enterprise will require growth in our research facilities as well. The University has an established presence throughout the state through eight regional locations in Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Traverse City, Muskegon, and Southwest‐Benton Harbor, and the metro‐Detroit area. Extended University Programs offer courses and degree programs delivered online, extending the WMU presence beyond geographic state boundaries. Our regional locations partner with the state’s community colleges to provide access to university baccalaureate and graduate education in business, health and human services and education. In April, 2014, WMU received grant funding and entered into an affiliation with the Osher Foundation in support of the Academy of Lifelong Learning. This led to the establishment of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at WMU. The OLLI provides high quality non‐credit programs for mature adults in the Kalamazoo area. The WMU Center for Gerontology in the College of Health and Human Services partners with OLLI, and provides classroom space for instruction.



The capital project to rebuild Sangren Hall was completed in the summer of 2013 and the building is fully utilized. The new Sangren Hall provides multiple benefits to the university and to its principle occupants, the College of Education and Human Development and the Department of Sociology, part of the College of Arts and Sciences. Sangren Hall is one of the most heavily‐used classroom buildings on campus, and is a key location for first‐year programs and retention initiatives. Renewal of this significant classroom stock plus state‐of‐the‐art upgrades to instructional technology enables WMU to provide classroom environments that facilitate students’ learning well into the future. This facility supports graduate programs, research, and houses the enhanced practicing/training clinics, the Dorothy J. McGinnis Reading Center and Clinic, and the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services.

In October, 2013, the university held a dedication ceremony for the Charles C.

and Lynn L. Zhang Legacy Collection Center. A valuable campus, community, and state resource, the University Archives and Regional History Collection, had been primarily housed for the past twenty years in the one‐hundred‐year‐old East Hall. In September 2013, the collections were moved to their new home in the Charles C. and Lynn L. Zhang Legacy Collections Center, a 16,000‐square‐foot, $8.3 million facility on WMU’s Oakland Drive Campus. The facility was built with private funding including several significant gifts. The building houses more than 28,000 cubic feet of the WMU Archives and Regional History Collections, overflow books and serials from the University Libraries, and the complete archives of the Kalamazoo Gazette.

A recent donation made expansion of the Lee Honors College possible. The expansion added classrooms to the existing building, and enhanced the study lounge. Construction on this project was completed in the summer of 2012. The expanded space is being utilized for classes and seminars.

Even with the successful completion of the Sangren Hall project, the expansion of the Lee Honors College, and the completion of the the Zhang Legacy Collections Center, the university has a number of academic program facility needs. Laboratories require periodic improvements and additions to accommodate new programs in engineering and aviation. Examples are an engineering facility to allow relocation of the wind tunnel from the Kalamazoo‐Battle Creek airport property to the Parkview Campus, and additional aviation facilities to accommodate flight simulators, and renovation of on‐campus facilities to accommodate increased demand for dance courses with additional studio space.



During the 2014/15 year, Academic Program Review and Planning (APR&P) was

undertaken to provide a comprehensive review of the institutional academic portfolio of 464 programs. Outcomes of discussions with academic departments and the Faculty Senate will help to determine the best practices for continuing program offerings and best methods of pedagogical delivery. This will include discussion of facilities and modalities for instructional purposes.

WMU is in second‐year of a planned three‐year review and revision of the General

Education program and curriculum. The results from the APR&P will, in part, inform this process. Implementation of changes are planned for the third‐year of the reform project in the 2016/17 academic year. Both the APR&P and General Education initiatives will impact the “place‐bound” classroom and will address issues related to capacity both in programs and in physical classroom settings.

Expanding programs in the following areas will require continued enhancement and support:

Audiology and Speech Pathology Aviation Science Biological Sciences Blindness and Low Vision Studies Civil and Construction Engineering Computer Information Systems Dietetics Family Sciences Industrial and Entrepreneurial Engineering Nursing Occupational Therapy Physician Assistant

A new Integrated Library System was implemented in the summer of 2015, allowing for the search of university holding to be handled more efficiently and effectively.

Replacements for legacy software systems will be vetted and implemented in

the 2015/16 academic year. The Instructor and Course Evaluation System (ICES) evaluation instrument for all instructors is expected to be replaced with a new evaluation instrument that will, most likely, be a new software tool. The University email system, Zimbra/WebMail, will be replaced by June 30, 2016. Committees are currently working to evaluate, review, and recommend the replacement software tools. Both systems will require extensive preparation for implementation, training and roll‐out to the University community.



b. Identify the unique characteristics of each institution’s academic mission. For Universities: Major research institution, technical/vocational center, geographic service delivery area(s), community presence activities, etc.

Western Michigan University is one of five major research institutions in the state. In 2005 the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching placed WMU among the 76 public institutions in the nation designated as research universities with high research activity. WMU has been included in the U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of American colleges and universities as one of the nation’s top‐100 public universities for 24 consecutive years, and has placed in the top tier for the last five years.

Undergraduate students at WMU may choose from 251 distinct degree programs, with 147 bachelor’s program offerings. Graduate students may select from among 73 masters, one specialist, and 30 doctoral programs. A number of these at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have attained national recognition. More than 300 registered student organizations and a full array of NCAA Division IA intercollegiate athletic teams enrich the educational experience.

The university’s commitment to the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge and insight has resulted in initiatives that reward faculty and student research, scholarship and creative activity. In a typical year, WMU faculty and staff conduct approximately $25 million in externally funded research on topics ranging from nuclear physics and special education, to developing technology that enables more efficient flight and more environmentally friendly public transportation.

WMU’s campuses encompass more than eight million square feet of university space on 1,200 acres and 151 buildings. The main campus, situated near downtown Kalamazoo, features some of the finest instructional and performance facilities in the Midwest, as well as twelve residence halls equipped to house more than 4,700 students. The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Business Technology and Research Park are located on the Parkview Campus, three miles away from the main campus. The nationally recognized College of Aviation is based at the W. K. Kellogg Airport in nearby Battle Creek. The College of Health and Human Services and Zhang Legacy Collections Center are located on the Oakland Drive Campus.

c. Identify other initiatives which may impact facilities usage.

Initiatives

Extend students’ learning settings/classrooms into their living areas. Several residence halls are serving as sites for an alternative to the traditional separation of classrooms and housing. Learning communities, or residential colleges, are offered in a floor or a wing within living facilities, and include seminar and study rooms that are convenient for residents. Staff serve as tutors and mentors to the student residents.



the student residents. Residential communities, or houses, have been created for special interests such as honors students, science scholars, transfer students, and for students in each of the university’s seven colleges. Research indicates that students who are engaged as members of learning communities and residential colleges are more likely to persist and graduate than those who are not.

Western Heights residence halls opened for the fall 2015 semester. The new 750 bed freshmen‐focused residence hall facilities provide environmentally conscious features, socialization through the purposeful use of public areas, and abundant green space. The design concept incorporates student rooms clustered in “pods” around living rooms and kitchenettes, in order to foster social interaction and a sense of community.

Create multiple methods of learning. The learning environment is suffused with technology: mobile, digital, and interactive. Classrooms and laboratories afford students opportunities to learn through doing. WMU prides itself in the multiple methods of application based learning, through clinics and laboratories. Programs utilizing these methods include Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Engineering, Aviation and Applied Sciences.

Improvements to sports fields. Recreation and athletics facilities are very important to the academic success and retention of students at the university. In 2010, WMU Campus Planning conducted an on‐line survey of the campus community with 60 percent of respondents giving the campus’ recreation facilities top ratings. Maintenance of the outdoor playing fields is a chronic problem due to the heavy use in early fall and late spring. Demand currently exceeds available space on campus, with some recreation and club team participants going off‐campus to compete. Planning is underway to provide additional fields and to upgrade existing facilities. The WMU track facility has been upgraded and is a popular venue for student activities. At the Seelye indoor practice facility, new turf was installed in 2013.

Initiatives expected to launch over the next five‐year period through the Office of Information Technology (OIT) include the following: o Upgrade and refresh classroom technology through a rotating

implementation schedule with the goal of all general university classrooms being equipped with standardized classroom technology, including data projection, document cameras, and the ability to use contemporary media.



Larger classrooms will also have hearing impaired assistive devices as required by ADA regulations.

o Implementation of instructional technology enhancements that include

robust synchronous communication tools in order to enhance instructional content delivery and provide for a more collaborative learning environment.

o Improve systems efficiency and effectiveness through on‐going systems

review including consideration of cloud and software as a service when it can be managed more effectively or efficiently in that fashion. A duplication of system critical operations will be achieved through a comprehensive disaster recovery plan and systems off‐site location. As well as, continues upgrades to hardware and software pertaining to network infrastructure, with the inclusion of secure wireless access across campus, and unified communication technologies.

o Continue to manage enterprise systems, particularly those systems that form the core IT services to students, faculty, staff, and administrative units. These systems manage admissions, financial aid, registration, class and classroom scheduling, academic records, accounts receivables, accounts payables, e‐commerce, general ledger, payroll, human resources, identity management, and other primary services. Future enhancements will focus on incorporating mobile device access to these various systems.

o Monitor information security throughout the university so that private information is secure while enabling staff access to the information necessary to accomplish their jobs, including the addition of layered security. With the access by mobile devices (bring‐your‐own‐device “BYOD”) and cloud services, specific consideration will be required in securing university data for that access. OIT will ensure that all applicable federal, state, and industry security standards are followed.

o Membership and stewardship of the Merit Network, the high speed data network owned in partnership with other Michigan universities.

Renovation and Construction Projects

Western Michigan University Alumni Center:

Construction began in May, 2014 on the renovation for the Western Michigan University Alumni Center in historic East Hall, the first structure constructed on the WMU campus in 1905. The new building was completed in October 2015, in conjunction with the campus Homecoming celebration.



The renovated 43,000 sq. ft. building, renamed Heritage Hall, is a multi‐use facility containing offices, assembly and meeting spaces, for use by alumni, faculty, staff and students.

Grand Rapids Beltline Facility Renovation:

Renovation of the 38,000 square foot Grand Rapids Beltline facility, housing instructional facilities serving a number of graduate level programs, was completed in August, 2015. Scope of work included mechanical and electrical infrastructure replacement, as well as functional upgrades to classrooms, meeting and study areas. Over $5 million was invested in the eight month renovation that resulted in an educational facility that is, essentially, new.

d. Demonstrate economic development impact of current/future programs (i.e.,

technical training centers, Life Science Corridor initiatives, etc.).

WMU’s faculty and students are involved in research and outreach projects that are important to the region and enhance the university’s presence in the state. Alternative and renewable energy research are important and growing fields that have both short‐term and long‐term impacts on economic development. Among the research topics currently being funded are alternative fuels, solid oxide fuel cells, plug‐in electric hybrid vehicles, and wind turbines.

The Business, Technology and Research Park on WMU’s Parkview Campus is a designated Michigan SmartZone. Forty‐one businesses and start‐up companies are currently operating in the BTR Park, employing over 730 people. Many are involved in health and life science research and development, contributing to and enhancing southern Michigan’s life sciences corridor. Strategic partners in the BTR Park are the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Michigan Technology Tri‐ Corridor, and Southwest Michigan First. Phase One of the BTR Park development is now fully occupied.

WMU’s Biosciences Research and Commercialization Center (BRCC), located in the Southwest Michigan Innovation Center in the BTR Park, supports new life science ventures by providing startup and gap funding assistance, BioLaunch pharmaceutical development services, and pharmaceutical commercialization expertise. Strategic partners in the BRCC are the Core Technology Alliance, the Michigan Economic Development Corporations, Southwest

Michigan First, Southwest Michigan Innovation Center, and the 21st Century Job Fund. In 2011, the WMU School of Medicine received its first research grant from the

Michigan Strategic Fund, a $3.8 M investment via the Biosciences Research & Commercialization Center (BRCC). The WMU Board of Trustees approved the purchase of the Southwest Michigan Innovation Center (SMIC) by the Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed) for medical research space in July, 2015.



Currently, discussions are taking place to establish an Advanced Manufacturing

Partnership Lab at the WMU Grand Rapids Downtown Campus creating a manufacturing initiative partnering with stakeholders in the Grand Rapids area. Plans to move the lab forward will require the renovation or retro‐fitting of existing space on the first and second floors of the WMU Grand Rapids‐Downtown facility.

In October, 2015, members of the Board of Trustees affirmed plans for the College of

Aviation and the College of Health and Human Services to establish a presence in west central Florida. This alternate location will provide an extension of the course offerings from the WMU‐Battle Creek College of Aviation location to the market in Charlotte County, Florida. Extended University Programs has completed extensive market research indicating that there is demand and projected growth for programming in this region in Florida. Currently, plans call for utilizing existing facilities for program offerings. There is the possibility of future expansion and addition of program offerings available through the Colleges of Health and Human Services and Fine Arts, as reflected through projected market growth.

Several academic units within the University need additional space to accommodate

the growing need for student learning and meeting spaces, as well as the increase in administrative support. The Graduate College and the WMU Thomas M. Cooley School of Law will both require office space for faculty and administrative support, as well as classrooms. Similarly, the Flexible Printing Technology Grant and Center will require additional laboratory and administrative space. In a collaborative effort with several colleges, dedicated space on the second‐floor of Waldo Library was reallocated to create the Bronco Study Zone for Student Academic Success and Support. This initiative provides for students to receive tutoring and academic assistance in part through the repurposing of the University Libraries as a learner‐centered location for group work, meeting, and project development. This is keeping with the changing paradigm for libraries across the country which are no longer utilized as book repositories, but provide a location for active listening and engaged learning.


FY 2017 ‐ 2021

III. Staffing and Enrollment Colleges and universities must include staffing and enrollment trends in the annual Five‐Year Capital Outlay Plan. This component should:

IV. Facility Assessment A professionally developed comprehensive facilities assessment is required. The assessment must identify and evaluate the overall condition of capital facilities under college or university control. The description must include facility age, use patterns, and an assessment of general physical condition. The assessment must specifically identify:+

+(In the event that comprehensive, current physical facility assessments are not available, the Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan must include data from the most recent physical facility assessment and describe the schedule by which a new assessment will be completed.)

a. Summary description of each facility (administrative, classroom, biology, hospital, etc.) according to categories outlined in “net-to-gross ratio guidelines for various building types,” DMB-Office of Design and Construction Major Project Design Manual, appendix 7. If facility is of more than one “type”, please identify the percentage of each type within a given facility;

The chart, “WMU Facilities Information”, (included in this section) provides a

brief conditions assessment of the university’s capital facilities, including building age, replacement value (from the 2015-16 MUSIC property valuation), and type of use. The 2014-2015 General Fund Deferred Maintenance report, produced by the WMU Department of Facilities Management, contains information on building systems conditions and provides lists of recommended deferred maintenance projects. A copy of the report is appended to this document.

Facilities and Infrastructure Summary

Oakland Drive Campus to satisfy parking and circulation needs for both vehicles and pedestrians. Long‐term parking needs for the College will continue to be addressed as needed.

Sites for future parking decks on the main campus have been identified. Maintenance and reconstruction projects are planned for main campus roads and parking lots. The reconfiguration of parking lots 41, 49, 68, and 69 were part of the Sangren Hall Site Project.

The two parking decks on the Parkview Campus are under evaluation to

determine future maintenance needs. As part of the on‐going efforts to complete and improve the perimeter ring road that is a component of the 2000 Campus Master Plan, there are plans to reconfigure Knollwood Avenue, rebuilding it with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

See the 2014‐2015 Deferred Maintenance report for additional information on

facilities infrastructure.

h. Adequacy of existing utilities and infrastructure systems to current and 5‐year projected programmatic needs;

The WMU Facilities Management Engineering and Operations Divisions conduct a yearly review of university facilities, including buildings, utilities, and infrastructure systems, which identifies necessary infrastructure repairs, upgrades or replacements, and which prioritizes deferred maintenance projects. See the 2014‐2015 Deferred Maintenance report for information on utilities and infrastructure systems.

i. Does the institution have an enterprise‐wide energy plan? What are its goals? Have energy audits been completed on all facilities, if not, what is the plan/timetable for completing such audits?

Land Summary: total of 1200+ acres of grounds

a. Main Campus, comprised of West Campus, East Campus, and Oakland Drive Campus - 606 acres, of which 53 acres are leased back to the State for the Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital. The University’s 1970 Campus Development Plan called for acquisition of properties contiguous to the west and northwest of the existing campus, to form the basis for future planning and facility development. The 1970 provisions for growth and development formed the central campus as it exists today. The 2000 Campus Master Plan provided an updated growth and development strategy for the future. The Campus Master Plan is available at WMU Facilities Management - Planning Division or on the web at: http://www.cf.wmich.edu/masterplan/

b. Parkview Campus – 276 acres. The Parkview Campus contains the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences building, the Paper Coating Pilot Plant, the Energy Resource Center and two parking decks. It is also the site for the Business, Technology and Research Park. The Parkview Campus Master Plan and the Research Park Design Standards are the basis for development of the Parkview Campus. Both are available at WMU Facilities Management – Planning Division or on the web at: http://www.cf.wmich.edu/planning/WebSites/ParkviewCampusMasterPlan/

FY 2017 ‐ 2021

V. Implementation Plan

The Five‐Year Capital Outlay Plan should identify the schedule by which the institution proposes to address major capital deficiencies, and:

a. Prioritize major capital projects requested from the State, including a brief project

description and estimated cost, in the format provided. (Adjust previously developed or prior years figures utilizing industry standard CPI indexes where appropriate.);

Priority No. 1 is the proposed renovation and addition to the College of Aviation

Classroom & Fleet Maintenance Building. Master plan studies for the College of Aviation were conducted in 2008 and resulted in the Campus Physical Development Plan in 2009. As a result of that Plan several needed projects were identified. One of those, this project is to improve and expand facilities at the College of Aviation that address current and future enrollment needs. New classrooms/labs are necessary to continue to accept students at the college that will match the quality of instruction and research to the standards of practice needed to meet the needs of the aviation/aerospace industry. Additionally, this improvement and expansion will promote the level of excellence and high standards in all educational programs, recruitment and outreach, and research, which will provide state, national, and international significance. Refer to the chart, “Major Projects: FY 2015 – 2016”, for proposed or planned projects and estimated schedule information The chart contains brief project descriptions, capital project priorities, and estimated costs.

The Western Michigan University Campus Master Plan

The Western Michigan University Campus Master Plan, initiated by President Elson Floyd in 1999, was completed and published in 2000. The Master Plan resulted from meetings, interviews, and research involving University faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as representatives of the city of Kalamazoo, neighborhood groups and interested members of the community. Key to the Campus Master Plan are the Fundamental Concepts. These ten guidelines are directions for future planning. They are used to test and evaluate the scope and direction of major projects at the University, including building projects, road and parking improvements, and signage.

The complete Campus Master Plan, including the Summary Brochure and the two‐volume Technical Report may be found on the web at: http://www.cf.wmich.edu/masterplan/


FY 2017 ‐ 2021

Development of the new Parkview Campus is governed by the 2000 Parkview

Campus Master Plan and the Business, Technology and Research Park Design Standards. Both documents are on file at WMU Campus Facilities or on the web at: http://www.cf.wmich.edu/planning/WebSites/ParkviewCampusMasterPlan/ Western Michigan University Planning Process

The Western Michigan University professional staff continually evaluates the

appropriateness of function and performance of its facilities relative to technical needs, anticipated program growth and changing program requirements, modern teaching standards, new and evolving academic delivery systems, student services, facilities support and maintenance services. Priority has been given to academic programs housed in facilities inadequate to support modern technical and teaching requirements, and to colleges and departments that suffer from being physically scattered throughout the campus, causing inefficient operation and administration of programs and services, and diminished or non‐existent interaction of students and faculty.

In addition, every potential project is evaluated as to how it will affect existing

buildings functions and access, pedestrian and vehicular circulation and parking, demand on utilities, and the capacity of the stormwater management system. b. If applicable, provide an estimate relative to the institution’s current deferred

maintenance backlog. Define the impact of addressing deferred maintenance and structural repairs, including programmatic impact, immediately versus over the next five years;

The annual Deferred Maintenance Report, appended in abridged form to this

report, addresses anticipated structural and systems repairs over the next 5 to 10 years, and recommends priorities for all major facilities maintenance. Critical items requiring immediate attention are also identified in the annual report.

Maintenance items relating to health and safety are of critical importance. Maintenance schedules for these items are determined, as appropriate, by WMU Public Safety, Environmental Health and Safety, and the Engineering and Maintenance Divisions of WMU Facilities Management.

c. Include the status of on‐going projects financed with State Building Authority resources and explain how completion coincides with the overall Five‐Year Capital Outlay Plan;

All current State Building Authority funded projects have been completed.


FY 2017 ‐ 2021

d. Identify to the extent possible, a rate of return on planned expenditures. This

could be expressed as operational “savings” that a planned capital expenditure would yield in future years;

A rate of return on planned expenditures, or the future “operational savings”

from a planned capital expenditure has not been projected for all projects. The annual Deferred Maintenance Report estimates the yearly cost of preventative and deferred maintenance schedules, and includes analysis of savings and paybacks resulting from the University’s energy management programs.

e. Where applicable, consider alternatives to new infrastructure, such as distance learning;

The university conducts on‐going faculty development and classroom technology reviews and upgrade. The Office of Information Technology and WMU’s Extended University Programs work directly with the academic departments to develop and provide alternative learning solutions, including on‐line courses and degree programs, regional site programs, compressed video interactive television, conversion of face‐to‐face course content to web‐based delivery, and “tape delay” recorded lectures.

In‐depth discussions of technology needs and alternative teaching methods

occur during the programming phase of each major capital project. Outside professional specialists assist staff from Facilities Management, information and academic technology, the Registrar’s office, and others, in proposing and evaluating the latest trends in institutional facilities and course delivery systems. f. Identify a maintenance schedule for major maintenance items in excess of

$1,000,000 for FY 2016 – FY 2020.

The annual Deferred Maintenance Report, included in this submittal, estimates the costs of all anticipated maintenance items.

g. Identify the amount of non‐routine maintenance the institution has budgeted for

in its current fiscal year and relevant sources of financing.

WMU has no budget for non‐routine maintenance in the current fiscal year.
